I am not a bikini bottom person. I have always found swim shorts to be more comfortable and more flattering. When I became pregnant I looked high and low for maternity swim shorts and was stunned that I could not find any. I made the decision that when I was past the 'new baby' stage with my daughter and had more than 2 minutes of free time per day, I would create and sell maternity swim shorts. When that time came, Mermaid Maternity was launched … with one product for sale. The swim shorts were a success, and since then many more maternity swimwear separates have been added – always with the same criteria in mind: comfortable, flattering, functional, and unique. Our mission is to give moms-to-be more OPTIONS in what they can wear at the beach or pool so that they will feel confident and comfortable in their swimsuit. Our swimwear is made in the USA.
