Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Boca Compression Tankini good for surfing and other active water sports?
Yes. The Boca Compression Tankini is built for action with three performance-driven features: its compression fabric (made by transforming plastic bottles into performance wear) gives reliable hold and shape under movement, the racerback plus high-support construction keeps straps secure during paddling or waves, and the UPF 50+ sun protection shields skin during long beach days. It also offers removable pads and full coverage so you feel confident whether you’re catching a wave or supervising the kids at the shore. Ideal for active women who want a stylish, supportive suit that moves with them. If you prefer minimal coverage or strapless styles for tanning, this high-neck, athletic cut may not be your vibe.
How does the Boca Compression Tankini fit — should I size up or down?
Generally it fits true to size, leaning snug because the compression fabric is designed to hold and sculpt. The compression material provides firm support and a sleek silhouette, the racerback keeps the suit stable during activity, and versions labeled D/DD are cut to accommodate fuller cups without sacrificing support. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or are between sizes, consider sizing up; if you want maximum shaping and support, stick with your usual size. This is a great fit for women who want secure, flattering coverage for swim and surf. If you favor very loose or drapey swimwear, the Boca’s compression performance won’t match that look.
What makes the Boca Compression Tankini sustainable and durable?
The Boca Tankini combines sustainable sourcing with long-lasting performance. Its compression fabric is made by converting plastic bottles into high-performance swim textile, delivering stretch and recovery so the suit keeps its shape season after season. Carve Designs makes its line from recycled, upcycled, or organic materials and avoids toxic chemicals in production, which supports cleaner manufacturing and gentler wear. The construction — high support, racerback, and reinforced straps — also reduces sag and wear during active use. This suit is ideal for shoppers who value stylish, sustainable swim that stands up to frequent use. If sustainability is your only priority, you may still want to check specific fabric certifications, but this is a durable, lower-impact choice compared with conventional swim fabrics.
Sustainability Isn't A Feature - It's Our Foundation
When Carve Designs began in 2003, we didn't add sustainability to our checklist - we made it our core vision. That hasn't changed.
