We know shopping for swimwear and activewear can be tricky at the best of times, so when we put the call out on socials for all your burning questions we wanted to put the answers in one spot for future shopping reference.
Welcome to the all -you-need-to-know sizing guide! Because shopping for sustainable, ethical and Australian made swimwear shouldn't mean you have to compromise on quality of fit and sizing.
If I measure between sizes, should I size up or down?
For our swimwear we recommend sizing up for comfort. Our activewear is best worn fitted for support so we say size down for that. This is good to note when buying kids swimwear and tweens swim too.
What if I get my size wrong?!
We offer free exchanges for all pieces if you get your size wrong, no dramas!
But we are serious about giving you all the fit and sizing info to make an informed choice when you buy your bikini, one peice or new activewear set with us! Click here to see our sizing chart.
I have short torso/long torso / specific awesome body feature that I need to consider when buying swimwear, help!
We got you girl. The best option is to get a custom order piece. Say you need a one piece for an extra long torso, pop the piece you want in your basket, add our customisation listing, and pop in a note to us when you checkout. Too easy! Customised, sustainable, ethical and unique swimwear for you? tick tick and tick.
Which are your best high waisted bottoms?
That’d be the Cindy bikini bottoms. These come in 4 colours for you to choose from.
Can I swim in your bike shorts and sports bras?
100% ALL our activewear can be worn as swimwear. It’s quick drying, non clinging and super comfy.
Which styles would suit an E cup?
The Linda bikini is our most supportive (and most comfortable!) top for sure. Linda is double lined, has fitted cups, optional padding and elastic under the bust. She’s the Beyonce of bikini tops; talented and hard working ; )
Do your bikini tops and active crops come with padded inserts?
All our bikini tops (apart from the reversibles) have side pockets to add your own padding in. We are still on the hunt for a good eco friendly bikini cup to offer with your purchase. Watch this space!
