At Bon+Co we like to give our customers options. This is why we have decided to include removeable padding in our girl’s swimwear range. We want our Bon+Co girl and her parents to feel confident to make the choice for themselves about whether the option of removeable pads is right for her.

What are Removeable Pads and why are they included?
Removeable Swimwear Pads are small discs of foam inserted between two layers of fabric. The swimsuit usually has a small opening on the side, near the armpit, to allow the pads to easily be removed if the customer wishes to do so. The pads come in varying thicknesses and can be included in a swimsuit design for 2 main reasons.
- Sometimes after a swim, things can get, well, shall we say a little bit “nippy”. A removeable Pad can disguise what is actually going on underneath your togs, and consequently know-one else at the beach or pool is none the wiser, and it can be a lot less embarrassing! At Bon+Co we like to offer removeable pads in our girls styles to provide this level of modesty.
- Another reason to include Removeable Pads in a swimwear design is to give a fuller bust appearance, and through the use of extra padding and sometimes even gel, you can provide that little extra “boost”. This is not really what are all about at Bon+Co, but if that is something your after, then please let us know at Bon+Co HQ and we can suggest the best style options for you.
Should I Keep the Removeable Pads?
Ultimately the choice of keeping or ditching your swimwear pads is something only you can make. If you feel a little unsure about your changing body and want to disguise things a little more, then maybe it is a good choice for you to keep the pads. The Bon+Co pads are discreet enough to provide a smooth finish without making the bust appear fuller than it really is.
However if you, or your parents, feel that it’s just not the right option then that also is totally fine and we support you in this choice. All you need to do is simply pull the pads out and store them away safely in case you wish to re-use them again down the track.
There is no Right or Wrong
At Bon+Co, our swimwear offers removeable pads in most swimwear styles in sizes 12-16 only. The pads are easy to slip out if you feel they are not for you, and equally as easy to pop back in down the track if you change your mind. It’s all about having the option, and only you and your parents can make the right choice for you.
