COTTON & HEMP SWIMWEAR BRAND SAVING THE SEAS

"Who needs petrol based bikinis when our cotton or hemp swimwear brands let you swim in plant based fibers?

It seemed like such a great idea, buying bathing suits made from recycled plastic. Loads of sustamable etlucal brands bragged about all the recovered fishing nets and drinking bottles they'd spun into sexy swimwear. But then we learned about microplastic pollution from clothes, and all that changed now we know that every swim in such garments sheds microfibers of plastic into the ocean. So, what's the solution?

Cotton or hemp swimwear, it seems.

I know what you're thinking, though cotton or hemp swimwear has issues it's going to get wet, and sag Or worse yet, fall right off my body And to that, I say, think again

See, it really depends on two things: the design cut of the bathing suit, and whether there's also a bit of elastic thrown into the style. You won't find bandeau tops made from hemp that stay put, for example. But I can say with great confidence that I've personally tried few of the hemp swimwear brands on the market, and lo and behold no sagging, and certainly no unexpected nudity!

Cotton and hemp swimwear is certainly a bit different from its synthetic fabric sisters, it doesn't dry out as fast, and you won't find any neon colors in these natural fibers, not will you find push up bras, zig-zaggiung strings of 60's style cutouts, for example. Because yep those would cause the suit to sag when wet! But what you will find are soft materials that are just fine in water".
