FAQs
What makes LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ special?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is engineered for a long-lasting fit and superior resistance to degradation from chlorine, sun lotion, and body oils. This technology makes the swimsuit last up to 10 times longer than those made with ordinary elastane, maintaining its shape and elasticity.
Can I use this swimsuit for daily swimming or training?
Yes, its chlorine-resistant properties, durable fabric, and comfortable racer-back design make it ideal for regular and frequent swimming sessions, including training and recreational use.
How should I wash my Slazenger Boyleg Swimsuit?
Rinse the swimsuit in cold water immediately after each use. It is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Always air dry in the shade; do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach.
What does 'boyleg' mean in a swimsuit?
A 'boyleg' swimsuit features a short, leg-like cut that extends slightly down the upper thigh, offering more coverage than a traditional high-cut or brief style. This provides a secure and comfortable fit, especially during active movement.
Is this swimsuit environmentally friendly?
Yes, the fabric composition includes 82% recycled nylon as part of its material blend, contributing to reduced environmental impact through the use of recycled materials.
Will the racer-back design restrict my movement?
On the contrary, the racer-back design is specifically chosen to provide maximum freedom of movement for your shoulders and arms. It keeps the straps securely in place during active swimming, preventing slippage and allowing for an unhindered range of motion.
How do I choose the right size?
The swimsuit is designed for an 'adult' age group and 'female' gender, available in standard UK dress sizes (e.g., 8, 10, 12). For optimal fit, it's recommended to consult the brand's specific sizing chart if available, or choose your usual dress size for swimwear.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric is designed for a snug, shape-retaining fit, but it should not restrict movement or cause discomfort. Refer to sizing guides if available. If discomfort persists, the size may be incorrect.
Fabric appears to be stretching or losing shape prematurely.
Verify care instructions are being followed diligently, especially rinsing after use and avoiding high heat drying. While highly durable due to LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, improper care, excessive heat, or harsh chemicals can still impact its longevity and elasticity. Ensure it's not being stored wet.
Color fading faster than expected.
While chlorine-resistant, prolonged exposure to extremely high chlorine levels, strong UV rays (direct harsh sunlight) without proper rinsing, or using inappropriate detergents can still affect color vibrancy. Ensure prompt rinsing after swimming and air drying in the shade.
Fabric feels rough or irritated after swimming.
This could be due to residual chlorine or salt. Ensure you are rinsing the swimsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use. A gentle machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius with mild detergent is also recommended regularly.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life of your swimsuit and maintain its performance:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your swimsuit thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and body oils. This is crucial for preserving the LYCRA® fibers.
- Machine Wash: Machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach or harsh stain removers as they can severely damage the LYCRA® fibers and fabric color.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat (like tumble dryers) as these can degrade the fabric's elasticity and shape retention.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough surfaces (e.g., concrete pool edges) to prevent snags or pilling that can damage the fabric's appearance and integrity.
