Water-Soluble Bikinis

Dissolving Bathing Suit is Perfect for Summertime Revenge

— August 16, 2009 — Fashion
This dissolving bathing suit is water soluble, which means that after exposure to water for three minutes, it will disappear completely. Talk about a gag gift!

The dissolving bathing suit is a fantastically naughty revenge tool for a diabolical individual who wants to ensure their target is embarrassed in public. I could also see couples investing in this dissolving bathing suit to lessen their inhibitions at a nude beach.

Implications - **What implication does this have for businesses

Bikinis have long been known to fly off many women upon jumping in to a pool or indulging in water sports such as water-skiing, tubing or wake-boarding. As such, products like these water-soluble bikinis that mimic this common consumer complaint act as not a solution, but a humorous embrace of the problem.
Trend Themes
1. Water-soluble Bikinis - Creating water-soluble bikinis that disappear when exposed to water for a certain period of time presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the swimwear industry.
2. Embarrassment-inducing Products - Developing products like the dissolving bathing suit that are designed to embarrass individuals in public can disrupt the prank or gag gift industry.
3. Nudity Acceptance - Promoting nude beaches and encouraging couples to embrace nudity by investing in dissolving bathing suits can disrupt societal norms around nudity and body acceptance.
Industry Implications
1. Swimwear - The swimwear industry can explore the creation of water-soluble bikinis as a novel and entertaining swimwear option.
2. Prank or Gag Gift - The prank or gag gift industry can leverage embarrassment-inducing products like dissolving bathing suits to attract customers looking for humorous and unconventional gifts.
3. Nude Beach Tourism - The tourism industry focused on nude beaches can benefit from promoting the idea of investing in dissolving bathing suits to encourage couples and individuals to embrace nudity and visit nude beaches.
