We were delighted when Grazia magazine reached out to Töastie Co-founder Kirstie Duke on the important subject of water safety and how to best to ensure your child has UV SPF protection throughout the day.
Töastie's iconic swimwear collections are design led, prioritising water safety alongside comfort, fit and style - which would always be a given.

"Why Bright colours?
Bright colours are not only super engaging and fun for kids; but a critical consideration for water safety. Where pale colours virtually disappear and dark colours can be mistaken for shadows, our vibrant, contemporary colour blocking design gives maximum visibility in the water. Being able to immediately spot your little one on land or water is a huge win!

Explain benefits of UV protection:
Our butter soft UV swimwear is specifically designed to cover key areas (shoulders, back, chest and arms) and provide an extra layer of protection against the sun's harmful rays. It is made with a special type of fabric that has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of SPF 50+, the recommended level of protection for children as their sensitive skin is more susceptible to sunburn.

UV protection built into their swimwear saves time and stress wrangling with kids for constant sunscreen applications; pop them into their Töastie swimwear knowing the areas covered are completely protected.
It's also worth noting that even the most innocent looking sunscreens often contain toxins harmful to both children and when it washes off into the water, damages our marine life. Carbon neutral and made from recycled plastics, our swimwear is designed to protect our planet in unison with protecting your little one.
