Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this bodysuit suitable for swimming?
While the product title includes "Swimsuit," the high cotton and Tencel content means it's not designed for extensive water activities or quick drying like traditional synthetic swimwear. It's best suited for light water exposure or as a fashion piece.
What is Tencel (Lyocell)?
Tencel is a brand of lyocell fiber, which is a sustainable fabric made from wood pulp. It's known for being exceptionally soft, breathable, and durable, often providing a silky feel similar to rayon but with better moisture-wicking properties.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the ADIDAS ORIGINALS size chart for bodysuits. Given the blend of cotton and elastane, it offers some stretch, but for optimal comfort and fit, choose your usual UK dress size.
Can I wear a bra with this bodysuit?
Yes, you can wear a bra. A strapless bra or a bra with a racerback design is recommended to ensure a seamless look, especially if the bodysuit is worn as a standalone top.
Will this bodysuit shrink?
To minimize shrinkage, always wash in cold water and avoid high heat drying. The blend of cotton and elastane is designed for stability, but excessive heat can cause cotton to shrink.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels stretched out after wear/wash
Ensure you are washing it in cold water and air drying or tumble drying on the lowest heat setting. High heat can damage the elastane fibers, causing them to lose elasticity. Avoid over-stretching during wear.
Fabric appears dull or faded
Wash the bodysuit inside out to protect the outer surface from abrasion. Use a color-safe, mild detergent and avoid using bleach or harsh stain removers.
Discomfort or chafing from seams
While generally designed for comfort, ensure the bodysuit is properly sized. If it's too tight, seams can press against the skin. Check for any tags that might be causing irritation and remove them carefully if necessary.
Bodysuit is difficult to put on or take off
This is a pull-on style, so ensure you have the correct size. If it's consistently difficult, a larger size might offer more ease of wear. The elastane content should provide adequate stretch.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and maintain the soft feel of your bodysuit, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Turn the garment inside out to protect the fabric and design.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the cotton-Tencel blend and elastane.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, lay flat to air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage or damage the elastane, affecting the fit.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, inside out. Avoid ironing directly over the Adidas 3-stripe design.
- Storage: Store folded or hung to prevent stretching, especially if hanging wet.
*Always refer to the garment's care tag for the most specific instructions.*
