About Us

Bunbathers creator Melissa Williams-King is a former magazine editor and beauty journalist who loves to write about new product innovations that make women’s lives easier and a little more glamorous.

She’s a mum, a Pisces and devoted ocean-lover who believes that you never regret a swim - but she also has long, thick, frizz-prone hair that takes at least 45 minutes to dry and style.

One day, just after she’d had a particularly epic salon blowout, her son wanted to go to the pool. She put her hair high in a topknot and attempted to wear a swimming cap over it. Because she had so much hair, the cap kept slipping upwards and would not stay on properly.

She decided there had to be a better way… and Bunbathers was born. She believes it is the best swim cap for long hair.

Melissa is based in Auckland, New Zealand
