FAQs
What is LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE is a specialized fiber engineered for swimwear. It provides exceptional resistance to chlorine, suntan lotions, and heat, significantly extending the swimsuit's lifespan—up to 10 times longer than garments made with ordinary elastane.
Is this swimsuit suitable for regular swimming in chlorinated pools?
Yes, absolutely. The core benefit of the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is its superior chlorine resistance, making this swimsuit ideal for frequent and regular use in chlorinated swimming pools.
How should I wash this swimsuit to ensure its longevity?
After each use, rinse the swimsuit in cool, fresh water. For washing, machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, tumble drying, and direct sunlight when drying.
What is the material composition of this swimsuit?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining durability with a comfortable stretch and a commitment to sustainability.
What kind of coverage does the boyleg style offer?
The boyleg cut provides increased coverage around the hips and upper thighs compared to traditional high-cut or brief styles, offering a more modest and secure fit for active swimming or water activities.
Does this swimsuit contribute to sustainability?
Yes, it does. With 82% of its nylon content being recycled, this swimsuit incorporates sustainable practices into its production, reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched out or loose after a few uses.
While LYCRA XTRA LIFE is highly shape-retentive, ensure you are always rinsing the suit immediately after use and washing it according to the 'Care Instructions'. Exposure to excessive heat (e.g., tumble drying, direct prolonged sunlight) can still affect elastane over time. Make sure the initial size was correct for your body.
Fabric seems to be fading despite being chlorine-resistant.
Even with advanced chlorine resistance, extreme concentrations of pool chemicals or very prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause minimal fading over time. Always rinse thoroughly after each swim and air dry in the shade to preserve color vibrancy.
Skin irritation or chafing during wear.
Check that the swimsuit is the correct size; a suit that is too small can cause discomfort. Also, ensure you are always rinsing the suit well after swimming to remove all chlorine residue, which can sometimes irritate sensitive skin.
