FAQs
What material is the Regatta Aceana Bikini Short made from?
The bikini short is made from a soft-touch stretch polyester fabric, ensuring comfort, flexibility, and durability for swimwear.
Is this bikini short suitable for all water activities?
It is ideal for leisure activities such as swimming, sunbathing, and relaxed beach walks. While durable, it's designed more for comfort and style than for high-performance or competitive swimming.
How do I ensure the color doesn't fade?
To prevent fading, rinse your bikini short immediately after each use in cool, clean water. Hand wash with a mild detergent and always air dry flat in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight.
Can I machine wash the bikini short?
Hand washing is generally recommended for polyester swimwear to preserve its shape, elasticity, and color. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and place the short in a mesh laundry bag. Always check the garment's specific care label.
Does this bikini short offer sun protection?
While the fabric provides some physical barrier against the sun's rays, specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings are not provided. We recommend using additional sun protection such as sunscreen, hats, and seeking shade, especially during peak sun hours.
How does the sizing run?
The Regatta Aceana Bikini Short is designed to sit above the hip and provide good bottom coverage. It is generally advised to refer to the official Regatta size chart to ensure the best fit, as swimwear fit can be personal. It is available in UK women's dress size 12.
Troubleshooting
Bikini short feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to Regatta's official size guide (if available) and consider if a different size would offer a more comfortable fit. Swimwear should feel snug when dry, as it may slightly relax in water.
Color appears to be fading or fabric seems dull.
This is often due to improper care. Always rinse thoroughly after each use and follow the recommended hand washing and drying instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or direct sunlight during drying.
Fabric snagging or pilling.
Polyester is durable, but snags can occur from rough surfaces (e.g., poolside edges, unvarnished benches). Be mindful of where you sit or rub. Pilling is less common with polyester but can be gently removed with a fabric shaver if it occurs.
Elasticity seems to be losing its stretch.
Over-stretching, high heat (from washing machines, dryers, or very hot water), and harsh chemicals (like bleach or certain sunscreens) can degrade elastic. Adhere strictly to cool water washing, gentle handling, and air drying in the shade.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Regatta Aceana Bikini Short. As general guidance for polyester swimwear:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your bikini short thoroughly in cool, clean water to remove chlorine, saltwater, and sunscreen residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash using a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh soaps or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Squeeze out excess water gently. Wringing can damage the fabric's elasticity and shape.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay flat to dry in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Avoid using a tumble dryer as high heat can damage the stretch fabric.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against abrasive surfaces, as this can cause pilling or snagging.
Always check the garment's specific care label for the most accurate instructions.
