FAQs
How long can I expect this swimsuit to last?
Thanks to its LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is designed to last up to 10 times longer than those with ordinary elastane, especially against chlorine degradation, when proper care instructions are followed.
Can I machine wash this swimsuit?
Yes, this swimsuit is machine washable. Please use a gentle cycle at 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Always use a mild detergent and avoid bleach.
What does 'boyleg' mean for a swimsuit?
A 'boyleg' swimsuit features a cut that extends further down the thigh than a traditional high-cut or brief style, offering more coverage and a confident, comfortable fit.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Absolutely. The primary benefit of the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is its exceptional resistance to chlorine, making it an excellent choice for frequent use in chlorinated swimming pools.
What is the fabric composition?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra, combining durability, stretch, and a more sustainable material choice.
How should I dry the swimsuit?
Always air dry your swimsuit. Lay it flat or hang it in the shade, away from direct sunlight or high heat sources like tumble dryers, which can damage the elastic fibers.
Does this swimsuit offer UV protection?
While the fabric provides some inherent sun protection, specific UPF ratings are not provided. For extended sun exposure, it's always recommended to use additional sun protection.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit seems to be losing its shape or elasticity.
This is often caused by exposure to harsh chemicals or improper drying. Ensure you rinse the swimsuit thoroughly after each use and follow the machine washing instructions (40 degrees Celsius, gentle cycle, no tumble dry) to preserve the fabric's integrity.
Color appears to be fading prematurely.
Chlorine exposure is a common cause of color fading. While your swimsuit has enhanced chlorine resistance, always rinse it immediately after use and wash as directed. Avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Finding the boyleg cut uncomfortable or restrictive.
The boyleg design offers more coverage. Ensure you have the correct size; a suit that is too small can feel restrictive. The fabric is designed for freedom of movement, so if discomfort persists, double-check sizing or consider if this cut suits your body type and activity.
