A SIMPLE GUIDE TO BUYING SWIMWEAR ONLINE
Coming up with a game plan before you embark on your online swimsuit adventure is worth it. Here are a few tips to help you on your journey:
Consider your existing bikini draw and to an extent your undie draw (Yep! Your underwear draw). Make a note of what you do and don’t want from your next purchase by trying on a few of your current styles, undies included.
What do you want from your swimwear? Just like in your underwear draw, there are different styles for different activities. Think about what you want to do in your swimwear. Are you active, lounging or a mixture of both? A string bikini will be good for lounging but not so much if you’re hitting the surf.

How to care for your swimwear in three simple steps
ANDAVI SWIM, SUSTAINABILITY & THE SLOW FASHION MOVEMENT
Before we launched Andavi Swim, we made sure our environmental priorities were in check. Choosing eco-friendly sustainable fabrics and working with ethical manufacturers to produce sustainable, quality long lasting swimwear was number one on the list. We put a lot of effort into researching sustainable swimwear fabrics and building relationships with ethical and sustainable manufacturers. The quality of the fabrics we use is second to none. We use Carvico Vita recycled Italian fabric, as we grow we will incorporate fabric made with REPREVE®.
PAYMENT OPTIONS AND EXPRESS CHECKOUT
It recently occurred to me that you may not know how amazing our online checkout process is. Nobody wants to fill in a million fields when on an online shopping spree in your lunch break, only to find at the end of it you’re asked to ‘create an account’, Ahhh! A person can only have so many passwords, right? I personally find the 'create an account' thing annoying when online shopping. I am a procrastinator, so when I decide to buy, I want to buy it now, before my procrastination instinct kicks in! So naturally, it was a top priority for us to make our website as customer friendly as possible, with fast and efficient checkout features.
We offer an express checkout option with Paypal, Shop Pay and Google Pay making it even faster and easier to checkout on our website. If you don’t want to express checkout, our normal checkout process is still very similar and quick and simple to navigate.
Here is a list of our accepted payment options
The Andavi Swim Adventure - How we started Andavi Swim
Sunburn! Yes, sunburn is how the Andavi Swim adventure started. I have fair sensitive skin and became sick and tired of getting burnt in all weird and wonderful places (mostly in places where I missed applying sunscreen), we have all been there! I also found that sunscreen washes off soon after swimming. Bathing in UPF50+ sunscreen every two hours or so when you are in the middle of a sun-drenched adventure just isn’t right! I don’t know about you, but lathering up all over in sunscreen makes me hotter and I sweat more (Sorry, too much info?). For me, the solution is to combine UPF50+ sunscreen with physical UPF50+ sun protection clothing.
