Bodysuits are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples around. Whether you’re dressing up or dressing down, bodysuits are the perfect outfit base for nearly every occasion. From jeans to tailored trousers, midi-skirts to jorts, there are infinite bodysuit styling opportunities – you really could wear a bodysuit everyday if you wanted to.


“But why would I want to wear a bodysuit every day?! They’re so uncomfortable!”


We hear you, and we get it. We too have had days ruined by uncomfortable bodysuits that dig in in all the wrong places.


But we have good news for you; it doesn’t have to be this way!


Not all bodysuits were made equal. It’s possible to find bodysuits that are actually comfortable, so you can experience all of the benefits of versatile styling with none of the pain.


If you've ever had your day ruined by a bodysuit that digs in in all the wrong places , then it time to break up with your uncomfortable bodysuits once and for all. Here are three signs that suggest it’s time to upgrade to a better option:

1. You can't wear your bodysuits all day without noticing how uncomfortable you are!

We've all been there – you start your day feeling fabulous in your sleek bodysuit, but as the hours tick by, you become increasingly agitated at just how uncomfortable you are.


There are a number of reasons why women’s bodysuits can feel so uncomfortable, but the main culprits are often the:

Digging in:

Bodysuits aren’t often designed with comfort in mind, meaning they dig in in all the wrong places. Too often, they aren’t long enough in the torso meaning you’re left with the fabric pulling down on your shoulders and digging in around the gusset area – can you think of a more uncomfortable combination? We’ll wait.

Synthetic fabrics:

While they may look smooth, synthetic materials can cause irritation especially when worn all day long. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester and nylon are notoriously unbreathable, leaving you hot and sweaty and wondering: “do I smell?!”

Thin gussets and sharp poppers :

The gusset area takes the cake for making bodysuits so notoriously uncomfortable. They’re often too thin and too tight, providing low coverage and a painful fit. If you’ve ever unpoppered your bodysuit half way throught the day, tucked it in like a t-shirt and embraced the excess fabric moving around in your trousers, you definitely aren’t the only one.

2. You're not sure what to wear underneath your bodysuits as they're so sheer.

Bodysuits are meant to create a smooth, seamless look , so when they're so sheer that you're left wondering what to wear underneath, they're definitely not doing their job.


If you're constantly struggling with sheerness, it's time to look for alternatives that offer better opacity and support. A high quality cotton bodysuit can provide enough coverage to be worn comfortably on its own without the need for additional layers, or even a bra underneath.

3. You find your bodysuit makes you sweat – and even worse, smell!

There's nothing worse than feeling fresh in the morning, only to realise by lunchtime that your bodysuit has turned you into a sweaty, smelly mess. This uncomfortable and (sometimes) embarrassing situation is often caused by:


- Poor breathability in the fabric

- Tight fit that doesn't allow for air circulation

- Materials that trap odours rather than wicking them away


If you're experiencing these issues, it's not just uncomfortable – it's a sign that your bodysuit is working against you, not for you. Synthetic fabrics and poor quality designs will do this to you and you deserve better.


Women’s bodysuits made from cotton offer natural breathability and sweat-wicking properties that make wearing them a breeze (no pun intended!). When you’re out and about all day, the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not you smell. Choosing a bodysuit from natural materials like organic cotton will offer you that reassurance.

3 Signs It

Is it possible to find bodysuits that are actually comfortable?

In short, yes! It's absolutely possible to find bodysuits that are comfortable .


The key is knowing what to look for when shopping for your next bodysuit, especially when buying online. Here are some tips:


- Read the reviews: Other customers' experiences can provide valuable insights into comfort and fit. Reviews are extremely helpful in this case.


- Opt for soft fabrics with stretch: Look for materials that move with your body rather than restricting it. AKA Organic Cotton! It feels soft against the skin and won’t irritate you in the same way that synthetic fabrics do.


- Check the construction: pay attention to the features of the bodysuit you’re buying. A double-lined fabric, for example, can go a long way to ensuring the bodysuit won’t be sheer.


We designed our famously comfortable bodysuits with comfort in mind, tackling the horrors of all-day digging in, unwanted sheerness, and lack of support. Our double-lined organic cotton provides extra coverage and comfort, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable all day long. 

What bodysuit fabrics are best?

If you've ever worn a highly synthetic bodysuit, you may have noticed it made you sweat more than normal – and even worse, made you smell! You're not alone; this is a common side effect of synthetic fabrics such as nylon and polyester, that offer no breathability.


When shopping for bodysuits, be mindful of fabrics and opt for something more natural and breathable. Here's why:


- Natural fibres allow your skin to breathe, reducing sweat and odour.

- Organic cotton is soft, durable, and gets more comfortable with each wash.

- Breathable fabrics help regulate your body temperature throughout the day and are often sweat-wicking, meaning they can be worn all year round too.


By choosing bodysuits made from natural, breathable materials, you're not just investing in comfort – you're also making a choice that's better for your skin.
