Women’s Swimsuits FAQs
What types of swimsuits for women does WHBM offer?
WHBM offers a wide variety of swimsuits for women, including:
- One-pieces
- Tankinis
- Bikinis
We carry a wide range of swimwear in various sizes and colorways, as well as cover-ups to complete the look.
How do I choose a flattering swimsuit for my body type?
The most flattering swimsuit is the one you feel confident and comfortable wearing. Start by thinking about what you want to highlight. For example, a women’s bikini may accentuate your curves and help you feel feminine and confident. From there, different swimsuit styles can enhance specific features.
If you want more waist definition, try belted one-pieces, wrap styles, or high-waist bottoms. To accentuate your bust, look for plunging necklines, halter tops, or underwire support. For extra bust support, wide straps, molded cups, and structured tops work well.
If you want to highlight your curves, choose high-leg cuts, adjustable side ties, or body-hugging one-pieces. For more hip or bottom coverage, go for mid-rise or full-coverage bottoms, swim skirts, or boy shorts. To elongate your legs, go for high-cut bottoms.
What materials are best for women’s swimwear?
The best materials for women’s swimwear include fabrics that are quick-drying, supportive, and comfortable. A few common swimsuit materials are polyester, nylon, and spandex. These materials are made to last and remain durable after time spent on the beach or at the pool. They’re also specifically designed to stretch for lounging and exploring.
In addition to high-quality materials, it’s also essential to consider the fit and style of the bathing suit. It should fit snugly without discomfort or restriction of movement, and the style should reflect your taste.
What is the return policy for swimsuits?
We ask that you return your item within 60 days of purchase and that it be in its original condition with tags attached. Swimsuits purchased online can be returned or exchanged at a WHBM boutique near you or via mail.
Please keep in mind that our return policy excludes swimwear for women marked as “final sale” or “as-is.”
What sizes do women’s swimsuits come in?
Our swimsuits for women, vacation wear, cover-ups, and more are available in a variety of sizes, including XXS (00) to XL (18).
You can also mix and match different tops and bottoms to get the best fit, which is especially helpful if your sizes differ between your bust, waist, and hips. This allows you to choose the exact support, coverage, and silhouette you prefer.
If you aren’t sure what size you need for a women’s swimsuit, we recommend measuring your bust, torso, waist, and hips and comparing your measurements to our size chart.
How do you care for women’s swimwear to make it last?
To help your swimwear last longer:
- Rinse it with cool water as soon as possible after swimming to remove chlorine, salt, and sunscreen.
- Hand wash your suit with a gentle detergent.
- Lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric’s color and elasticity.
Avoid wringing or twisting the suit, since that can stretch out the fibers. It also helps to rotate between swimsuits so each one has time to fully dry. Skip the washing machine and dryer, and keep your suit away from rough surfaces that can snag the material.
