About Hopalo

History & Mission

During a day at the beach with her two children aged 2 and 4, creator Marie-Josée Lambert noticed how constraining children's swimsuits could be. When it comes time to go to the toilet, the one-piece swimsuit brings its share of discomforts, whether in public places, water parks, during outdoor outings, or at home. We only have to think of the child who is stuck in their wet swimsuit during urgent needs, the swimsuit that falls on the dirty ground, the disdain we have in public places, the child who is learning to be clean... 

Following these reflections, Hopalo was founded in January 2014. The mission of Hopalo is to make the moment of going to the toilet during activities in swimsuits comfortable, practical, simple, and fun, thus improving the hygienic aspect. Our vision is to offer our customers the best product suited to their needs. Our swimsuits are primarily designed for children aged 6 months to 12 years, but we will develop other sectors soon.

A Unique Principle

Developed in 2012, Hopalo swimsuits are attractive, subtle, and ingenious. These detachable swimsuits are equipped with a system that holds the fabric to increase comfort during bathroom visits. A fun concept for children, which through its playful side, promotes autonomy and develops the dexterity of the youngest while being practical for the older ones.
