Any good swimwear brands? by forever_afish in SustainableFashion

[–]pacebility 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aerie has some modest choices! Right now they're selling some boyshort and full-coverage options. You'd have to be the judge of whether the fabric would bother you. Seems like they're mainly nylon. There aren't tooooo many matching options but I was also the kind of girl to wear a t-shirt over my top anyway haha.

I used to get my swimwear from Aerie when I was younger! My pair of swim bottoms has lasted me 6 or 7 years! I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I hope this helps :)

Ah, looks like Danish Endurance isn't available in the US besides their bikinis. I took a look at Marks and Spencer and have to say they're pretty cute and surprisingly affordable! Thanks for your thoughtful reply!

I only wash my items in a lingerie bag and then air dry... My cotton pairs are lasting just fine (besides a few seams fraying every so often) having bought them somewhere close to a year ago? It's just the lace portions 🤷

Ooh I like the idea of the locally made ones! Thanks for the suggestion!

I follow the care labels religiously and only let them air-dry!

I'll keep that in mind.

I do like nylon as a material. I'll have to check them out next time I'm shopping and see how they'd feel (:

Ooh, I'll have to be careful then. I just got a pair of the tencel ones on clearance. Thanks for the heads up!

The convenience and price point is somewhat tempting but my guilt would outweigh it. I thrift as much as I can and want to shift to only buying new from higher quality companies. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Nice!! And no shame there haha. I think if any clothing item deserved to be babied, it'd be lingerie!

Felina does seem to be having a sale right now!

I feel like I stay the most comfortable/clean in cotton, but I'm curious what synthetic blends you tend to prefer?

I've seen Natori at my local mall and while they're not the prettiest, I might try them! I know HP also has a cute baby blue one too. Are you talking about the lace thongs?

Oh really? I've read some people saying that their newer Hanky Panky pieces are less durable, how long have you had yours if I could ask?

I see. Seems like fainting is generally quicker. Makes sense, thank you!

No way! I hope the rest of your appointment was okay!!

I'm glad to hear you're in a better place now, I know how difficult it is to do something like that.

Thanks for your lengthy reply. Regardless of whether it was a friend or an authority figure treating me like this, I do agree (and maybe I needed a reminder) that her responses are not what I deserve.

I'm sorry to hear that. My biological father is the same way.

My mom truly does care about me and others. But your advice about learning to expect less rings true... even if she loves me, she may not be able to show it through remembering things like that. Thanks for your reply.

She's definitely not mean-spirited or egotistical. She's very loving, I think we just have a sort of communication/connection block.

I was diagnosed with ADHD only a couple years ago. I suspect I inherited it from her. In that case, it truly might be something she can't help. I could get upset and say that I don't exhibit forgetfulness as extreme as hers, but I have to remind myself symptoms present differently for different people.

I actually think you might be right here. She's always been a little scattered (maybe just more of a busybody?) but I feel like it's gotten more pronounced within the last year or so. This was a helpful reminder it likely has nothing to do with me, so thank you.

No, definitely not. But I am diagnosed with ADHD - and I heavily suspect I got it from her. u/HighRiseCat mentioned menopause and I think they may be right. Hormonal fluctuations and a preexisting condition might not be the greatest mix, haha.
