Troubleshooting

Watershorts feel too tight or too loose

Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the drawstring is properly tied for a secure fit if the waistband is slightly loose.

Discoloration after washing or sun exposure

Ensure the care instructions are followed precisely. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use only mild detergents. If discoloration persists, it may be due to excessive chlorine or UV exposure.

Material feels stiff after drying

This is normal for some synthetic swimwear materials. The fabric will soften with subsequent wears and washes. Ensure the garment is not over-dried or exposed to harsh chemicals.
