01 · Efficiency
Lab-tested, athlete-approved
Our menstrual technology offers an absorption capacity equivalent to approximately 2 tampons for a normal flow. This performance has been tested and validated by the IFTH, the French Institute of Textiles and Clothing.
Before reaching you, our swimsuits have also been tested in the water by athletes, including Emma Terebo, a finalist at the 2024 Olympic Games, with whom we co-designed our Emma one-piece swimsuit.
02 · Material
From fishing nets to your swimsuit
ECONYL® is a regenerated nylon yarn made from waste, such as abandoned fishing nets, fabric scraps, or used carpets. Rather than producing new nylon, we give existing materials a second life.
The result: a technical fabric that resists chlorine, salt water, and UV rays, and retains its shape swim after swim.
03 · Health
Fabrics free from harmful substances
Period swimwear is worn close to the body for several hours. That is why the fabrics of our swimwear are certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: they have been tested to guarantee the absence of substances harmful to the skin.
04 · Manufacturing
Woven in Italy, made in Portugal
Our technical fabrics come from Italy, renowned for its expertise in bath textiles. They are then made in Portugal, in a workshop with which we work directly, without any intermediaries. Your orders are then dispatched from our offices in Marseille.
This 100% European supply chain allows us to closely monitor every production run, control the quality of our finishing, and limit the distances traveled by our products.
05 · Sustainability
Designed to last
A period swimsuit can be washed and reused for several seasons, meaning one less disposable protection. To make it last, rinse it in cold water after every swim and follow the instructions on its care label.
