FAQs
How does this swimsuit last 'up to 10 times longer'?
The swimsuit is made with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, which is specifically engineered to be highly resistant to chlorine degradation, a common cause of swimwear wear-and-tear. This special fiber helps the garment maintain its shape and elasticity significantly longer than those made with ordinary elastane.
Is the Slazenger Boyleg Swimsuit suitable for daily use?
Yes, its durable construction and chlorine-resistant properties make it an excellent choice for frequent and even daily use, especially for regular pool goers or those in swim training.
What is the material composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining sustainability with high-performance stretch and durability.
Can I machine wash this swimsuit?
Yes, it is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Please follow the care instructions to ensure its longevity.
Does this swimsuit provide good freedom of movement?
Absolutely. The racer-back design and the shape-retentive fabric are specifically chosen to provide maximum freedom of movement, allowing for an unhindered swimming experience.
What kind of coverage does the 'boyleg' style offer?
The boyleg style provides slightly more leg coverage than traditional high-cut or brief swimsuits, extending a little down the thigh for comfort and a modest look.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched or has lost elasticity quickly.
Ensure you are following the care instructions, especially machine washing at 40 degrees and air drying. Exposure to high heat, harsh chemicals (like excessive chlorine not rinsed off), or improper drying can degrade the Lycra fibers. Rinse thoroughly after each use.
Color appears to be fading prematurely.
While the fabric is chlorine-resistant, prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or direct harsh sunlight during drying can affect color. Always rinse immediately after use and air dry in the shade.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing.
This could be due to detergent residue or mineral buildup from hard water. Ensure thorough rinsing during washing and consider using a milder detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Care
Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your swimsuit:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or body oils.
- Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Use Mild Detergent: If washing, use a mild, non-chlorine specific detergent.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach as it will damage the fabric.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can break down the fibers over time.
- Air Dry: Lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat, such as tumble dryers or radiators, as this can degrade the LYCRA® fibers and affect elasticity.
