kathyemma Posted November 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Has anyone even worn the solar tan swimsuits? I got a few for my upcoming cruise. Parts of my body have NEVER seen the sun - i am going to have to put some strong sunblock on - but I do want to get a little color. How well do these suits work?

eandj Posted November 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2007 A lady I met on a cruise a couple years ago told me she was wearing one. Said she put spf "all over" before putting on her suit. A few days later, she told me it was a big mistake. Too much "virgin" skin got burned. She said she looked "very interesting" in the nude. Sounds like something you'll have to be careful of.

critterfriend Posted November 9, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I have worn a few of their suits. Just put a stronger sunscreen on those areas that normally don't receive sun exposure....a lower spf on the other parts that do. They don't keep you from not having tan lines...just the lines are as hugely noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Wouldn't you have to reapply if you go in the water too? Seems like an awful lot of work and care. If Kathy is worried, I'd suggest she hit a tanning booth before cruising and get a "glow";) on those "white cheeks" before using the new suits. But be very careful with that whole thing too.

rebeljohn Posted November 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I had never heard of these bathing suits until I read this thread. I bought one for the wife(she hates tan lines) and we'll see how it goes. I ordered it on line and it fit her perfectly...........We'll be on the Zuiderdam the week after Thanksgiving.........

cb at sea Posted November 17, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Be careful if the suit is light colored--because they are loosely woven, when wet, sometimes you can see right through them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebeljohn Posted December 14, 2007 #10 Share Posted December 14, 2007 My wife liked the solar tan bathing suit. She did get some sun through the suit, but had faint tan lines too. Here she is at Half Moon Cay ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KandCsailing Posted December 14, 2007 #11 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It looks so much nicer on your wife than on the model. If I had only seen it on the model I wouldn't buy one because it doesn't look like it has any coverage on the sides of her chest. I wouldn't want anything to fall out.
