It depends on how you spend your time at the sea! Choosing the right swimsuit for each scene
Even among "swimsuits," the right design and functionality vary greatly depending on your purpose and the scene.
Here, we introduce key points for finding your ideal swimsuit across three typical scenes.
For vacations with friends: "trendy and eye-catching"
On vacation with close friends, we recommend choosing with photogenic looks and design in mind. Vivid colors and bold patterns that lift your mood will make your time by the sea even more fun.
With family and kids: "ease of movement and peace of mind"
When heading to the sea with children, the key is ease of movement and the reassurance of less exposed skin. Since you'll be moving a lot, carrying kids or playing in the sand, one-piece or two-piece swimsuits are comfortable.
For active types: "functionality and fit"
If you want to enjoy active pursuits like snorkeling and skin diving, we recommend wetsuit-style swimwear that fits your body snugly. Besides ease of movement, stability and comfort in the water are also important criteria.
Comfort makes the difference! Choosing skin-friendly, high-performance swimwear
A day at the sea puts more strain on your skin and body than you might imagine. Precisely because it's a demanding environment, paying attention to the material and functionality of your swimwear is the first step to a comfortable day.
Absorbent, quick-drying materials keep you comfortable after you leave the water
Have you ever felt the discomfort of a swimsuit that won't dry and clings to your skin after getting out of the sea? Materials with excellent quick-drying properties and breathability solve that problem.
UMMY swimwear uses lightweight fabric that sheds water well, so it dries quickly even when wet and helps prevent your body temperature from dropping. It also feels less sticky, staying comfortable even when worn for long periods.
Superb feel and fit
If you value gentleness on your skin, we want you to experience UMMY's "CANDY series." The lining uses "Nestle Jersey," which offers about 40% more stretch than ordinary jersey materials. Its appeal lies in a soft, enveloping feel and a fit that clings to your skin. Because it follows your body's movements naturally, you barely feel tightness or friction, and there's no stress even when worn for long hours. Lightness and a superb feel that make you "forget you're wearing it." Once you put it on, you're sure to feel the difference.
Long Spring and jackets: freedom of movement with peace of mind
For more active scenes such as marine activities and skin diving, a "Long Spring" or a wetsuit jacket is ideal.
The Long Spring is designed to wrap your whole body while allowing a wide range of motion in the shoulders and arms, keeping water resistance to a minimum. The jacket, on the other hand, is for those who mainly want to protect the upper body. It can be worn lightly, like a rash guard, and is handy between seasons or in cooler water.
No fitting room, no worries! Tips for getting your size right online
When buying online, "choosing the right size" is what worries most people. Especially for close-fitting items like wetsuits and Long Springs, even a slight difference in size greatly affects comfort and performance.
Measurement checklist for getting it right
When measuring at home, please refer to the points below. The trick is to use a mirror to check that the tape measure is level, and measure without letting it get too loose.
Basic measurements
- Height: Measure accurately while standing straight.
- Weight: If there have been recent changes, such as being lighter or heavier than usual, make a note of it.
Upper body
- Shoulder width: From the cervical point (the center of the bone that protrudes when you bend your neck forward) to the tip of each shoulder.
- Chest: With arms relaxed at your sides, measure horizontally at nipple height.
- Waist: Measure the narrowest part, slightly above the navel.
- Lower abdomen: Around the fullest part, slightly below the navel.
- Upper bust / underbust (women only): Measure horizontally along each line, using your bra position as a guide.
Lower body
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your buttocks.
- Thigh: With legs slightly apart, measure around the thickest part at the top of the thigh.
- Inseam: From the center of the crotch to the center of the inner ankle bone, with the leg straight.
Areas where a snug fit matters
- Neck: Just below the Adam's apple, around the narrowest part, fairly snugly.
- Wrist: Measure horizontally around the narrowest part.
- Ankle: Just above the inner ankle bone, with a light fit.
Posture-related
- Total length: From the cervical point to the inner ankle bone, with your back straight.
- Back length: Sitting up straight on a chair, the length from the cervical point to the seat.
Tips for accurate measurements
- Measure in a natural posture, with the tape neither loose nor too tight.
- Measuring with two people rather than one reduces errors and gives more accurate values.
- Record all measurements in centimeters (cm).
- Keep notes or photos of any areas of concern to make consulting our staff smoother.
Taking the time to measure your body carefully is the first step to enjoying the sea in comfort. With "a suit that fits you perfectly," born from accurate measurements, feel the sea more freely and pleasantly.
