~ Mom Central received a Coastal Dog Malibu Bathing Suit to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
After a harsh New England winter and a chilly spring that only had a handful of days above 50 degrees, I’m finally cleaning out my closet to make room for my summer wardrobe. I packed the reminders of the cold weather and snow and made space for my sandals, shorts, and t-shirts.
While bringing out my warm weather clothes, I found my swimsuit. Instantly, I had flashbacks of last summer and the good times I had at the beach on Martha’s Vineyard with my friends. I haven’t worn my swimsuit since that trip last August. I began drooling just thinking about the hot sun and the cool waves crashing on the shore. I can’t wait to wear my bathing suit this summer and relax on the beach for a much-needed lazy summer afternoon.
Last year I received the Newport swimsuit on a behalf of a local Massachusetts company, Coastal Dog Apparel. Coastal Dog was founded in order to create comfortable and fashionable swimwear featuring an innovative ant-chafe lining. Made from a soft Nylon/Lycra blend, the inner liner feels like a pair of compression shorts and fits snuggly and firmly keeping you safe from embarrassing moments caused by huge waves. Not only do its swimsuits help you stay comfortable at the beach or in the water, they also make you feel great about your purchase with 100% of profits going to support charities that focus on helping children in need.
My Coastal Dog Newport swimsuit was my go-to suit last summer. I loved it! The lining was unbelievably comfortable and prevented any and all chafing, which I experienced with previous bathing suits. I always thought of a swimsuit as just being a swimsuit, until I discovered Coastal Dog Swimwear. I never knew that having a bathing suit like this could make my time spent at the beach more enjoyable. Coastal Dog was my summertime savior!
The Newport proved the envy of all my friends as well. After long days spent at the beach, they would all be uncomfortable and complaining about rashes caused by the sand. But I was comfortable and loving life! When they all wanted to leave because their inner thighs were basically raw from the chafing they experienced, meanwhile, I was ready to stay for a few more hours!
New for this summer, Coastal Dog has released its Malibu Collection of swimsuits. Available in both blue and orange, the Malibu Collection features an all over hibiscus print with a white accent. I am a huge fan of this print as it encapsulates the overall essence of summertime. Wearing a swimsuit with a tropical floral design has become just as much an American tradition as baseball and apple pie. I plan on rocking my new Coastal Dog Malibu suit on Cape Cod this upcoming weekend!
