Best 10 Bikini That Lets The Sun Shine Through

Shielding your skin from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays is essential throughout the entire year. This involves choosing the right bikini, applying sunscreen to all exposed areas, and staying in the shade during peak sunlight hours.

Have you ever considered what sets a standard bikini apart from one marketed with a UPF, or Ultraviolet Protection Factor? Additionally, do you know how UPF differs from SPF, the rating commonly found on sunscreen and skincare products?

To address these questions and five more, we consulted dermatologist Valencia Thomas, M.D., director of MD Anderson’s Mohs Center. Here is the insight she provided.

Can UV rays go through bikinis?

A typical bikini crafted from dark, elastic fabric has a UPF rating of 8.6 when dry, whereas a white or light-colored bikini offers approximately UPF 4 when wet. Generally, bikinis have a UPF around 5, allowing about 20% of ultraviolet rays to penetrate and reach your skin.

Is there a bikini that lets the sun shine through?

At Qikini, explore our exclusive tan-through bikinis designed with cutting-edge technology that lets tanning UV-A rays pass through the fabric, delivering a natural tan-through experience. Made from lightweight, elegant, stretchy, and breathable techno-fabric, these swimwear pieces transcend typical beachwear to represent a lifestyle choice.

How does bikini made specifically to protect skin from UV light differ from regular bikini? 

The uniqueness of these fabrics lies in their composition, the density of their weave, and occasionally their treatment methods. Some are woven extremely tightly to prevent sun exposure, while others are treated or dyed with special chemical agents like zinc oxide, effectively providing the fabric with inherent sun-protective properties.

Coatings applied to fabrics may diminish with time, leading to color fading or increased stretchiness after washing. These changes can indicate a reduction in UPF protection, signaling that the garment may need to be replaced.

Refer to the label on each garment or consult the manufacturer’s website for specific information. Certain items are engineered to maintain their UPF protection through 100 to 500 washes, while some brands assert that their UV protection remains effective indefinitely.

Doesn’t regular bikini protect us against UV light?

The UPF rating of your bikini is influenced by the fabric type, its color, and whether the material is dry or wet. Fabrics that are dry, tightly woven, and dark in color provide the highest level of protection.

However, the more a fabric stretches, the lower its protective capability becomes, particularly when fully extended. For example, dry, dark biking shorts may have a UPF of around 85 initially, but this decreases to UPF 8 when worn and stretches further, dropping to UPF 4 if the fabric becomes wet.

A standard swimsuit made from dark, elastic fabric typically has a UPF rating of 8.6 when dry, whereas a white or light-colored swimsuit offers approximately UPF 4 when wet. Generally, most bikinis provide around UPF 5, allowing about 20% of ultraviolet rays to penetrate and reach your skin.

What bikinis are best for tanning?

For a more uniform tan, bikinis with minimal coverage are ideal. Swimwear featuring lower-cut or minimalist designs exposes more skin to sunlight, helping to minimize visible tan lines.
