While many of you may be familiar with bikini tops have you ever heard of swim bras? Women's swim bras offer more support and coverage than a typical bikini top, making them a great option for new moms, women with bigger busts, women over 50, and women looking for a more modest swimwear top. We also love them for active women who need more support while doing their favorite water activities.
When choosing the best swim bra for your body, how do you know what to look out for? Continue reading to learn all about your ultimate guide for choosing the best women’s swim bra – right in time for summer.
What Is a Swim Bra?
A swim bra is a supportive bra that’s meant to be worn while swimming, relaxing on the beach, and/or partaking in other various water activities, like snorkeling, kayaking, participating in water aerobics, or paddle boarding. Swim bras typically have wider straps and padding to provide more coverage and support.
Why Wear a Swim Bra Instead of a Bikini Top?
If you want to wear a bikini top, please do so, we aren’t here to tell you not to, but if you’d like more comprehensive coverage keep on reading. Often women like wearing a swim bra instead of a bikini top as it makes them feel more confident. More coverage and support means less chaffing, rashes, and accidental flashes (it can be embarrassing to accidentally fall out of your bikini top at the beach).
What Are the Benefits of Swim Bras?
Swim bras provide more coverage than bikini tops, sports bras, and bathing suits, making them an excellent option for women over 50, women who just had a baby, or women who need more chest support. Here are some additional benefits of swim bras:
Provides adequate coverage without restricting movement.
Supports your chest and stays put even with your active lifestyle.
What Should You Look for When Choosing a Swim Bra?
What you should look for when choosing a swim bar will vary according to what you're looking for but here are some factors to take into consideration:
Fabric
You want to ensure that the fabric you choose is comfortable and doesn't rub against certain areas of your body. Your chest and underarm areas are pretty sensitive so make sure that you find a swim bra made with either cotton or bamboo viscose fabric that is soft to the touch.
UPF Rating
To ensure that you are protected under the sun look for a woman's swim bra that also has a UPF rating. We recommend a UPF level of 50 or higher, which means you're protected from over 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays. All of our swim bras are rated UPF 50+ for best-in-class UV protection under the sun.
Fit
Be sure to find the right fit when it comes time to choose a women's swim bra. Look at various fits and cuts to determine what you'd like. If you're looking for a more modest swim bra, choose one that has a higher neckline. If you'd like your swim bra to fit tighter to support you more during your favorite water activities, look for one that has a more snug fit.
Quality
We also recommend finding a ladies' swim bra that's made out of high-quality material. Swim bras go through it as they're exposed to the sun, chlorine, and saltwater constantly. Find a durable swim bra that won't pill and fall apart after a couple of uses and washes.
At UV Skinz all our swim bras are saltwater and chlorine resistant to make them durable enough to wear all summer long.
