Swimwear Lining & Cup Construction

Lining and cups decide wet opacity, comfort and wash behaviour. Write the map before proto — then sample on AquaForm™ with hardware colourfast gates.

Bikini lining and cup construction is a wet-performance brief: opacity, comfort, wash and hardware colourfast — not only dry hang photos.

Lining and cup options buyers actually brief

Money-page searches stay on Bikini Manufacturer and One-Piece Swimsuit Manufacturer. This URL owns the construction intent they share.

  • Lining — full, partial, or power-mesh zones. Fashion face vs lining GSM written separately so opacity and chlorine stories do not fight.
  • Cups / pads — removable, fixed, or pad-free. Pocket opening and wash shift confirmed on the sample — the same discipline as sports bras, in a wet fabric.
  • One-piece extras — shelf bra, plunge stay, and cut-out edge tape. Do not assume a bikini cup map will hold a plunge one-piece.
  • Hardware — rings, sliders and charms must pass colourfast with AquaForm™ 220, not only dry hang photos.
