Many of us know that the menstrual cycle is a part of life, but it shouldn't stop us from enjoying the pool or the beach. As a former NCAA Division I swimmer, I vividly remember the anxiety of my period arriving right before a championship meet. The fear of leaks and the discomfort of traditional products were constant worries that held me back. That experience is exactly why I'm so passionate about the innovation at Beautikini.
In this guide, we'll dive into the Beautikini collection of period swimwear, examining performance, comfort, style, and value. Whether you're a teen athlete, a style-conscious beachgoer, or just looking for a reliable solution, I'll help you select the right Beautikini that empowers you to swim freely, any day of the month. According to studies from institutions like Monash University, swimming on your period is not only safe but can be beneficial, and the right gear makes all the difference.

Best for Teens: Beautikini One Piece Period Swimwear For Teens Girls
Beautikini's swimwear is a favorite among teenagers because it comes in fun colors like purple and orange patterns (in addition to basic black), and it features a sporty criss-cross pattern on the back that I personally love for its secure feel during activity. Besides the cute colors and styles (including another with contrasting colors), the swimwear is made from thick, durable fabric.
Wearing swimwear with thick and durable fabric helps teenagers feel secure when they're active in the pool or at the beach. Plus, the forgiving fit is suitable for a variety of body types, including those going through puberty and experiencing rapid changes.
Despite the thickness of the fabric, it feels quite stretchy, soft, and comfortable. The criss-cross design on the back ensures a secure fit for most users, making it great for beach volleyball or water sports, providing full and supportive coverage.

Best Unique Style: Beautikini Mid Waist Swim Skirt Period Swimwear
Beautikini swim bottoms with a skirt overlay offer generous coverage and a touch of feminine style. They feature the same reliable leakproof and fast-drying gusset as our other models, along with a full skirt bottom for added confidence. The fit is exceptionally comfortable, and while it's available in versatile black, this allows you to match it with any swim top of your choice. What's even better? It's incredibly easy to maintain – simply toss it in the washing machine, and it's good to go.
Rave Review: "I purchased these for my 13 year old. We went camping where there was a pool and she wore them to swim all weekend. She didn’t leak at all and was very comfortable wearing them. She wore them about 1.5 hours at a time and had no leaks. Very glad I got them for her."

Best for Mixing & Matching: Beautikini Medium High Waisted Period Swimwear Bottoms
Beautikini offers some affordable and wonderfully versatile bottoms suitable for various body types and sizes. These styles feature our innovative gusset with bamboo and charcoal-infused layers. From my textile engineering perspective, these natural materials are fantastic choices for their moisture-wicking, antibacterial, odor-reducing, and breathable properties.
These bottoms can hold up to three tampons' worth of liquid, but if you have a heavy flow, it's always wise to consider using them as a backup with a tampon or a cup for extra peace of mind. To ensure a perfect fit, we also offer low-waisted and high-waisted styles of the same design. Don't want to put too much thought into mixing and matching? Grab one of our pre-styled two-piece sets!
Rave Review: "I got a swimwear bottom and I love it! The black color is classy and goes with everything. It fits nicely and feels comfy. Great for swimming or just hanging out by the pool. Super happy with it!"

Best for Security: Beautikini High Waisted Period Swimwear Bottoms
Beyond concerns about leaks, you certainly wouldn't want a bikini bottom that constantly rides up or rolls down. Beautikini's high-waisted period swimwear briefs address these issues effectively, ensuring reliable protection and a secure, stay-put fit. These briefs are ideal for swimming laps in the pool or taking on the waves while surfing—I've tested them myself! Crafted from thick, supportive, and smooth fabric, they offer a comfortable and secure feel. The waistband provides a flattering level of compression without ever feeling constricting.
Rave Review: "I loved that the product came early and did hold up to my teenager swimming for 4 hours without any leakage... They are a higher wasted which is excellent but they are cut up quite high and very cheeky. She was able to wear her normal swim bottoms over these..."

Explore All Period SwimwearThe guide above features some of my top picks from the Beautikini leak proof swimwear collection for 2025. My mission is to ensure no one has to sit on the sidelines. Remember, confidence is the best outfit—and having gear that truly performs is the first step. The best choice is always the one that makes you feel comfortable, secure, and ready to take on the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How can I make my period swimwear last longer?
To ensure your Beautikini period swimwear lasts, rinse it in cold water after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Hand wash or use a delicate cycle with mild detergent; avoid hot water and bleach. Gently squeeze out excess water instead of wringing, and lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Finally, avoid sitting on rough surfaces to prevent fabric damage.
Q2: Can I really swim on my period with Beautikini swimwear without leaking?
Absolutely. Beautikini period swimwear is engineered with a multi-layered, leak-proof gusset that absorbs menstrual flow, equivalent to about three tampons. This technology allows you to swim with confidence, even without using other period products on lighter days. For very heavy flow, you might consider it as a reliable backup.
Q3: Is period swimwear bulky or obvious?
Not at all. One of my primary goals as Head of Style & Innovation is to ensure our gear performs without compromising aesthetics. Beautikini period swimwear looks and feels just like a high-quality, regular swimsuit. The absorbent technology is integrated seamlessly and discreetly, so no one will know the difference.
Q4: Do I need to wear a tampon or cup with my period swimwear?
For light to medium flow days, Beautikini swimwear can be worn on its own, as it holds up to three tampons' worth of fluid. On your heaviest flow days, you might feel more secure using it as a backup to a tampon or menstrual cup to prevent any possibility of leaks and give you extra peace of mind. It's about finding what feels most comfortable for you. In discussions about tampon alternatives, it's good to be aware of rare risks like TSS, which is why having external options like period swimwear is so empowering. For more information on this topic, you can consult reliable sources like government health departments.
Q5: Is it safe and healthy to swim on my period?
Yes, it is perfectly safe to swim during your period. In fact, gentle exercise like swimming can be beneficial. According to health authorities like the Mayo Clinic, physical activity can help alleviate menstrual cramps and improve your mood. Using a reliable product like period swimwear ensures you can enjoy these benefits hygienically and without worry.
