Megan Thee Stallion released a hot swimwear line that’s creating serious buzz. One of the swimsuits features a snakeskin print, allowing you to embody your favorite slithering animal. This got me thinking: Are bathing suits vegan?
I was pretty sure that bathing suits are already vegan by default, and my research confirmed it. But these options do more than just prepare you for the pool; they also get you ready for Hot Vegan Girl summer, where the only thing we’re killing is cruelty.
Stay Snatched Without Animal Skins
The Megan Thee Stallion Mamushi One-Piece looks like a shimmering snake and makes a great conversation starter about the wildly cruel wildlife skins industry. Snakes are shy and sensitive. They love sunbathing and minding their own business. They want to be left alone, not killed to make a purse or shoes.

Did you know? PETA entities have exposed extremely cruel ways in which snakes and other animals are killed for their skin, including at farms that supply Louis Vuitton. Snakes are commonly nailed to trees, decapitated, or cut open and then skinned alive. TAKE ACTION >>
It’s Giving Earth Day
Any brand calling itself “eco-friendly” or “sustainable” had better be vegan, or else they’re green-washing liars. Thankfully, essentials for Zula walks the talk with recycled fabrics.

Go Bold or Go Home
Subtlety? Never heard of her. If you’re looking for a bathing suit that says something—literally—go for this black and white two-piece emblazoned with pigs.

Fish Are Friends, Not Food
These swim shorts feature our favorite ocean dwellers and can be used as fuel to spark a conversation about sea life.

Wear Your Own Skin
I had never heard of a leather swimsuit before, but count me in for the vegan version. With this suit from Vanity Couture, not only can you show off with leopard print, the chains on your hips can make an easy segue into how big cats are STILL dragged around and forced to perform at circuses.

And you know, no hot vegan girl summer beach bag is complete without these:
So yeah, bathing suit materials are pretty much always vegan, but there are always ways to ramp up compassion. See you at the pool!
