Protect-a-bub UPF-50+ swimsuit clearance
By Jennifer | April 17, 2009 | 10 comments / Comment now
Children's sun-protection company Protect-a-bub (they sell UV swimwear and stroller sun shades) is clearing out their UPF-50+ sunwear for babies and toddlers. ("UPF" is a measure of both UVA and UVB protection.) But you won't see the sale on their site. More on that in a second.
We haven't tried the Protect-a-bub brand, but we have used UPF sunwear last year for Z and loved it. It cut down on the amount of sunscreen we needed to put on her (and thus the amount of time she had to stand still looking longingly at the pool). Their long-sleeved shirts are also great for outdoor play and activities like gardening.
If you want to order these suits (sizes 0-8) the process is a little unusual: Email them at info@protectabub.com with the subject line "swimsuit." Include your name and ship-to address along with what you want to order, and they'll get back to you with payment instructions. They are estimating $5 shipping for the first item and $1 for each additional item. At $9 per suit (before shipping), it's still 40% of the list price of $25-$29 even with the shipping added. You can also get the long sleeved shirt - great for outside play time or gardening - for $9 or any of the hat for $6. Stock up now for future years.

Amazing deal! Thanks, I’ve just ordered.
I’m going to do order these today for both of my kids and their cousin! Only one question - is a swim shirt included in the price of a suit?
Hi - I sent my email, but haven’t heard back...I hope it’s not too late to place my order as this is a great deal! thanks so much for the information.
i’ve never heard of these before. so kids wear these instead of a bathing suit? does it get hot after they get out of the water?
Amanda, I sent an e-mail last Friday and have not heard back either. Has anyone received further information from them?
I just placed an order for 9 suits and 4 hats! Thank you for spreading the word of this great deal! I have 4 small kids, and they are all so fair skinned. I hate slathering them in sunscreen from head to toe- so these will be great to minimize the area needed to cover. :) I bought some in every size so they can grow into them and pass them down!
Just received a reply! I was getting worried for a minute there!
I just got my reply too and placed my order! Can’t wait to get them. thanks!
Just so you know, the price of a “suit” includes swim shorts and the short-sleeved swim suit.
Hey! The sale is still on! (early June) And now you can do it all through a website:
