Affordability: we hear you!

If you’ve been thinking, “I’d love a beach day… but everything is just so expensive lately,” you’re not imagining it. Across Australia, cost-of-living pressure has made people more cautious with spending, and value has become the deciding factor for many purchases, especially anything that feels non-essential.

But here’s the thing: going to the beach isn’t “non-essential” in the ways that matter.

For women 40+, like us, the beach represents family time, memory making, and connection. It means freedom, comfort and ease of movement and the simple joy of feeling like yourself again. Choosing to miss out on these feelings and well-being factors can be exacerbated by feeling swimsuit anxiety. So it’s easy to talk yourself out of being with family and friends on the beach. It can mean another summer sitting on the sidelines.

At Suncheeter, the whole reason we exist is to help you reclaim your beach life with swimwear that offers more coverage and confidence: rash tops, swim dresses, and swim leggings designed to help you feel comfortable in your body, right now. And because we’re listening closely to what women are dealing with in 2026, we’ve made a big decision: we’ve permanently lowered our prices on our key classic items.

Not a “today only” code. Not a quick promo. A real shift so more women can say yes to summer again.

A discount can feel exciting in the moment, but it can also create stress: “Should I buy now? What if I miss it? What if it’s cheaper next week?” When budgets are tight, shopping decisions often take more time and more consideration, because every purchase has to justify itself.

Permanent lower pricing removes the pressure. It’s a promise: you don’t need to play the promo game to get a fair price. You can buy when you’re ready, when you’ve checked your budget, when you’ve talked yourself into that beach walk, when you’ve finally decided you’re done missing out.

And importantly, value doesn’t mean “cheap.” It means the purchase makes sense for your life. It means you’ll actually wear it.

When women tell us they want more coverage, it usually isn’t about hiding, it’s about feeling at ease. It’s about not having to think about your stomach, thighs, arms, scars, or sun exposure every time you move.

So, if you’re shopping with a tighter budget (and you want to avoid buying something that ends up sitting in the drawer), focus on value in these 4 practical ways:

• Coverage that matches your comfort level (not someone else’s).
• Pieces that work together, so you can create more than one look without buying a whole new set.
• Fabric and construction that feels supportive and wearable for longer beach days.
• Lasting classic styling and quality that lasts over seasons.

That’s exactly why we focus on rash tops, swim dresses, and swim leggings because they offer flexibility and confidence in real-life beach situations (walking, swimming, water sports, playing with kids, sitting at the café).

If you’re not sure where to start, here’s a simple 3-step guide to build a coverage-first swim wardrobe without overbuying.

1) Start with your “confidence anchor”

Choose the piece that instantly makes you feel more comfortable. For many women, that’s a swim dress or a rash top because it changes how you feel the moment you put it on. When your top half feels covered and supported, you tend to stand differently, move more freely, and stop adjusting.

2) Add the piece that solves your biggest “beach barrier”

Ask: what’s the one thing that stops you from going?

• If it’s upper-body coverage or sun protection, start with a rash top.
• If it’s thigh/leg coverage or rubbing/chafing worries, consider swim leggings.
• If it’s wanting a more “dressed” feeling without extra effort, a swim dress can be the easiest yes.

3) Think in outfits, not items

The best value often comes from sets that mix and match. A rash top that works with swim leggings can become your “beach uniform,” while a swim dress can be your throw-on option for days when you want the least mental load.

When prices rise everywhere, it’s easy to feel guilty spending money on yourself. But comfort, movement, and confidence aren’t indulgences, they’re quality of life. Throw sun-protection into the equation and it just seems like the sensible thing to support yourself in.

That’s why we didn’t want affordability to be the reason you don’t go. And it’s why this change is permanent: lower prices, same mission: helping women get their beach life back with coverage-first swimwear. 

If this is the summer you want to stop sitting out, start small: pick one piece you’ll actually wear, and plan one beach day. No pressure, no countdown timer, just swimwear designed for coverage and confidence, now at permanently lower prices to meet the moment Australians are living in.
