Full details
The Regatta Flavia II Swim Costume is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and flattering swimsuit for holiday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of tummy control and UV50+ protection, offering both confidence and sun safety. A potential caveat is that while it offers UV protection, it is not a substitute for sunscreen and should be complemented by appropriate sun protection measures.

Troubleshooting
Swimsuit loses elasticity or shape
Ensure the swimsuit is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt or chlorine, and always dry flat away from heat. Avoid machine drying or excessive wringing.
Color fades
Wash in cold water with mild detergent and dry away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can cause fading.
Tummy control panel feels restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The panel is designed for a snug fit; if it feels excessively tight, the size may be too small.
