Are these shorts suitable for swimming in chlorine pools?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff or scratchy after swimming.
This is often due to residual chlorine or salt. Rinse the bikini shorts thoroughly with cool, clean water immediately after each use. A gentle hand wash with a mild soap can also help restore softness.
Color appears to be fading or dulling.
Excessive exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals (like high chlorine levels) can cause fading. Always rinse after use and air dry in the shade. Wash with like colors to prevent color transfer and avoid strong detergents.
The shorts feel stretched out or have lost elasticity.
Elastane can degrade over time with improper care. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, and tumble drying. Always gently hand wash or use a delicate cold cycle, and air dry. Ensure you are selecting the correct size; an overly tight fit can also put stress on the fabric.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bikini shorts. Always follow the garment's specific care label, but generally:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially after contact with chlorine or saltwater, rinse the shorts thoroughly in cool, clean water. This helps remove chemicals and salt that can degrade fabric.
- Gentle Wash: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water and place the shorts in a mesh laundry bag to protect them.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, strong detergents, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's elasticity and color.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can stretch or damage the fabric.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay the shorts flat on a clean, dry surface or hang them in a shaded area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade and fabric to degrade. Do not tumble dry.
- Store Properly: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew.
