FAQs
What are the main benefits of the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is designed to resist damage from chlorine, lotions, and UV rays, making the swimsuit last up to 10 times longer than those with ordinary elastane. This means better shape retention and color vibrancy over time.
What is the swimsuit made of?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, offering a blend of durability, stretch, and sustainability.
How should I wash this swimsuit?
It is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use before washing.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily lap swimming?
Yes, its chlorine-resistant LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber and shape-retentive fabric make it highly suitable for frequent use, including daily lap swimming, as it is built to withstand the rigors of chlorinated pool environments.
Does the boyleg cut provide good coverage?
Yes, the boyleg cut provides more leg coverage compared to traditional high-cut or brief-style swimsuits, offering a comfortable and modest fit.
Will this swimsuit stretch out over time?
The swimsuit is made with shape-retentive fabric and LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber specifically engineered to maintain its shape and fit even with repeated use. Proper care will further ensure its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched out or is losing its shape prematurely.
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, particularly rinsing after each use and machine washing at 40°C. Avoid high heat drying, which is a common cause of fabric degradation. While the fabric is shape retentive, improper care can still impact its longevity.
Fabric appears discolored or faded, especially after frequent use in chlorinated pools.
Although the swimsuit features LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ for enhanced chlorine resistance, prolonged exposure to extremely high chlorine concentrations or failure to rinse thoroughly after use can still cause minimal fading over extended periods. Always rinse immediately after swimming and follow washing instructions carefully. Store away from direct sunlight.
Swimsuit feels uncomfortable or chafes during wear.
Check that you have the correct size. A swimsuit that is too small can pull and chafe, while one too large may bunch up. Ensure the fabric is smoothly adjusted on your body. If discomfort persists, consider your activity type; some intense movements might require minor adjustments.

Care
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your swimsuit, especially given its advanced chlorine-resistant properties:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly in cool, fresh water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, sand, and body oils that can degrade fabric over time.
- Machine Wash: The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (40°C).
- Use a gentle cycle.
- Wash with similar colors.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fibers and nylon.
- Drying:
- Do not tumble dry. High heat from dryers can severely damage the elasticity and integrity of swimwear fabric.
- Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring).
- Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade and fabric to degrade over time.
- Storage: Ensure the swimsuit is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odor. Store in a cool, dry place.
