FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% or more of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While durable and supportive, this costume is designed more for recreational swimming, beachwear, and lounging. For competitive swimming, you might prefer a costume with a more performance-oriented cut and fabric.
Can I machine wash this costume?
Hand washing in cold water with mild detergent is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric, elasticity, and shape of the costume. Machine washing, especially with agitation, can degrade the material over time.
What is 'recycled content' in the fabric?
The fabric is made from 85% recycled polyester, meaning that a significant portion of the polyester used comes from recycled plastic materials, reducing environmental impact.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The best fit is achieved by adjusting the straps to your comfort. If you are unsure about sizing, consider your usual UK dress size, and if available, refer to the Regatta brand's specific swimwear sizing chart.
Are the cups removable?
The product description mentions 'non-wired padded cups', which generally implies the padding is integrated and not easily removable. Info needed: [Confirm if padding is removable or stitched in].
Does the leopard print fade easily?
To prevent fading, it is crucial to follow the care instructions: rinse immediately after use, hand wash with mild detergent, avoid harsh chemicals, and dry in the shade away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The costume feels uncomfortable or doesn't fit correctly.
Ensure the fully adjustable straps are correctly tightened or loosened to provide optimal support and comfort. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size based on your measurements.
The fabric seems to be fading or deteriorating.
Review the care instructions to ensure you are rinsing and washing the costume correctly after each use. Exposure to harsh chemicals (like high chlorine concentrations) or prolonged direct sunlight can cause premature fading. Always dry in the shade.
The tummy control feature doesn't feel effective.
The tummy control is designed to offer a smoothing effect. Ensure the costume is not stretched excessively and that you have selected the appropriate size. The effect is subtle and intended for light shaping, not compression.
Padded cups are folding or creasing.
Gently reshape the padded cups when the costume is wet or damp. Allow them to air dry flat to maintain their form. Avoid harsh wringing or machine washing, which can distort padding.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your swim costume, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your costume thoroughly in cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sun cream residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash with a mild detergent in cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can damage the fabric and elastic.
- Dry Flat: Lay the costume flat in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colours and degrade elastic over time.
- No Ironing or Dry Cleaning: Do not iron or dry clean the costume. High heat can damage the fabric.
- Store Properly: Ensure the costume is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odors.
