There are occasions where swimsuits are the protagonists of the day.

All, absolutely all women have needed at some point in their lives to find that perfect swimsuit. We measure one, then we measure another, and we realize that suddenly the one we have is not so suitable for that special occasion.

Some days we need it to play sports, others to get a little color on our skin, and others simply to relax in the pool or somewhere that is related to water. There are many occasions where swimsuits are the protagonist of the day, and we should not leave this decision adrift.

The first thing you should keep in mind is that not all swimsuits are created equal, or have the same Benefits. Each one of our garments has special characteristics to meet those tastes and needs that women we are looking for to show off our figures: more coverage in the abdomen and legs, wide straps, control of abdomen, incorporated enhancement, special fabrics, fashion details, among others...

Also, as a person who on a day-to-day basis has the opportunity to listen to all the thoughts and perceptions of women who are looking for swimsuits, I realize more and more that women need garments that reaffirm our safety and that make us feel proud of our body, and of everything we are...

That is why it is very important that when you choose that perfect garment, you have in account several factors:

• How do you want to see yourself?
• How do you want to feel?
• What benefits are you looking for?
• Which silhouettes do you like the most?
• What occasion do you want to use it for?

When we women think of a bathing suit, it is impossible not to think of happiness, beach, the heat and being able to live unique moments in paradisiacal places.

Since I was little, I have always related bathing suits with freedom, happiness and above all… fullness. But I am also aware that not all women have had such a positive relationship with these garments and everything. what they represent.

Whenever I have a consultation with a woman in the store, and they are looking precisely for a swimsuit, she He covers up and does his best not to see his imperfections in the mirror. In most cases, for them it is a difficult moment where your fears are more important than the fact that a bathing suit fits you or not.

I hear comments like: "I'm too fat, nothing fits me", "I need to lose weight, when I do, I buy the bathing suit”. And this leads me to think that many times we stop enjoying things, including putting on clothes, for the simple fact of not being satisfied with how we see ourselves. It is incredible, as in many cases, we women avoid plans to which we are invited for the simple fact that we do not we like what we see in our reflection.

I will never forget a time when I treated a young woman, she told me that she had not bought bathing suits since she he had put on a few kilos that same year. And that he was waiting to download them so he could go back to the pool and the beach as it did before. Obviously, I convinced her to get as many bathing suits as possible, and not he had to wait to be his "perfect version" to wear this type of clothing.

Speaking from my personal experience, for me, being in a bathing suit is an indescribable feeling in which At one point in my life I forget my prejudices: cellulite, stretch marks or extra kilos. This happens for the simple fact that that when I wear these clothes they are always accompanied by friends, sports and being in the sun getting that vitamin D that I like so much

That is why today, I want you to see the swimsuits, and especially those of Leonisa, as a garment that accompanies you where you can feel fuller, and that you leave complexes and self-criticism aside, while you give yourself the opportunity to feel safe in your own skin.

As a Personal Shopper, I am aware that choosing a swimsuit is not an easy task. But I'm sure with what I am going to tell you next, it will be much easier for you to find that perfect garment to shine under the sun.

4. Recycled materials:

In a world where it is increasingly important to protect and conserve the environment, you can be part of the change. Do you want to know how? Here I tell you everything.

At Leonisa we want to invite you to get to know and be part of two initiatives that we currently have with our bathing suits, where our intention is to give back a little bit to the planet through the recycling of sea and PET bottles.

Sea Networks:
There are more than 640,000 tons of abandoned fishing nets in the sea that endanger marine species.
Now these nets are recovered annually and transformed into clothing, such as our bathing suits.
For Leonisa it is super important to be an active part of this cause and we want you to do it too, because little Acts bring big changes.

Recycled PET bottles:
We also have another initiative that consists of reducing the impact generated by plastic bottles. In colombia It is contaminated annually with more than 4,000 million PET bottles that take more than 100 years to recycle.
We have a strategic ally that is in charge of collecting PET bottles, recycling them and converting them into fibers for that we can create some of our swimwear.

5. Mastectomy:

Every year, many women have to fight against breast cancer, undergoing surgical procedures such as mastectomy to save their lives.

At Leonisa we understand that for them, their bust and their body are an essential part of their femininity and of everything they are. like women. This is why, in co-creation with some survivors who suffered from this disease, we created some bathing suits with built-in prostheses that made them feel pretty and confident at all times.
Not only are they very practical and comfortable, but they also highlight the beauty of women at its best.

1. Bikinis:

These two-piece swimsuits are perfect for those women who love freedom and enjoy wearing her body on her summer days.

Depending on your tastes and needs, you can find bikinis with better coverage on the bust and buttocks, or bathing suits with less coverage to achieve that tan with which you dream so much.

If you are a woman with a larger bust, it is important that you choose bikinis with good support and coverage in the bust area and with wide straps to support its weight, feeling spectacular at all times!

I, for example, am a faithful user of this garment and when buying them I try that the upper parts and bottoms have different types of coverage and styles, so I can look different and not have clothes as Similar.

I always try to recommend having at least one bikini in your closet, since this can be used to Many occasions.

2. Trikinis:

As I told you before, the abdominal area can be a sensitive issue for many women. That is why many of them choose swimsuits that make them safe with a total coverage in the abdomen.

So what are these clothes like?
They are two-piece swimsuits, where the upper part is similar to a t-shirt, completely covering the waist and abdomen. In addition, they will help you feel more secure than ever with their wide straps and excellent coverage in the armhole, sides and back, thus being able to hide all the rolls.

In the lower part you can find conventional panties, or shorts that will give you extra coverage in the area of the buttocks and thighs. This is an incredibly comfortable option for example for mothers of small children, who must be all day depending on their children, running from one place to another; or also for more traditional women who enjoy the comfort at all times.

Who said a full bathing suit can't be sexy? This is a myth that many people have, thinking that a full bathing suit is old-fashioned, traditional and very boring. I want to tell you, that this is not for nothing TRUE!

In our brand, we want to think about all women and how they want to feel, so you will be able to find from wholes with high coverage, to be safe at all times, to garments with transparencies, necklines pronounced and very sexy details.

If you love being in the water doing some kind of exercise such as swimming, kite surfing, synchronized swimming, etc… You must ensure that your swimsuit makes you feel comfortable and safe at all times.

I don't know if this has ever happened to you, but there is nothing more uncomfortable than swimming in the pool and our bathing suit runs, loosens or even falls because it is not the most suitable for making movements in the Water.

It is important that when you choose a swimsuit to do some aquatic exercise, you opt for garments that have excellent coverage and cleavage support, with wide straps and that it is in one piece so that you are safe that everything will stay in its place.
