At Nip Tuck Swim nearly all of our swimsuits have adjustable straps. What are adjustable straps? Adjustable straps are over the shoulder straps that are long enough to fit varying different body height and size measurements. With the use of a slider, which is a strong plastic figure eight shape accessory that you will see on our shoulder straps. You will see these adjustable straps on all your lingerie bras as well. The shoulder strap is threaded through the figure eight accessory slider and through a ring (generally on the back of the women’s swimsuit) by sliding the strap, the wearer is able to adjust the strap to be the perfect length for her body. As all of our body heights and body dimensions are different.

The slider on the adjustable strap is strong enough that when the wearer has determined the length of the strap the slider will hold the strap at that length.

Over time, and the more a swimsuit is worn, you can keep tightening the adjustable slider so that your swimsuit continues to fit comfortably on your shoulders.

We offer a large range of styles designed for many different cup size. Our styles that have an underwire are usually more suited to some cup sizes more than others. The difference between your fullest bust measurement and your underbust measurement determines your cup size. You can find your cup size by looking at our size chart or by looking at your bra cup size.

At Nip Tuck Swim we specialize in beautiful, foiled swimsuit prints to add a glamorous look to our classic easy fit women’s swimsuit styles. Foil printing is a specialty fabric printing process which uses metallic paper (the foil color), heat and pressure. We add our foil metallic artwork as part of our design, you can see foil as it is a metallic color and will shine in the sun. We always launch new luxurious foil prints into our new collections every season. We know you love our classic and timeless foil prints like Nautical foil, Moroccan foil, Ahoy foil and all our other much loved classic foil prints and these prints will continue to feature in our ranges.

Multifit Cup is just another way of saying this swimsuit will fit and suit a large range of cup sizes.

Unlike bras where you are restricted to buying your exact size or the bra does not fit you properly. You have a lot more options when it comes to women’s swimsuits that are designed to be multifit. Multifit women’s swimsuit styles tend not to have underwires so they are designed with other technical support measures. At Nip Tuck Swim we have a few different shape versions of our multifit cups but the technology behind each of them is the same. We use different forms of multifit cups depending on the swimsuit shape, some of our women’s swimsuit styles have fixed moulded cups others have removable cups whilst other styles again have a supportive shelf bra.

When designing our Multifit women’s swimsuit styles, we develop technical ways to lift and support the bust without the use of an underwire. Our Nip Tuck Swim women’s swimsuits will fit a large range of bust sizes. Not having an underwire means you have room for a bigger bust or a smaller bust cup.

Most of our women’s tummy control swimwear uses fabric with 4 way stretch. This gives us freedom to design curvy swimsuits with a lot of give and the ability to mould and stretch to fit many different figure types. Our Nip Tuck Swim multifit swimwear cups are designed to fit and suit a large array of cup sizes. We say a Multifit Cup will fit best between a C cup and an E cup. They will not fit every bust the same way, but they will cover lift and support a multitude of different cups sizes. They are designed to stretch and mould around the bust to flatter and ensure everything stays in place when going for a swim. bust but also return to its original shape once taken off the body.

At Nip Tuck Swim we use ruching in the front panel of most of our Nip Tuck Swim women’s swimwear. The use of ruching on our women’s tummy control swimwear is to enhance the female figure. Ruching is the gathering of extra fabric in the outer fabrication of our swimwear. This ruching effect helps create a smoother look across the tummy and the mid-section, as it helps disguise any curves and is use as a shape enhancing feature. Ruching is the cherry on top for our body sculpting, figure forming swimwear. It is the ultimate figure slimming, tummy smoothing technique on our all our women’s bathers.

Ruching is on majority of our affordable designer swimsuits and is an extremely important element to keeping you feeling confident when in and around the water. The most common place on the garment we use ruching is across the tummy. However, we do use it on the side of our bikinis and some of our swimmer pants.

It may seem counter-intuitive to wear a swimsuit with extra gathered fabric across
the tummy, but tummy areas are flattered by ruching as it draws the eye toward the centre of the body and also has the effect of concealment behind the fabric. Everyone loves the disguising effects of ruching. Click through here to read more information on our blog on the benefits of a ruched swimsuit.

A shelf bra is basically a bra that’s been built into your swimsuit. It is there to provide you with hidden support at the bust area. It is designed as an extra layer of fabric at the upper body and has an elasticated edge that sits underneath your bust. It can be a front shelf, that is only at the front of your women’s swimsuit or it can be a full shelf that encircles your body and sits at the front and back of your swimsuit. Most of our shelf bras have moulded cups for modesty. These moulded cups are sometimes sewn into the shelf bra or are designed to be removable, so the cup can be taken out of the shelf bra.

At Nip Tuck Swim we work to create perfectly fitting women’s swimwear that make you feel comfortable, supported and glamourous. One of the essential key factors to our great fitting bathers is our tummy control women’s swimwear technology.

We offer a wide range of women’s swimwear styles with tummy control features for women who would like a bit of confidence, extra support and body sculpting effects.

Our figure flattering women’s swimwear styles are created by combining a multitude of design functions. Two of the main attributes for creating the best tummy control swimsuits are our powermesh and tummy ruching.

Our powermesh lining fabric can be found on the inside front of all our one pieces, tankini sets and bikini swim pants. The main purpose of using powermesh on our women’s swimwear is to increase the support of the swimsuit and give a smoothing and slimming effect to the curves of the body.

Nip Tuck Swim’s own special body contouring Powermesh will enhance your shape with soft body forming for Tummy Control and figure shaping technology.

The use of ruching on our Nip Tuck Swim modest swimwear is to enhance the female figure as every woman loves the disguising effects of our tummy ruching. We add ruching to the outer fabric of our women’s swimwear, around the middle of the body and sometimes through the side panels. The ruching effect helps create a smoother look across the tummy and will help disguise any curves.
