FAQs

Are these bikini shorts suitable for swimming?

Yes, the Regatta Aceana Bikini Shorts are made from a blend of Polyester and Elastane, making them suitable for casual swimming and water activities. Their stretch fabric ensures comfort in the water.

What is the material composition of these shorts?

These bikini shorts are made from 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane, providing a soft-touch feel, good stretch, and quick-drying properties.

How do I determine my size?

This specific product is a UK women's dress size 20. We recommend using your standard UK dress size for swimwear. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (tighter or looser) or consult a brand-specific size guide if available.

Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?

No, these bikini shorts are 'hand wash only' to preserve the fabric's integrity, stretch, and print quality. Machine washing, especially with hot water or harsh cycles, can damage the material.

Are they resistant to chlorine or saltwater?

While the polyester-elastane blend offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to high levels of chlorine or saltwater can affect any swimwear. Always rinse your shorts thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use to extend their lifespan.

What kind of coverage do they offer?

The Regatta Aceana Bikini Shorts are cut to sit above the hip and are designed to provide comfortable and ample coverage for the bottom, offering a confident feel.

Troubleshooting

My bikini shorts feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you've selected the correct size based on your usual UK dress size (this product is size 20). If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a different size or returning for an exchange if applicable.

The leopard print seems to be fading.

Color fading can occur over time, especially with exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and direct sunlight. Always hand wash with cold water, rinse thoroughly after each use, and dry in the shade to minimize fading.

The fabric is losing its stretch or shape.

Over-stretching, high heat (from dryers or hot water), and harsh chemicals can degrade the elastane. Strictly follow the 'hand wash only' and 'do not tumble dry' instructions. Avoid wringing the fabric when drying.

The fabric feels rough or irritated after wearing.

Ensure all detergent residue is thoroughly rinsed out after washing. If irritation persists, consult a dermatologist, as it might be an individual sensitivity to the fabric blend or detergents used.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the quality, color, and lifespan of your Regatta Aceana Bikini Short. Always follow these guidelines:

  1. Hand Wash Only: This is crucial. Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently agitate the shorts in the water.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse under cool, running water until all detergent is removed.
  3. Do Not Bleach: Bleaching can damage the fabric and fade the print.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from a dryer can degrade the elastane and polyester fibers, affecting shape and stretch.
  5. Dry Flat in Shade: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay flat on a clean towel or hang to air dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
  6. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough surfaces, as this can cause pilling or snagging of the fabric.
  7. Rinse After Use: Always rinse your bikini shorts with fresh water after swimming in chlorine or saltwater to help prevent fabric breakdown and color fading.
