The Burquini for the modest Muslim woman. Or, for those of us who burn easily.

Now, for those of you who don’t know what a Burquini is, it is basically a swimsuit for the modest Muslim woman. It covers you from head to toe and looks very similar to a full body wetsuit. Obviously the word comes from combining two words:‘Burqua’, the clothing worn by Muslim women to completely cover their body, and ‘Bikini’ to make ‘Burquini’.

[sidenote] Actually, the Burquini looks like something I should wear because I burn so easily under the sun. What an idea! I could go out and swim with everyone else without applying the sunscreen every 20 minutes…[/sidenote]

When asked what kind of swimsuit would be more hygienic and appropriate for the swimming pool, the French judge suggested something more along the lines of a more ‘normal French swimsuit’, such as the one below.

As you can see this swimsuit is much, much more hygienic than a Burquini.

Oh yeah. Much cleaner. That string covers it all.
