Meet Ash: From Jet Skis to Mum Life – Why She Chooses BounceDown

At BounceDown, we love celebrating real women who live life in and around the water. Our latest BounceDown Woman, Ash, has grown up by the ocean and rivers, raced jet skis, and now embraces the waves of motherhood alongside her toddler.

A Life Spent on the Water

Ash’s story starts where many great ones do – by the water.
“I grew up on the water. All sorts of places – ocean and rivers. I was also a jet ski racer,” she shares. These days, life looks a little different. With a toddler by her side, Ash might not be racing offshore as often, but beach trips and swimming lessons keep her close to what she loves most.

The Swimwear Struggle (and the Solution)

Like so many women with a fuller bust, Ash has battled with swimsuits that just don’t fit right.

“Other swimsuits I’ve tried have been pushing me down and pulling me up in the back,” she explains. “But since I’ve got my BounceDown, I now feel supported, secure and I have just the right amount of coverage.”

That balance of comfort and confidence means she can focus on what matters most – time with her son. “Mum-life has me running off to my toddler a lot, and my natural reaction has always been to go for a good old tuck and hold to keep the girls in. But when I’m in my BounceDown, I realize I don’t actually have to do that. I can be hands-free and chase after my toddler as much as he needs.”

Support You Can’t See

For Ash, the standout feature is the support that’s built into every BounceDown swimsuit.
“My favorite thing about the BounceDown is the support that’s inbuilt that you can’t see. It keeps me all covered and in place at all times.”

It’s this hidden structure – combined with adjustable fit options – that makes the design so versatile. “Any new mums out there that are looking for a swimsuit, I would highly recommend to have a look at the BounceDown swimsuit. It is completely customizable with its adjustments at the back to choose from, and you can completely tailor it to how you need it to fit on the day.”

Her Advice to New Mums

Ash knows firsthand that motherhood brings plenty of unsolicited advice. Her words of wisdom? “My biggest advice for new Mums is always to listen to all the advice that’s thrown on you, but only take what resonates.”

Why She Wears BounceDown

From the ease of slipping into her suit (thanks to the quick clasp at the back) to feeling secure enough to run, swim, and play without second-guessing, Ash says BounceDown has been a game-changer. “As a size 8E, I finally feel like I’ve found a swimsuit that works for me and my lifestyle.”
