Key takeaways

Why choose a true maternity swimsuit?

Even if a regular swimsuit may seem suitable at the beginning of pregnancy, it quickly becomes less comfortable.

Maternity swimsuits are designed to adapt to body changes thanks to:

• stretchy fabric that follows your belly without compressing it;
• side ruching for extra comfort;
• enhanced bust support;
• comfortable straps that distribute weight evenly.

Result: you can enjoy swimming with a true feeling of freedom.

UV fabric for double protection

During pregnancy, skin often becomes more sensitive to the sun due to hormonal changes.

Some women may develop melasma (pregnancy mask), triggered by excessive UV exposure.

This is why Cache Cœur swimsuits are made with UPF50+ UV protection fabric.

This technology acts as a real barrier against UV rays and complements the use of sunscreen.

Why is it called double protection?

• UPF50+ fabric filters most UV rays;
• sunscreen protects exposed areas.

Using both allows you to enjoy sunny days with more peace of mind.

Comfort first

Spending hours at the beach or pool in an uncomfortable swimsuit can quickly become unpleasant.

Choose:

• flat seams to reduce friction;
• soft, breathable fabrics;
• high elasticity that moves with your body.

A good swimsuit should feel like you're not even wearing it.

Bust support adapted to your body

During pregnancy, the bust often changes faster than the rest of the body.

Choose styles with:

• built-in bra;
• removable cups;
• adjustable straps.

Good support enhances comfort, especially in the water.
