FAQs
What material are these bikini shorts made from?
The main fabric is 85% polyester and 15% elastane. This blend provides a soft-touch feel with good stretch and durability.
Do these shorts offer sun protection?
Yes, the fabric provides UV Protection (UPF) of 50+, offering excellent protection from harmful UV rays.
How should I wash my Aceana Bikini Shorts?
It's recommended to rinse them in cool, fresh water immediately after use. Hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water, gently squeeze out excess water, and air dry in the shade.
Are these shorts suitable for intense swimming or watersports?
While comfortable for general swimming and beach activities, they are designed more for comfort and coverage. For high-performance watersports, you might prefer swimwear with a more streamlined design.
Can I wear these as regular shorts?
While designed as swimwear, their comfortable fit and casual style could potentially allow for wear as very casual shorts in certain contexts, though they are optimized for water activities.
What is the typical lifespan of the UPF protection?
With proper care, the UPF protection should last for the garment's lifetime. However, extreme heat, harsh chemicals, or abrasive friction can potentially reduce its effectiveness over time.
Is the striped pattern sewn into the fabric or printed on?
The description mentions "seersucker stripe fabric" for some options and "all over print options." For this specific striped variant, it is likely a print or part of the fabric weave, contributing to its stylish look.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel uncomfortable or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Regatta size guide if available. Swimwear should fit snugly but not be uncomfortably tight.
Fabric appears to be stretching out or losing shape.
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially rinsing after each use and air drying. Exposure to high heat or harsh chemicals can degrade the elastane, leading to loss of shape.
Striped pattern seems to be fading.
Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove chlorine or saltwater. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, and follow recommended washing procedures to preserve color.

Product Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your bikini shorts. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse your shorts thoroughly with cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sunscreen.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
