So why use one? The original stinger swimsuit was produced to make available protection against jellyfish stings, for this reason the name ‘stinger suit’ was given. But, with the unearthing of the sun UV radiation effect on skin and the harm it can cause, these suits became the corner stone for the movement to teach people about the hazards of sun bathing and how to guard the skin by using sunscreen and wearing sun protection clothing. These swimsuits not only offer protection against jellyfish stingers and sea lice, it can also guard against the sun damaging UVA and UVB radiation which eventually causes skin cancer. Stingers suits fit like the wearers second-skin; they are comfy to wear, fashionable and are used by top surfers internationally for use in extreme sports due to its toughness and capability to endure sea waters and harsh environment.

The innovative generation of full body stinger swimsuits can be used with corresponding sun protection hood, UV gloves and socks for complete skin cover-up; they use scientifically advanced fabric made in particular for utilizing in extreme environment circumstances, not only for prolonging fabric life and functions, but to make sure the skin is very well protected aligned with the sun UV radiation which causes skin cancer, and guard from under water animal stings which causes brutal discomfort and poisoning in extreme cases.

According to a survey conducted by Debenhams, more than half of the respondents say that they can take their tops off when they are on a foreign holiday. However, it was a different way around whenever they are in one of their UK holidays.

The major reason why they won’t do it in their home turf is the fear that they might be recognized by someone that they know.

About a third of the one thousand respondents surveyed by the retail giant said that they feel comfortable going topless abroad because most foreign men are used to these scenario.

A representative for Debenhams said that based on their local sales, British beaches are bound to look like a set in the fifties with women wearing conservative swimwear.
