I like the idea of these suits because they provide great sun protection and yet are also modest. But I am somewhat confused about this product.

Are rash guard and rush guard the same thing?
Are these suits meant to be worn in the water as is or over a regular bathing suit?
Do companies like SwimModest use sun protective material? I couldn't tell from the website.

I saw some boys "rush guard" suits at Target with SPF 45. Would the quality be as good as more expensive suits from places like Land's End?

This year I have to buy more protective suits for the kids. Even though we use sunscreen, dd still has a tan line from last summer on her back!

Melinda:

I have only heard them called rash guards - worn under wet suits it guards against a chafing rash. My children have been wearing them for a few years and they provide great sun protection & reduce the time it takes me to slather on the sunscreen. I usually buy new ones each season -- we use them a lot and they end up threadbare by the end of the summer. I have bought them from old navy, target, landsend, tuga website, and c-wear. I did not notice any major differences in product performance (ie cheaper v. pricer ones)

That makes sense. Are your kids wearing a swim suits under them? Probably not the boys, but are the girls? I am woefully ignorant on this topic- can you tell?
