Crafted from a premium blend of polyester and Lycra, our swimwear features a specialized micro-perforated mesh that allows optimal sunlight to pass through. By acting as a selective UV filter, it gives you a healthy, beautifully uniform glow while completely minimizing harsh tan lines. Enjoy the sun with confidence, knowing our fabric provides a constant, reliable layer of SPF 10 protection.
Our advanced fabric allows up to five times more sunlight to pass through than traditional swimwear. While standard Lycra acts as a total block at SPF 50, our fabric provides a consistent SPF 10. This optimal balance drastically minimizes—and can even completely eliminate—harsh tan lines.
Please note: Your individual results will depend on your unique skin type, how you naturally tan, and how closely you follow the guidelines on our CONCEPT page.
Yes, our fabric is scientifically engineered and laboratory-tested. Its effectiveness in letting the right amount of sunlight through while protecting your skin is fully proven.
To achieve the best possible results, we highly recommend reviewing the guidelines on our CONCEPT page. Above all, protecting your skin is our top priority: please avoid sunburn at all costs. We recommend frequently applying sunscreen to any skin directly exposed to the sun—this helps balance your protection levels and ensures a beautifully uniform, all-over tan.
If you want to increase your sun protection underneath your swimwear, absolutely. However, keep in mind that the secret to eliminating tan lines is maintaining an even level of sun protection across your entire body. To achieve that seamless blend, we recommend regularly applying a higher SPF sunscreen to the skin that is directly exposed to the sun.
The speed and depth of your tan depend on several factors, primarily your skin's natural melanin levels. During your first few days in the sun, we highly recommend applying an SPF 30+ sunscreen to any skin not covered by your swimwear. This gives your skin—especially those areas rarely exposed to the sun—plenty of time to safely adapt to the tanning process.
Seams and elastics naturally resist UV rays, so remember to periodically shift the position of your straps while sunbathing. Also, because the chest area receives the highest concentration of direct sunlight, it may show some temporary redness post-exposure. Allow your skin time to rest and recover before assessing your tan—you'll quickly notice that those stubborn, stark tan lines are a thing of the past.
No, our textile patterns undergo strict testing specifically in the water. This ensures the fabric remains completely opaque and offers full coverage, even when wet.
To guarantee complete opacity, our swimwear undergoes an extensive development and testing process. This deliberate design focus is the reason we offer exclusively patterned pieces rather than monochrome styles. Proven to provide excellent coverage by countless women, our fabrics are reliable and secure. The sole, rare exception occurs when lighter shades overlay dark nipples, which may result in minor transparency for a very small percentage of individuals.
No, we do not offer solid-color products. Our unique textile patterns are the result of a detailed design study specifically engineered to maximize tanning effectiveness while preventing any fabric transparency, even when wet.
