FAQs
What kind of support do the cups offer?
The tankini top features non-wired padded cups that offer gentle shaping and support. They are designed for comfort rather than high-impact activity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing guide. It is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hip for the most accurate fit, paying close attention to the UK dress size provided.
Can the straps be removed completely?
The straps are removable and adjustable. This allows for multiway styling and can offer more flexibility depending on how you prefer to wear your swimwear.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ signifies 'Ultraviolet Protection Factor'. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.
Is this tankini top suitable for swimming laps?
While comfortable for general swimming and water activities, the non-wired design and focus on flattering fit might make it less ideal for intense lap swimming compared to performance-specific swimwear. It is well-suited for leisure swimming and beach wear.
How should I care for the recycled fabric?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse well. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
Does this item come with matching bottoms?
No, this is a tankini top only and does not include matching bottoms. You will need to purchase bottoms separately.
Troubleshooting
Straps are uncomfortable or not staying in place.
Adjust the strap length using the provided adjusters. Ensure the straps are correctly threaded and secured. If the issue persists, try a different strap configuration (e.g., halter neck vs. standard).
Padded cups feel restrictive or offer too much padding.
While the padding is integrated, ensure the cups are positioned correctly for comfort. For less padding, consider looking for non-padded tankini options if this remains an issue.
Fabric feels stiff or less stretchy after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding detergent type and water temperature. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can degrade the elastane.
