What material is good for children’s swimsuits

The best swimsuit fabric is mainly made of 18% spandex, rather than buying swimsuits with a large amount of polyester fabric, especially one-piece swimsuits, which require very high elasticity of the fabric, otherwise swimming will be tied up.

1. Spandex fabric

The best swimsuit material now is spandex, especially with a requirement for spandex content of 15% or more, with 18% being the best. This swimsuit has excellent elasticity and can stretch freely with body movement. When swimming, it is important to pay attention to the adaptability of the fabric to the chlorine molecule content in the pool water. Currently, swimsuits made of three-dimensional elastic fabrics, which are the most popular internationally, are most suitable for use in low-temperature water or swimming. Because this fabric has more hollows, it is easy to maintain body temperature.

2. Nylon fabric

Nylon fabric is the material used in most mid-range swimsuits. It is a fabric obtained by blending or interweaving nylon filament or short fiber, which combines the characteristics and strengths of each fiber. The characteristics of nylon fabric are toughness and durability, but the disadvantages are poor elasticity, easy wrinkling, decreased wet strength, and easy sagging when worn. Nylon fabric swimsuits belong to the mid price range. Of course, compared to spandex fabric swimsuits, they may not have enough elasticity, but their toughness is very good. Due to its low price, it is also the most commonly used swimsuit fabric nowadays.

3. Polyester fabric

Swimwear made of polyester fabric has lower elasticity and is easily restricted to the limbs, so it is mostly used in small area split swimsuits and is not suitable for one-piece swimsuits. They are basically low-end products. This material is rarely used alone and is mostly mixed with spandex and nylon for use.

How to choose a children’s swimsuit

Generally speaking, when choosing swimsuits for children, bright colors are the main focus to help parents pay attention to whether their children are engaged in dangerous activities or entering dangerous areas. In addition, the following issues should also be noted:

1. When choosing children’s clothing for children, most people have the mentality of choosing a larger size due to their consideration of the child’s fast growth characteristics and the comfort of wearing it. However, swimwear involves the functionality of movement after entering the water. A larger size swimsuit not only does not fit snugly on the child’s body and is not easy to look at, but it may also appear particularly loose due to the buoyancy of water. Therefore, when choosing, it is better to choose a swimsuit that fits your child well. Even if the child grows taller or fatter, the elasticity of the swimsuit material can still provide a comfortable fit.
2. For young children who cannot control their urinary urgency, it is recommended to buy a detachable style that is easy to put on and take off.
3. Children before the age of seven develop rapidly, so when choosing a swimsuit, in addition to comfort and aesthetics, attention should also be paid to whether it fits well. If you are worried about children growing up quickly, the two-piece style will block longer than the one-piece style, and the little boy’s swim trunks only differ in length. Little girls love swimsuits that highlight their playful and cute characteristics, so there are a lot of dresses.
4. Children between the ages of seven and adolescence have a more pronounced gender awareness, and boys should avoid choosing swim trunks that are too tight; Girls’ swimsuits should pay special attention to whether the crotch is too wide or too narrow, because being too wide is uncomfortable, and being too narrow can make it easier to wear. And it’s best to add half a layer of inner lining to the chest to avoid revealing the chest circumference curve after entering the water.
