Unknown and Terrifying Obsession with Jolyns

If anyone is really close with me, they know I have a slight problem with Jolyns. What is a Jolyn you ask? Well let me fill ya in!

Jolyn is a swimsuit brand the specializes in fitness and exercise for girls who swim, play water polo, dive, lifeguard, you name it. Jolyn is extremely appealing to water sports and water activities, but of course people buy them because they're cute and want of new bikini. 

However, it seems as if Jolyn has taken over not only me life and banking account, but most of the young, female population in Sacramento. It has gone to extremes. During swim practice and water polo practice, I see nothing but Jolyns (myself included! I'm not trying to be a hypocrite!). Girls of all sizes wear them, and to be completely honest, they look confident as heck. Now, this isn't to say Jolyns appeal to all of women's sizes, because they don't. They are appealing to fit, strong, small young women. However, I look around, and I see all of my teammates as strong, fit, beautiful young women. I know people say Jolyn isn't an appropriate swim brand in the way where they are appealing to a very small proportion of women, but I honestly have to disagree. My teammates all look amazing and strong and confident in their Jolyn. I believe Jolyn has the ability to make women feel good about themselves rather than belittle them and make them feel like they're not good enough. 



In all seriousness Sacramento might need a Jolyntervention (Jolyn+Invertention...I'm not even sorry).

  1. I do think that people give Jolyn a lot of bad rap because they seemingly appeal only to young, strong, fit females; not really giving thought to the diversity outside of that category. But I don't think their target market should control if people get their suits or not. From experience of being on both swim and water polo, I see all types of girls (all lot of whom don't fit into the Jolyln "ideal") wear Jolyn and rock it! Regardless of their target market, Jolyn is a brand that can fit with all women.
