Sustainable Bikinis for All
Women's bikinis have a variety of issues. Most will get loose in water while others don't cover enough. Some will also squeeze the wrong places. Variety is also an issue. Fit and style aside, bikinis need to have an ethical impact. That's where sustainable womens swimwear comes in. You aren't simply buying a bikini but one that has a positive impact on the environment.
Many bikinis feature plastics. Synthetic fabrics like polyester, spandex, and nylon stretch, wick moisture and reduce friction when wet. They are also inexpensive and versatile, which explains why the fashion industry loves these materials. However, the materials aren't biodegradable. They'll never decompose, which is a big issue since microfibres are bound to be released during washing.
SwimOutlet has eco-friendly bikinis made of sustainable materials. All our eco-friendly bikinis are made using eco-friendly materials featuring synthetic waste or recycled material regenerated into a nylon blend that matches the quality of virgin nylon. Most importantly, there are sustainable swimwear brands for all, regardless of size. The options are also affordable with huge discounts. Get affordable sustainable swimwear up to 75% off. What's more, enjoy a style variety with sustainable string bikini lines, solid V neck, and many other styles.
What is the most sustainable swimwear fabric?
Sustainable bikinis can either feature upcycled fibers or natural fibers. Hemp is among the most environmentally friendly fabrics. However, recycled materials blended into new fabric blends make a significant contribution.
What is the best material for bikinis?
While preferences differ, a blend of polyester and elastane stands out. This is due to the super stretchy nature of elastane fabric, best known due to brand names like Lycra and Spandex. Polyester offers superior features, such as resistance to chlorine. The fabric is also colorfast (it doesn't fade easily). Nylon is also a great material for bikinis. However, it tends to pill over time.
What are sustainable swimsuits made of?
As mentioned, most sustainable swimsuits are a combination of eco-friendly materials. They could be made of synthetic waste or recycled materials regenerated into new fabric. Hemp is a common material known for its strong fabric and excellent UV block. Sustainable swimwear can also be made from upcycled fibers, econyl (fiber made from nylon waste), or repreve (100% recycled plastic).
What is a sustainable swimsuit?
Any swimsuit made using low-impact materials can qualify as sustainable. The same applies to swimsuits made in safe conditions by persons being paid fair wages. The term sustainable may focus more on the material in question, which is either recycled fiber or synthetic waste. However, it matters how the swimsuits are made. Ideally, swimsuits that employ circular/zero waste processes are considered sustainable. There's also an emphasis on giving back to local communities and charities for sustainable causes.
