Flow's founder
Relaunch of Period Swimwear 2026
"Period swimwear is back! We've spent two years perfecting the fit and materials (we've chosen the best Italian fabrics).
Last summer, I tested the function and fit. I'm not usually a water baby, but of course, the samples I had in my suitcase had to pass their big test.
They passed with flying colours. I felt safe, comfortable - and chic. I'm incredibly excited to see you in the swimwear on the beach, by the pool, in gardens".
