ADIDAS ORIGINALS Comfort Flex Cotton Swimsuit - Blue - Striped - UK 14

While the name includes 'swimsuit,' this garment's blend of cotton, Tencel, and elastane is primarily optimized for comfort and breathability in dry conditions. It will absorb water more than traditional quick-drying swimwear and is best suited for casual wear, light activity, or as a stylish layering piece, rather than competitive or extended water immersion.

Tencel is a brand name for lyocell, a type of rayon fiber made from wood pulp. It is highly valued for its exceptional softness, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. When blended with cotton, as in this garment, it enhances overall comfort and feel against the skin.

This product follows standard UK women's dress sizing. For the most accurate fit, it is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare these measurements with the official Adidas size guide if available. The fabric has some stretch due to elastane for a comfortable fit.

For optimal care and to preserve the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinkage, air drying (laying flat or hanging) is strongly recommended. If you must tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly. High heat can cause irreversible shrinkage and damage.

This bodysuit is ideal for a range of casual and light activities. It's perfect for everyday wear, comfortable lounging, light exercise like walking or yoga, and as a versatile base layer under other clothing. Its breathability makes it great for warmer weather or as part of an active lifestyle outfit.

To best preserve the color and pattern, wash the garment inside out in cold water. Use a color-safe detergent and wash with similar colors. Additionally, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when drying, as UV rays can contribute to fading over time.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing on a gentle cycle. Air drying or tumble drying on a very low heat can help maintain softness. Consider adding a small amount of fabric softener specifically designed for cotton blends if stiffness persists.

Always wash in cold water and strictly follow air-drying recommendations. High heat during washing or drying is the most common cause of shrinkage in cotton and Tencel blends. Avoid tumble drying on high heat.

To minimize color fading, wash the garment inside out with similar colors. Use a detergent formulated for colored garments and avoid bleach or harsh cleaners. Limit direct prolonged sun exposure when drying.

The elastane content helps maintain shape, but excessive pulling or improper drying can affect it. Always air dry flat to help retain the garment's original form. Avoid hanging wet, heavy garments that might stretch.
