Summer is here, want to go on vacation by the sea or take a dip in the pool, but can’t find the right swimsuit because of religious beliefs, personal preferences or body concerns? In fact, Modest Swimsuit is no longer synonymous with “dull and old-fashioned”, it can not only meet diverse wearing needs, but also have both fashion and functionality. Today’s guide will start from your needs and take you to a comprehensive understanding of Modest Swimsuit to help you find the most suitable one for you.
1. Understand first: Why do you need a Modest Swimsuit? Analysis of diverse needs
When it comes to conservative swimwear, many people’s first reaction is religious needs, but in fact, it is applicable to far more than that. Whether you follow religious norms, pursue comfort in wearing, or have special body and scene needs, Modest Swimsuit can be accurately matched. Let’s start from the core needs and take a look at the specific demands of different groups of people:
1. Religious and conservative needs: Respect your beliefs and swim with peace of mind
Different religions have clear requirements for the conservatism of clothing, and swimwear is no exception. For example, the Muslim group needs swimsuits that cover the whole body, which is what we often call Muslim swimsuits and Islamic swimsuits, among which Burkini is the most representative style, which can completely wrap the head, body and limbs, while taking into account waterproofness; Judaism also has strict regulations on swimwear, and Jewish conservative swimwear emphasizes that too much skin should not be exposed, and the material should be thick and opaque; Christian conservative swimwear and Mormon swimwear pay more attention to simplicity and solemnity, avoiding tight or revealing designs.
Case sharing: I once dealt with a Middle Eastern client who clearly required swimwear to meet halal standards, not only to be wrapped all over the body, but also to pass the halal HALAL fabric certification, and finally recommended a Burkini of the Modanisa brand for her, which not only met religious needs, but also allowed her to easily participate in seaside vacation activities.
2. Other core needs: Comprehensive adaptation from body to scene
In addition to religious needs, many people choose conservative swimwear to solve body anxiety – for example, fat MM needs a plus-size conservative swimsuit to cover fat, and pregnant mothers need pregnancy and breastfeeding swimsuits to take into account comfort and breastfeeding convenience; There are also scenario-based needs, such as swimming in schools that meet the specifications of swimsuits, hot spring scenes that need breathable and warm styles, and surfing and diving that require surfing sunscreen swimsuits and diving sun protection suits with both sun protection and protection functions.
2. Style and version: Choose the right style, both conservative and fashionable
Many people think that conservative swimwear is a “sack wrapped all over the body”, but this is not the case. The current Modest Swimsuit takes into account both conservatism and fashion in the design of the version, and different styles adapt to different needs, the following is a detailed breakdown for you:
1. Basic parcel model: meet core conservative needs
This style is the basic model of the Modest Swimsuit, and the core advantage is that it is fully wrapped, adapted to religious or extremely conservative needs, mainly including:
- Long-sleeved swimsuit/trouser swimsuit/full-body one-piece swimsuit: completely wraps around the limbs and torso, is the most classic conservative style, suitable for most religious people and wearers who pursue ultimate peace of mind;
- Burkini/Hijab Swimsuit: Designed for Muslim women, it includes the main body of the swimsuit, headscarf and trousers, and the fabric is waterproof and does not fit closely, solving the problem of traditional headscarves being heavy in water.
- Nun-style swimsuit: Simple and solemn, with a loose fit and plain fabric, it adapts to the special needs of religious people such as nuns.
2. Fashion advanced model: take into account both conservatism and beauty
This type of style adds fashion elements on the basis of conservatives, which is suitable for people with conservative needs who pursue beauty, mainly including:
- Skirt swimsuit/swimsuit skirt: Adding a skirt design on the basis of a one-piece swimsuit can not only cover the buttocks and thighs, but also add a girlish feeling, suitable for hot springs, beach walks and other scenes;
- Swimwear cover-up: can be used with basic swimwear, which can not only increase the wrapping, but also create a sense of layering as an outer layer, and the material is mostly light and breathable mesh or chiffon;
- High-waisted swim trunks/boxer swim trunks: The high-waisted design can modify the waist and abdomen fat, and the boxers can cover the thighs, and it is a perfect conservative swimwear with a long-sleeved top, while the anti-light design also makes it more reassuring.
