Why Indian Women Deserve Better Swimwear (And How We’re Making It Happen)

For years, swimwear in India has been an afterthought—either imported styles that don’t fit right or uninspired designs that fail to cater to real Indian body types. The struggle to find a swimsuit that offers both confidence and comfort is real. But at Lost Ape, we’re here to shake things up.

The Swimwear Struggle: One Size Does NOT Fit All

Most swimwear available in the Indian market follows Western sizing standards, which don’t account for the diverse body shapes found in India. From curvier hips to shorter torsos, fuller busts, or petite frames, Indian women have unique proportions that off-the-rack, generic fits just don’t complement.

Adding to the challenge, mainstream brands often push a one-size-fits-all approach that leads to frustrating fitting-room experiences. Swimsuits that dig into the skin, fail to provide adequate bust support, or ride up in all the wrong places are far too common. And let’s not even get started on the lack of styles that offer modesty without looking frumpy.

The Cultural Stigma Around Swimwear

Beyond just the fit, India has long had a complicated relationship with swimwear. While beach vacations and poolside getaways are becoming more common, many women still struggle with the societal pressure of wearing swimsuits confidently. Standard swimwear brands do little to address this—offering either overtly revealing options or uninspired, conservative alternatives.

Common Customer Complaints About Swimwear in India

1. Poor Fit and Sizing Issues

Many women struggle to find swimwear that fits properly. Common complaints include:

• Too tight or too loose – Standard sizes fail to account for different body proportions.
• Lack of bust support – Many swimsuits don’t have adequate support, making them impractical for movement.
• High-cut or low-coverage bottoms – Women often feel uncomfortable with styles that don’t suit their preferences.

2. Lack of Variety in Styles

Brands often limit their collections to a few generic designs, making it hard for customers to find:

• Trendy yet comfortable swimsuits – Many want a mix of style and practicality.
• Options for different coverage preferences – Some prefer modest cuts, while others want more daring options.
• Versatile swimwear that can double as fashion pieces – Pieces that work both in and out of the water.

3. Subpar Swimwear Fabric and Durability

Low-quality swimwear fabrics tend to:

• Stretch out too quickly – Leading to sagging and loss of shape.
• Become transparent when wet – A major concern for women looking for practical yet stylish swimwear.
• Lose elasticity after a few washes – Making the swimsuit unusable too soon.

4. Affordability vs. Quality Dilemma

• Many budget swimwear brands offer cheap materials that don’t last.
• High-end international brands have expensive price tags with little customization for Indian body types.
• Customers often feel forced to choose between affordability and quality, with little middle ground.

How Lost Ape is Leading the Swimwear Revolution

1. Designed for Indian Body Types

We don’t believe in “universal sizing.” Every piece we design is tailored to fit the unique curves and proportions of Indian women. Our customized size charts ensure that whether you have a pear shape, an hourglass figure, or an athletic build, there’s a Lost Ape suit that’s made for you.

2. No More Generic Fits—Only Non-Generic, Flattering Styles

Mainstream swimwear is either too loose in some areas or too tight in others. At Lost Ape, we experiment with different cutting techniques, adjustable straps, under-bust support, and waist-cinching designs to create pieces that actually fit and flatter.

3. Breaking the Modesty vs. Style Dilemma

You shouldn’t have to choose between looking stylish and feeling comfortable. Whether you want a high-waisted bikini that offers coverage without being boring or a cut-out one-piece that’s edgy yet supportive, Lost Ape strikes the perfect balance.

4. Encouraging Swimwear Confidence

We get it—wearing a swimsuit in India isn’t always easy. That’s why we design pieces that empower women to embrace their bodies, no matter their shape or size. Lost Ape isn’t just a swimwear brand; it’s a movement to make swimwear fun, liberating, and unapologetic.
