FAQs
What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber different from regular elastane?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is engineered to resist the damaging effects of chlorine, heat, and pool chemicals up to 10 times longer than standard elastane, maintaining the fabric's shape and fit.
Can I use this swimsuit in the ocean?
Yes, the swimsuit can be used in the ocean. However, it is crucial to rinse it thoroughly in fresh water immediately after use to remove salt and sand, which can degrade the fabric over time.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes. The swimsuit should fit snugly but comfortably without restricting movement.
What is the fabric composition of this swimsuit?
The fabric composition is 82% Polyester and 18% Lycra.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While durable and comfortable for regular use, it is designed more for training and recreational swimming. Competitive swimmers may prefer suits with higher compression or specific FINA-approved designs.
How often should I replace my swimsuit?
With proper care, this swimsuit, thanks to its LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber, should last significantly longer than standard swimwear, potentially for years depending on frequency of use and care.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity quickly
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly in cold, fresh water after every use to remove chlorine and salt. Avoid tumble drying and exposure to high heat, and use a mild detergent without fabric softener.
Fabric feels stiff or rough after washing
This can sometimes be due to undissolved detergent or mineral buildup. Ensure detergent is fully dissolved before washing and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Color fading
While the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is designed for color retention, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Dry the swimsuit away from direct sunlight.
Racer-back straps are uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If discomfort persists, the style may not be suitable for your body shape. Check that the suit is not too tight in the torso.
