A new Roidal collection is always something we go mad for. It is one of our favourite brands and no one in our offices can resist taking a peek inside the boxes as they arrive in our building. This year’s work, as we could have guessed, is no less beautiful than any other season of theirs. It brings two favourite conventions of the swimwear world under roof, blending nature designs and modern, abstract works of art. Here’s a fine example. Juli is a perfect example of how nature can be altered and taken out of its normal setting to create something completely new and different. It is rendered in a thoroughly modern monochrome, bringing it up to the razor’s edge of the fashion world. But not all of us love the stripped down, black and white look. Our next item is one that’s kept the spirit and integrity of the aquatic world intact. The ocean is full of colour and life, none of it having been taken out during the design process. Some people like monochrome and minimalist designs, but others want something that retains the authenticity of the ocean. If that sounds like you, this is the design you want to take a look at. It is reminiscent of the ocean, but not quite a carbon copy. It has plenty of the wonderful traits that we love about the natural world around us, bringing a familiarity to the collection. Here’s one more item in their collection has a piece of nature in it, but not in the way you might think. Here’s something that looks, at first glance, to be a more abstract kind of design. It isn’t, in fact. The subtle dusky pinks and the shading effects are replications of a tropical sunset. It isn’t so obvious, but the effect on your eye is the same, creating a mellow and tranquil on your consciousness immediately. There is so much more to see from Roidal’s collection this year, and this is by no means exhaustive. To see their whole collection, click here.

For those of us who are not fully aware as to what a mastectomy is then we hope you find this information useful. We also hope that ladies who have had a mastectomy find it particularly interesting and informative regarding swimwear and the availability of such items. What Is a Mastectomy? Firstly, let’s look at what a mastectomy really is. It’s an operation to remove one or both breasts. Quite often this is a treatment offered to patiences who are suffering from or who are at high risk of developing breast cancer. It can also be offered to some men as a small percentage of the population will develop breast cancer. Before having the surgery a person has every opportunity to discuss every aspect with specialist nurses or surgeons. Things like possible complications are discussed and then the options of corrective surgery will probably be talked about. Once the operation has been done and a full recovery is made it is important for a woman to get back to feeling good about herself once more. Women don’t want to and certainly don’t need to feel different in any way so it’s very important that ladies get back in to the swing of things quickly. We all know that a great way to recover from any illness is to take regular exercise. A good form of gentle exercise is of course swimming. What Options Are Available After A Mastectomy? However, it can be difficult for ladies to find the appropriate swimwear. Years ago a lady would really struggle and perhaps would have to forgo the enjoyment of swimming as it simply was not possible to find swimwear that fitted properly and didn’t give the game away. That’s not the case now though. Specialist swimwear manufacturers such as Anita and Jamu have bought swimwear to a different level. There are now products available that allow a woman to simulate the presence of a breast for both bras and swimwear. Prosthesis breasts are available for both in and out of the water and come in a range of different cup sizes. These manufacturers have also come up with beautiful swimwear designs, which include both swimsuits and bikinis that come up a little higher at the top of the chest so as to not reveal any scar tissue. They also have hidden pockets inside the top of the suit or bikini so that prosthesis can be inserted. This kind of swimwear is exempt from VAT but can come in quite pricy nonetheless. What Kinds Of Mastectomy Swimwear Are There? One manufacturer in particular is deemed to be the market leader in mastectomy swimsuits at the moment. Jamu, who are an Australian brand, have revolutionised the industry with their trendy designs. And women wear them whether they have had a mastectomy, or not. Their designer Lydia Leong started Jamu in 2005. She has a passion for providing women of all ages and sizes with perfectly fitting swimsuits and bikinis. She wants all women to feel confident and at ease in her swimwear. The company has gone from strength to strength with it’s innovative designs and high quality garments.

