UV Bikini

By Evan Ackerman

Some people say I have a pasty white complexion. I prefer to call my skin ivory. But either way, I burn to a crisp whenever I set foot outside with less than SPF 56 sunblock and a trenchcoat. When it comes to going to the beach, Solestrom has me (partially) covered with their SmartSwim UV Intensity bikini. The bikini is adorned with little plastic UV sensitive beads that turn different shades of purple depending on how much cancer-inducing radiation they receive. If that’s not simple enough, Solestrom also sells a digital version in sexy silver. Not a fan of yellow? Me neither. Get the UV color changing beads separately here (among other places) and attach to the swimwear of your choice (although I can’t tell if the Solestrom beads are somehow special).

Unfortunately, according to my calculations, this bikini won’t fit me due to my bra size, which is a modest 38AA. I guess maybe it’s finally time to pony up for those implants I’ve always wanted.

  1. If it goes to the darkest purple, will it make a different to a girls state of mind if they are still white, girls these days will still stay out in the sun and the solarium until they become the colour that they want, the warnings are out there already saying UV gives you cancer, yet girls are still out in the sun everyday of summer killing themselves.

    Good idea though, I hope it does work and girls do start to take notice when they in the solarium or sun for too long.
