State of the art

Currently, compressive swimwear is known to be superimposed on a swimsuit or bikini, such as wetsuits, however these types of clothing prevent tanning and hide the body. Swimwear is also known that are in itself semi-transparent to some degree, or that integrate semi-transparent parts.

For example, document GB2472845 is known which describes a swimsuit or bikini that allows sunlight to pass through it, allowing the tanning of the skin underneath, but preventing the parts of the body under that swimsuit or bikini from being seen. This product does not allow to show the parts of the body covered by said product at the same time that compression is applied and tanning is allowed. However, there are no known compressive swimwear that combine, in a separable way, transparent or semi-transparent garments in their entirety and compressive with non-transparent swimsuits or bikinis.

Therefore, being in use, the transparent or semi-transparent garment and the swimsuit or bikini will be superimposed in a separable manner.

In other words, the proposed compressive swimwear allows the superposition of a traditional swimsuit or bikini, that is to say non-transparent, with a transparent or semi-transparent garment such as the one described.

Both the transparent or semi-transparent garment can be superimposed on the swimsuit or bikini, said swimsuit or bikini being visible through the garment transparent or semi-transparent, as they can be placed in reverse order by superimposing the swimsuit or bikini on the transparent or semi-transparent garment.
