Period Swimwear FAQs

Dive into worry-free swimming, even on your period!
Hello! Can I really swim while wearing period swimwear?

Absolutely!
Our period swimwear is designed to let you enjoy the water with total confidence. They look just like those stylish regular swimsuits but come with a fantastic hidden absorbent lining. Perfect for light to medium flow days, our period swimwear gives you comfortable and discreet protection, much like our period underwear. With our innovative waterproof design, you can finally say goodbye to the discomfort of pads or tampons and hello to worry-free beach days and pool time!

That sounds incredible! How absorbent is Beautikini period-proof swimwear?

Great question!
The absorbent lining in our period swimwear is thinner than some period pants, so we'd recommend using it for light to medium flow days. However, the gusset is made with antibacterial, breathable, and quick-drying materials, and the outer fabric has a special water-repellent coating. This helps keep pool or seawater out. For the best leak prevention, ensure the period swimwear fits snugly around your legs.

What materials are Beautikini period swimming costumes made of?

We use high-quality materials to keep you comfortable and protected:

  • Lining: 100% Polyester
  • Middle: 80% Polyester, 20% Nylon/PUL, 100% Polyester
  • Outer: 82% Nylon, 18% Spandex

Important note: We've tested our period swimwear materials in both seawater and chlorine. However, we're not responsible for damage caused by friction/abrasions (like from climbing out of the pool) or marks/bobbling from Velcro on boards.

What are the amazing benefits of period swimsuits?

Get ready to experience total freedom! Our period swimwear offers:

  • Built-in leak protection for complete peace of mind.
  • Absorbency up to 3-4 tampons worth.
  • Say goodbye to period worries at the beach, pool, or lake!
  • Ultimate comfort, just like your favorite swimsuit, and odor-free too.
  • Discreet design that won't swell in water.
Can you explain the four-layer construction of period swimwear?

You bet! Our period swimwear has four thoughtfully designed layers:

  • Breathable top layer: Keeps you feeling dry and comfy.
  • Anti-bacterial layer: Prevents odor and keeps bacteria at bay.
  • Leak-proof barrier: Stops menstrual flow from leaking through.
  • Super absorbent layer: Locks in menstrual flow for reliable protection.

This four-layer design (breathable top, anti-bacterial, leak-proof, super absorbent) works together to provide maximum protection against leaks and stains during swimming and water activities!

Which age group is period swimwear designed for?

While period swimwear is fantastic for teens and tweens, helping them feel more confident during their periods, it's truly designed for women of all ages who want a comfortable and discreet solution for swimming and water activities.

Does period swimwear only come in black?

Nope! Beautikini offers period swimwear in various colors, not just basic black. You'll find a period swimsuit to match your style.

How do the layers in period swimwear work to separate blood and water?

It's all about clever design! The layers in our swimwear are engineered to differentiate between blood and water using their unique absorbency and wicking properties. The inner layers are specially crafted to rapidly absorb and retain blood while actively repelling water to prevent any unwanted leaks. Conversely, the outer layers are hydrophobic, effectively repelling water and aiding in containing the blood within the inner layers. This sophisticated fluid management contributes to comfort and leak prevention.

How do I wash my period swimwear?

Washing your period swimwear is a breeze:

  • Soak: Soak them briefly in cold water.
  • Rinse: Gently squeeze out any blood stains.
  • Wash: Rinse repeatedly with cold water.
  • Dry: Air dry only (avoid the dryer, fabric softener, and bleach).
