FAQs
Are these bikini shorts suitable for active swimming?
Yes, the Regatta Aceana Bikini Shorts are made with soft-touch stretch fabric (85% polyester, 15% elastane) which provides comfort and freedom of movement, making them suitable for active swimming and other watersports.
What kind of sun protection do these shorts offer?
These shorts feature UPF 50+ UV Protection fabric, which offers excellent protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, making them ideal for sun exposure.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
No, it is strongly recommended to hand wash these bikini shorts only. Machine washing can damage the fabric's elasticity and overall integrity. Please follow the care instructions for longevity.
How should I dry the shorts after washing?
Always air dry the shorts by laying them flat or hanging them in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight and do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fabric and cause colors to fade.
What is the fit like for these shorts?
These bikini shorts are designed to sit comfortably above the hip and provide good coverage for the bottom, offering a balance of style and practicality.
Are these shorts chlorine resistant?
While the polyester-elastane blend offers good resistance to chlorine and saltwater, it's crucial to rinse the shorts thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use in pools or the ocean to prolong their life and maintain fabric quality.
Troubleshooting
Color fading after a few uses
Ensure you are strictly following the 'Hand Wash Only' instruction. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine or saltwater, and always dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
Fabric feels stretched out or loses shape
Avoid using hot water during washing and never wring the fabric. Excessive heat and harsh handling can damage the elastane fibers. Gentle hand washing and flat drying are key.
Discomfort or chafing during prolonged wear
Ensure the size is correct; a size too small or too large can cause chafing. Also, apply a small amount of anti-chafing balm to sensitive areas before wear if you experience persistent irritation.
Difficulty removing sand from the fabric
Allow the shorts to dry completely before attempting to remove sand. Once dry, shake them vigorously or use a soft brush to gently brush off any remaining sand particles.

Care Instructions
- Hand Wash Only: To preserve the fabric's integrity, color, and elasticity, always hand wash these bikini shorts. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Rinse After Use: After swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater, rinse the shorts thoroughly with fresh, cool water as soon as possible. This helps remove corrosive elements that can degrade the fabric over time.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not twist or wring the fabric, as this can damage the elastane fibers.
- 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 deteriorate. Do not use a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store them dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing wet swimwear.

These bikini shorts are designed to be a versatile bottom for your swimwear collection. They pair well with a wide range of bikini tops, tankini tops, or even rash guards for additional upper body sun protection.
