About Smart Swimsuits

How do the smart swimsuits work?

Our innovative swimsuits are made of a special mesh-like fabric. Tiny holes allow sunlight to reach your skin. Meanwhile, the constant movement exposes different areas of skin to the sun and hides others which allows you to tan without burning.

You do not need to apply sunscreen underneath the fabric, aiming to avoid burns. Prioritise the well-being of your skin and the oceans by cutting down on the use of sunscreens containing harmful chemicals.

Does Smart SwimSuits's fabric work as SPF35 effect?

Yes. The fabric consists of thousands of tiny holes (pores) that are intertwined with each other and let the sun rays through. Due to this function, smart swimsuits provide the same protection level from the sun, as the medium SPF sunscreen.

Do I need still use sunscreen if I have Smart SwimSuits?

We recommend to use reef safe sunscreen for the open parts of your body.

If you apply reef safe SPF35 sunscreen to the open areas of the body, you will get a smooth and soft tan all over your body.

How fast Smart SwimSuits dry?

In addition, this fabric feels more comfortable on the body, allows the skin to breathe and dries faster than its usual counterparts between 5 to 15 minutes on your body.

You can stay on the beach longer, your skin will not burn, blush or eventually peel off, there will be no redness or pain.

Swimsuits are not transparent, because we work prints carefully, so that they visually create a dense fabric effect.

Do Smart SwimSuits have shape-wear like effect?

Celebrate Your Beauty: Built-in shape-wear features flatter your figure and make you feel fabulous (though we think you are perfect just the way you are, it is nice to have the extra "support" on some days!).

What are Smart SwimSuits made of?

Our swimsuits are crafted from a mesh-like fabric designed for comfort and breathability.

  • Swimsuits: 81% polyester, 19% lycra
  • Swimwear with shape-wear -like effect: 69% polyester, 31% elastane
  • Beachwear: 93% polyester, 7% elastane

Please note: fabric composition may vary slightly by style — check the product description for exact details.

Are Smart SwimSuits transparent?

No, Smart SwimSuits are almost not transparent owing to the density of the fabric and the prints we choose. 

However, the fabric is very thin due to the huge number of tiny pores that allow the sun's rays to pass through and get you tanned. So, the level of transparency may depend on how much it is stretched on the body. 

If you are very nervous and modest, then you should choose a more intense print that visually covers the body and creates an opaque effect. The more solid the pattern, the more transparent it gets.

How quickly can I get tanned in a Smart SwimSuit?

The intensity and time of tanning depends on many factors, the main of which is the level of melanin in your skin. 

We recommend using reef safe sunscreen with a higher factor (up to 50) during the first days of sun exposure for areas that are not covered by a Smart SwimSuit. In this case your body have time to get used to tanning, especially if some areas have never sunbathed before. In rare cases, it takes longer than usual to smooth the tan out.

How long can you stay in the sun in Smart SwimSuits?

Smart Beachwear and Smart SwimSuits with sleeves allow you to stay in the sun for longer amount of time than usual swimwear. However, we don't recommend staying too long in the sun – even with all the protection your body will not be able to withstand general overheating if over-exposed to the sun. 

Smart SwimSuit works like a sunscreen with an average level of SPF 35: for different skin tone (lighter/darker skin than average) there will be a different effect.

How long the Smart SwimSuit last?

Proper care is one of the key factors that affect the longevity of any swimsuit. Normally, swimsuits are designed to be used for one season, but you can double the time by taking proper care of your swimwear. 

Even the most expensive and high-quality models lose their shape and become useless because of the exposure to the effects of UV protection sunscreens and other external factors. 

The main rule to extend the life of a swimsuit: you should never leave it wet and crumpled. Rinse it in cool fresh water and be sure to dry it in accordance with the directions on the care label. Wash it only by hand, in a lightly soapy water at a temperature of 20-30 degrees. Try to avoid contact with the fabric when using sunscreens. 

Also you should have in mind that hydromassage jets and saunas are fatal to the elastane fibers found in a swimsuit.
