FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ different from regular Lycra?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered to resist degradation from chlorine, heat, and suntan lotions, lasting up to 10 times longer than conventional elastane in swimwear. This means it holds its shape and color better over time.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the specific size guide for the Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Basic Swimsuit. Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart. Ensure the swimsuit fits snugly without being uncomfortably tight.
Can I use this swimsuit for competitive swimming?
While designed for durability and freedom of movement, this is a basic swimsuit. For competitive swimming, athletes may prefer suits with more advanced compression or hydrodynamic features, but this suit is suitable for training and regular use.
What is the best way to clean the swimsuit after use?
Rinse the swimsuit in cool, fresh water immediately after each use. Then, machine wash it at 40 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the swimsuit offer any bust support?
The description does not specify built-in bust support. However, the shape-retentive fabric and classic design provide a comfortable and secure fit for general wear.
Can this swimsuit be tumble-dried?
No, the swimsuit should not be tumble-dried. Heat from a dryer can damage the LYCRA® fibers. It should be air-dried, preferably reshaped and hung away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does 'shape retentive fabric' mean?
Shape retentive fabric means the material is designed to stretch and then return to its original shape, preventing the swimsuit from becoming baggy or losing its form after wear and washing.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit losing elasticity prematurely
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly with cold water after each use to remove chlorine or salt. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully, avoiding heat and harsh detergents.
Fit is not as expected
Refer to the size chart for the Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Basic Swimsuit. Consider your body shape and the specific measurements provided. If between sizes, it may be advisable to size up for a more comfortable fit, or down if a very snug fit is desired.
Color fading
While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber offers good color retention, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Always dry the swimsuit away from direct sunlight.
