Needless to say we both had a great time, I was able to get some exercise by moving around in the water and my son was able to start learning the very important first baby steps of learning to swim.<BR/><BR/>The Burqini is available to buy from<BR/>modestswimsuits.co.uk<BR/><BR/>Shipping worldwide.<BR/><BR/>I cannot recommend this highly enough.Posmena Saleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224336072403288403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12634736.post-32844760806779412492007-06-23T08:48:00.000-06:002007-06-23T08:48:00.000-06:00Salam Sister,I think I have got to save your entry...Salam Sister,<BR/>I think I have got to save your entry as a favourite. i've been looking for a modest swimsuit for ages (and I'm supposed to be from a Muslim country). However, the comments your readers left are incredibly helpful and insha'Allah i would love to get myself a suit. i love to swim and i haven't done that in a while. <BR/>however, as for your question if i would ever wear it. Sure! when i'm really doing laps and working on those abs - preferably with not too many men around. <BR/><BR/>but if it were a family retreat and i would have to wade into the baby pool with my daughter... NAH... i'd leave that to my husband or my brother. i think i would look funny.<BR/><BR/>how's that for perception?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905407681235372194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12634736.post-29865433583855100212007-06-21T08:26:00.000-06:002007-06-21T08:26:00.000-06:00I have a splashgear outfit that I really love - ht...I have a splashgear outfit that I really love - https://splas004.secure.omnis.com/store/index.php<BR/><BR/>I got the pants with the skirt, an island shirt and the hoodie scarf. I have a few complaints, but overall, I've found it excellent, and can swim laps in it with little problem.<BR/><BR/>My complaints are that the sleeves twist a bit, and the silver color hoodie scarf I got makes me look like a knight, lol. the silver color also fades with chlorine, but then again, everything fades with chlorine.<BR/><BR/>The shirt does stick when yo ugeto ut of the water, but if you tug the bottom out, it immediately unsticks and hangs modestly.UmmSqueaksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289001302124742991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12634736.post-60595676229799406462007-06-20T18:59:00.000-06:002007-06-20T18:59:00.000-06:00Salams. I bought the Ahiida modest fit swimsuit - ...Salams. I bought the Ahiida modest fit swimsuit - aka the burqini - last summer. i researched the others and people were saying they don't work well. I wasn't satisfied with the pants/long shirt option because they stick A LOT and i tried wearing a polyester abaya but that was too hard to swim in. The burqini took a long time to ship and when i got it it was almost the end of summer. So this summer will be my real first trials with it. It was so expensive too. i got the largest size - XL, though i usually wear M/L. The pants are loose and the shirt is very long and loose. It's almost like you're wearing the pakistani sharwarkamis outfits. I got the navy blue which makes me feel more modest as well. The bust, neck, and head area are close fitting so i wear my usual square scarf on top. That is also helpful for when i come out of the water because there are like 5 seconds when you first come out of the water that the material sticks to your bust area. You need to have someone hand you a towel right away as you come out. After those few seconds the water has dripped down and the material is almost dry and puffs back up. it is very waterproof. Having said that, i am still not comfortable swimming if there are men in or around the pool because pools are small and i don't like to be so close to men. So i try to go in a time when there's no one at the pool (we have one in our complex). The beach i don't care because i can find a far off spot and go in the late afternoon after most people have gone.Islamic Notebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628167850141187718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12634736.post-18368548498930271202007-06-20T16:32:00.000-06:002007-06-20T16:32:00.000-06:00Assalaamu alaikom, I saw a young teen sister weari...Assalaamu alaikom, <BR/>I saw a young teen sister wearing one of these while at a women's only swim session. Hers reminded me of those windbreaker suits. I dread the thought of wearing one of these, but honestly I would like to get into the water with my family too. I think I'd try for some spandex pants and a long shirt. These suits get pretty costly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
