FAQs
Are these bikini shorts suitable for swimming in chlorinated pools?
Yes, they are suitable for pool use. However, to maintain the fabric's integrity and color, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after every swim.
What does UPF 50+ mean for sun protection?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection. This helps shield your skin from sunburn and sun damage.
How do I choose the right size for these shorts?
These shorts are a UK women's dress size 12. For the best fit, we recommend consulting the Regatta official size guide, typically found on the product page or brand website, and measuring yourself to compare.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
While hand washing is recommended for optimal care, if machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and place them in a mesh laundry bag. Always air dry flat in the shade, and never tumble dry.
Will the striped pattern fade over time?
With proper care, including rinsing after use and drying in the shade, the striped pattern should retain its vibrancy. Exposure to strong chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight can contribute to fading.
Are these shorts designed for specific body types?
The Aceana Bikini Shorts are designed to sit above the hip and provide good bottom coverage, offering a universally flattering fit for many body types, prioritizing comfort and style.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy or has lost shape over time.
This often occurs due to improper care. Ensure you are hand washing in cool water and avoiding high heat from tumble drying. Harsh chemicals can also degrade elastane, so use a mild detergent.
Color or pattern appears to be fading.
Chlorine, saltwater, and direct sunlight are common culprits. Always rinse your shorts immediately after swimming and dry them flat in the shade, away from direct sun exposure.
Skin irritation after wearing.
Ensure the shorts are thoroughly rinsed after swimming to remove any chlorine or salt residue. If irritation persists, re-evaluate your detergent for washing, or ensure the fit is not too tight causing chafing.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the fabric's elasticity, color, and UV protection rating. Follow these guidelines for optimal longevity:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated or salt water, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cool, fresh water.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh soaps or bleaches.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and reduce its elasticity and UV protection.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from tumble drying can degrade the stretch fibers. Always air dry.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay the shorts flat on a clean surface or hang them in a shaded area to dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause fading and fabric breakdown.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces, as this can snag or pill the fabric.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended for this type of stretch fabric.
