FAQs
What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber different from regular elastane?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber is engineered to resist damage from chlorine, sun creams, and heat. This means it can last up to 10 times longer than swimwear made with ordinary elastane, maintaining its shape and fit.
How do I ensure the longest life for my swimsuit?
Rinse your swimsuit in cold, fresh water immediately after each use. Machine wash at 40 degrees with similar colors and avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. Do not tumble dry or iron.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While it offers good freedom of movement and durability, its basic design is more suited for training, fitness swimming, and recreational use rather than elite competitive racing where specialized suits might be preferred.
Can I use this swimsuit in saltwater or hot tubs?
Yes, the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fiber offers resistance to sun creams and heat. However, it's always best to rinse the swimsuit in fresh water after use in saltwater or hot tubs to prolong its lifespan.
What is the material composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Nylon and 18% Lycra.
What UK dress size does this specific product refer to?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 8.
Does the swimsuit offer any tummy control features?
The description focuses on shape retention and freedom of movement. It does not specifically mention tummy control features.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit losing elasticity quickly
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly in cold water after every use to remove chlorine and salt. Adhere strictly to the machine washing instructions at 40 degrees.
Discoloration of fabric
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the swimsuit is not washed with harsh detergents or bleach, and always wash with similar colors.
Fit feels too tight or loose after a few wears
Verify that the correct size was selected initially. While the fabric is shape-retentive, improper sizing is the primary cause of poor fit over time. Consult the size guide if unsure.
