Consumers find themselves caught in a dilemma when they try to strike a balance between coverage for certain areas of their body while also avoiding the inevitable tan lines that come with swimwear, but FreeTan Swim's tan-through swimwear ends the struggle between desiring both sun-kissed freedom and personal comfort. The brand's tan-through swimsuits—including one-piece suits and bikinis in a range of styles—are made with a special fabric that has micro-holes so that UV rays can pass through for a seamless, touched-by-the-sun glow.
According to the brand, the soft, stretchy and flattering swimwear styles were scientifically developed to "[filter[ out the majority of UV-B rays while letting in Tanning UV-A Rays."
Additionally, the design of the swimsuits means they naturally absorb less water and dry significantly faster than conventional swimwear.
