Advocate Apparel Inspired by the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are fish, not whales - allowing them to hold the esteemed title of "largest fish in the sea" (since sharks are fish too!). These charismatic creatures can reach lengths of 12 meters (40 feet) or more! Despite their large size, they feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, plankton. Hanging vertically in the water column they're able to suction feed and filter these tiny organisms through their gill rakers much like a giant vacuum cleaner pulls dust and dirt from a kitchen floor, filtering the fragments into its chamber within.

Unfortunately, approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, through direct targeted fishing efforts as well as unintended bycatch from other fisheries. The whale shark is one species of shark that is particularly vulnerable to this commercial fishing due to their high value in international trade, in addition to their highly migratory nature and normally low abundance. Research into the lives of these gentle giants can help us to manage their populations and keep these magnificent fish in the ocean where they belong.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to the Marine Megafauna Foundation

The Marine Megafauna Foundation is helping to shed light on the population structure, migratory patterns, and the conservation requirements of these threatened sharks. Created in 2009, they aim to research, protect and conserve the large populations of marine megafauna (large marine species) found along the Mozambican coastline. Almost all whale sharks encountered by divers are juveniles and most are males. Where the school-bus-sized mature sharks swim, what they eat, and where the females give birth has long been a mystery, however their team is now very close to making these discoveries. 5% of sales from your purchase will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation for satellite tags that are needed to track the movements of these large female whale sharks.

“Waterlust's support provides critical seed funding for us to rapidly develop and implement whale shark conservation projects in areas where this globally-endangered species is most at risk. This includes Mozambique, where our research and awareness work helped the government decide to fully protect whale sharks just a few weeks ago. We love working with a company that is so committed to making a positive change in the world.”

Love this suit!

The material feels soft and durable and the pattern is gorgeous. I do wish there was a sizing option for larger chests, because mine is barely covered while the band is bordering on too large. Still very happy with the suit and will wear it lots, maybe just not for beach volleyball 😆

Great suit with a great cause

I love that this is reversible, so I’m getting two swimsuits for the price of one. Both the top and bottoms fit really well and feel comfortable to wear. I’m excited to mix and match both sides all summer long.

I love Waterlust, and have bought the leggings since their inception.
I would like to return this top, however. It just smashes me flat.
Also....I want another pair of Whale Shark leggings but they are always out of stock. Any help with that?

Hi April,

Thanks for sharing this feedback and for being a longtime Waterlust supporter! We would be happy to take the bikini top back for a full refund. You can set that up with our returns portal here: https://returns.waterlust.com/#/

Our Whale Shark Leggings are some of our best sellers and it can be hard to keep up with demand especially since we try to make only what we need! We should receive more women's leggings at the end of February/beginning of March. If you have not already, you can sign up on the Whale Shark Legging product page to be notified immediately when the size you are interested in is back in stock. So sorry they have been out of stock each time you've looked, I know that must be frustrating!

Again, thank you so much for your support over the years. Shoot us an email at hello@waterlust.com if you need any further assitance with your return!

Perfect!

Durable, thick material, super flattering and cute pattern. It was too small, but the exchange process has been so easy.

Love this swim top!

I’m 5’7 162 lbs and 36DD and the large is comfy for me. No padding but I can live without it. Gives some cleavage but I wouldn’t hesitate to snorkel or swim in this. I plan to wear this a lot when I scuba dive.

Love my new bikini top

Pattern is great and it feels super well made and is very flattering on me! Very supportive too - no concerns about the ladies popping out