3. Functional and technical fabrics: wear with peace of mind and use with confidence
The core advantage of the Modest Swimsuit lies not only in its conservatism but also in its robust functionality. Especially in the selection of fabrics, a variety of technological elements are integrated to adapt to the needs of different scenarios, and the following will start from the core functions to analyze how to choose fabrics for you:
1. Comparison table of core functional fabrics
Functional requirements | Recommended fabrics/techniques | Applicable scenarios | Advantages explained |
|---|---|---|---|
Sun protection | UPF50+ sunscreen fabric | By the sea, outdoor pool, surfing | It can block more than 98% of UVA and UVB, meet international sun protection standards, and will not fade after long-term exposure to the sun |
Quick-drying and anti-corrosion | Quick-drying fibers, chlorine pool anti-corrosion fabrics | Public swimming pool, chlorine pool | It can be basically dry within 30 minutes after being soaked in water, resist chlorine corrosion, and extend the service life (ordinary fabrics are easy to age after 10 times of use in chlorine pools, and anti-corrosion fabrics can be used more than 30 times) |
Comfortable fit | Four-way stretch fabric | Surfing, diving, swimming lessons | It stretches both laterally and vertically, conforms to the curves of the body but is not tight, and does not feel restrictive during exercise |
Breathable and antibacterial | Breathable mesh lining, antibacterial inner file | Long-term wear, pregnancy and lactation, rehabilitation spa | Mesh lining enhances breathability and avoids stuffiness; The antibacterial inner file inhibits bacterial growth and reduces odor |
Lightweight drainage | Lightweight drainage fabric, fast drainage fiber | Surfing, diving | The fabric is lightweight and can drain quickly after contact with water, avoiding excessive water exposure to motor flexibility |
2. Expertise: Fabric certification is important
When choosing functional fabrics, be sure to pay attention to the certification mark. For example, UPF50+ sunscreen fabrics need to pass the international textile sun protection standard certification, and chlorine pool anti-corrosion fabrics need to meet the safety standards for swimming pool products. In addition, OEKO-TEX certification and EU CE safety standards are the basic guarantee for fabric safety, which means that the fabric is free of formaldehyde, heavy metals and other harmful substances, and it is more secure to wear.
4. Size and tolerance: No matter what body type, you can find the right fit
One of the core advantages of Modest Swimsuit is “inclusiveness”, whether it is a plus-size figure, a pregnant body body, or a special figure such as small breasts and tall people, you can find a suitable style. The following is recommended for you according to body type:
1. Plus size/special period body: Inclusive comfort is key
- Plus-size conservative swimsuit/fat MM swimsuit: Choose a loose but not procrastinating version to avoid tight-fitting designs that expose the shortcomings of the figure; Give preference to dark or vertical striped fabrics, which have a visual slimming effect; The waist can be selected with an elastic waist design, which can fit the waistline without strangling the abdomen;
- Pregnancy swimsuit: Adjustable shoulder straps and abdominal elastic fabric are used to adapt to the changes in the body during pregnancy; The breastfeeding opening design should be discreet and convenient, and prefer zippers or Velcro closures to avoid cumbersome operations;
- Rehabilitation spa swimsuit/post-operative scar covering swimsuit: choose soft and breathable fabrics to avoid rubbing the wound; The fit is loose and not tight, and at the same time it should have a certain elasticity to facilitate movement; Choose a style with a cover-up to enhance scar coverage.
2. Personalized body fit: Accurately match your needs
- Small-breasted conservative swimsuit: adopts built-in chest pad or gathering design to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the chest; Avoid too loose tops and choose a slightly cinched fit to create a curved figure;
- Tall elongated version: choose a style with long trousers and long clothing length to avoid the trousers that are too short to expose the ankles, and the length of the clothes is not long enough to expose the waist; Give priority to the one-piece style, and the overall proportion is more coordinated;
- Apple/pear-shaped figure friendly cut: Apple-shaped figure (thick waist and round belly) prefers a high-waisted version to cover the waist and abdomen; For pear-shaped figures (thick hips and thighs), prefer skirt or A-line fit to cover the buttocks and thighs.
5. Scene and use: A swimsuit, suitable for multiple scenarios
Different scenarios have different needs for Modest Swimsuits, and choosing the right style for the scene can make the wearing experience more perfect. The following are recommended for you according to common scenarios:
1. Leisure and relaxation scenes: comfort and aesthetics are prioritized
- Spa/beach walk: choose a swimsuit skirt or a model with a cover-up, give preference to breathable and soft cotton blends for fabrics; The color can be light or printed to add a casual atmosphere;
- Parent-child swimming lesson: Parents choose a one-piece long-sleeved model that is convenient for movement, paired with boxer swimming trunks; Children can choose the same parent-child model, which is not only unifying and beautiful, but also ensures conservatism.
2. Sporty Adventure Scenarios: Functionality prioritizes
- Surfing/diving: choose Burkini or full-body one-piece models, and give priority to the combination of four-way stretch + quick-drying + UPF50+, which can not only protect from the sun, but also ensure movement flexibility; avoid unnecessary designs such as skirts to prevent excessive resistance in the water;
- School swimming lesson: Choose a long-sleeved one-piece model that meets the school’s specifications, the color is mainly plain (avoid being too fancy), and the fabric is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant polyester fiber, which is convenient for daily cleaning.