Tummy control swimsuits are one of the single most sought after types of designs in beach fashion. We get asked for good tummy control swimsuits often. And they make up maybe half of all our sales. It is the single most popular category of swimwear. This is a really important part of any beach fashion line up, and more and more designers are making items in this category. But there must be one or two names that stand out to us as the best in the game, right? Well there is, actually. If we were to pick one name, we are confident that it would be Miraclesuit. There are a lot of other designers that make great tummy control swimsuits, of course. But no brand makes it their mission to make amazing slimming swimwear like this particular name does. They are totally dedicated to make swimwear that slims your figure, first and foremost. That is their one and only mission, and that is often the best recipe for success in the world of swimwear. Or in any industry for that matter. So what is it exactly that Miraclesuit do that makes them the name synonymous with shaping swimsuits? Are they simply more constrictive? Do they have a basic type of shaping but have a huge range of designs and just offer more choice? Or are they better engineered than any of their competitors? What Makes Miraclesuit’s Shaping Swimwear So Special? Well it is certainly not the case that Miraclesuit’s work is basic. In fact, it is anything but. It is is indeed that it is all about the engineering. A great and well engineered piece of clothing, especially one at technical as this type, is essential. But what specifically does that mean? Well, it means a design that is not just really robust and heavy compression. Many people fear trying Miraclesuit or other designers for the first time because they think of Victorian corsets or other gaudy and dreadful clothing meant to be good for your figure. This is not the case now, and we have technology available to us that make compression swimsuits as comfy as something that is simply skin tight like any normal item of swimwear. So how does Miraclesuit do it? Well, they are less about general constriction, and more about targeted shaping, making the areas that need it get the most attention. Lifting this or slimming that. Each design is slightly different, but none of them pinch around the hems near the hips or stop you from breathing as people fear that they might. If in doubt, order one and try for yourself just how easy they are to wear for half an hour and you will soon see they are all very straightforward to wear. What About Their Variety And Their Range? We mentioned it above, but let’s take a look at the issue of the fashion range and selection of prints again. It is actually true that Miraclesuit do concentrate on their fashion range also. But not in the way that we mentioned above. They don’t add a basic layer of tummy control or compression to the swimsuit and then spend their budget on prints and patterns. Many designers think this is the best way to get a great range. What Miraclesuit do is slightly different. They have put in all the effort and time they could into making their swimwear the most amazing example of compression swimsuits around. After they have made the greatest of its kind, which is no small feat, they only have to make small tweaks. This allows you to expand your range, and maintain the quality of your product too. Beware of designers that don’t have that engineering pedigree. They are much less likely to offer the robust and well thought out and clever slimming solutions that Miraclesuit do. Most designers do this, in fact. So how do you tell which brands are trustworthy to give you the best quality. Well, read the UK Swimwear Blog, and we will make sure to give you the right answer for each and every one of your swimwear needs. What Does A Tummy Control Swimsuit Actually Do To Your Figure? As we mentioned above, you may be unsure about wearing something that is notoriously uncomfortable or constrictive. And some brands will surely make items like that. But not Miraclesuit. Instead, what they do is target each part of your body separately. They treat each area like it was all that mattered. Your bum is shaped and lifted, with a more pert and athletic look to it. The bust is lifted and supported, shaping your chest to be more sculpted and flattering. You can do this without underwires as wires can dig into you with a shaping swimsuit. And of course, it pulls in your tummy, so you have a svelte and gym fit appearance. By treating each area of the body as its own independent thing, a designer is better able to shape each part. The results are always better, and with really good brands, they are downright impressive. Are Tummy Control Swimsuits Just For Curvy Girls? Absolutely not! It is a big assumption is fashion that things that slim or sculpt are just for plus sized women. It is true that many women who are not as confident in how they look want to slim down a touch before they hit the beach. Others, however, are real gym bunnies. They see tummy control stuff as a way to get that last bit of progress out of the gym instantly. Instead of shredding down in the gym, you can cut down a few extra pounds using your swimwear, if only visually. Others just don’t feel comfortable in a lot of swimwear and find the snug and secure fit to be more supportive, like wearing a custom fit bra. And of course, there are the health benefits, like improved circulation. This one is reason alone to try out shaping swimsuits for yourself. What About Other Designers? Are there other names in the game when it comes to tummy control? Sure there are! In fact, we have a whole section for them too. We mentioned our friends at Miraclesuit with such high praise because they really do put more into it than any other name. But a lot of other designers are trying their hand at swimsuits for curvy girls and plus sized swimwear. Naturally, slimming swimwear is a big part of that effort, and a lot of curvy women want to slim down before they hit the beach, and this time of sculpting swimwear can help that an awful lot. Although as we mentioned above, slimming swimwear is for everyone. It can help build confidence and change your figure and even keep you healthier. Even some big fashion designers are contributing now, making stylish swimsuits with built in tummy control, for those who want high end fashion and a flattering look. So take a look at some other brands too, right here in our slimming swimwear range, and find exactly what you want.
