The importance of swimwear

In summer, high temperatures make us uncomfortable and force us to wear less covering clothing. That’s where swimwear comes in. They cover the intimate parts of the body while offering good comfort. So your children can have fun and enjoy the summer. What’s more, swimsuits protect against sunburn.

The swimsuit slips discreetly into children’s shorts. The garment will be easier to remove at the beach.

It’s important to choose well. You need to follow certain selection criteria: quality, comfort and protection.

Design materials for children’s swimwear

Today’s swimsuits are made from a blend of elastane, nylon, PBT, natural fibers, cotton and polyester. Which of these materials should you choose?

Nylon

Lightweight and robust, nylon is an economical material. Nylon garments fit snugly around the body. However, the fabric loses its luster with regular exposure to sunlight.

The manufacture of nylon releases nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas. What’s more, the dyes used to decorate nylon fabrics contaminate the water.

Polyester

Polyester

is used in the manufacture of sports swimwear. The material is chlorine-resistant. It’s also renowned for its durability. Polyester swimwear is 3 times more durable than nylon swimwear.

However, polyester is less elastic. Despite this slight drawback, it is an excellent choice.

Elastane

If you’re looking for a comfortable, elastic swimsuit, choose elastane. It’s easy to put on. However, it is sensitive to chlorine and salt. That’s why it deforms with use.

To ensure durability, we recommend rinsing after each use.

Cotton

Children’s swimsuits made from cotton have the advantage of being soft and pleasant to wear. However, for health and environmental reasons, opt for organic cotton models.

PBT

More elastic than conventional polyester, PBT is appreciated for its comfort. The material is also resistant to heat and chlorine.

Other fibers to choose

Other ecologically renowned materials are also used in swimwear design. These include hemp and linen. However, they are less resistant than their artificial counterparts.
