Tan-Through vs. Regular Swimwear: What’s the Real Difference?

Tan-Through vs. Regular Swimwear: What’s the Real Difference?

The key difference is sunlight permeability. Regular swimwear blocks UV rays entirely, so no tanning occurs underneath. Oluzu’s tan-through fabric allows controlled UV exposure while maintaining coverage. It’s also significantly more breathable, dries quicker, and feels cooler. If you enjoy tanning or hate tan lines, Oluzu offers a comfortable, sun-friendly alternative that still looks chic and performs like regular swimwear.

Understand the key differences between traditional swimwear and Oluzu’s tan-through designs.

  • Does regular swimwear block UV rays?
    Yes—most regular suits completely block UV, preventing any tanning underneath.

  • What makes tan-through fabric different?
    It allows partial sunlight penetration while still being breathable, lightweight, and stylish.

  • Which dries faster?
    Tan-through fabric dries up to 3x faster than regular lycra or nylon swimwear.

  • Is one more comfortable than the other?
    Yes—Oluzu’s fabric is soft, cool, and breathable, which is ideal for hot, humid days.
