Girls' Rash Vests and Swim Tops
A girls' swim top covers the shoulders and arms, the areas that burn first on a beach day or at an outdoor pool. MINOTI rash vests run from baby sizes to age 15 and go over a swimming costume or with bikini bottoms. They are also handy for swimming lessons and surf school, where a close-fitting top stays put in the water.
A girls' rash vest and a swim top are the same thing: a close-fitting stretch top made to be worn in the water. Each one is labelled with a height in centimetres. When you buy a girls' rash vest, choose her usual height size, because a looser fit fills with water and rides up. Rinse it in cool fresh water after the pool or the sea, then follow the care label.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells girls' rash vests online for ages 0 to 15, close-fitting swim tops for pools and beaches sized by height in centimetres, and a 6-year-old usually takes 122 cm.
What size rash vest does a 7-year-old girl need?
A 7-year-old girl usually takes 128 cm. Rash vests should fit close without pulling at the shoulders, so go up one only if she is near the top of that height.
Can a girl wear a rash vest with bikini bottoms?
Yes. A rash vest over bikini bottoms covers her shoulders and arms and lets her take the top off to dry. Choose the same size for both, for example 140 cm for a 9-year-old.
