Troubleshooting
Swimsuit not absorbing as expected
Ensure the swimsuit has been washed before first use. Check that no harsh detergents or fabric softeners were used during washing, as these can impact absorbency. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Swimsuit feels damp after use
This is normal as the absorbent layer holds moisture. For maximum comfort, rinse and wash the swimsuit as soon as possible after swimming. Ensure it is fully air-dried before storing.
Water marks or discoloration
While the material is chlorine-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh pool chemicals or strong sunlight without rinsing may cause some fading. Rinse thoroughly after each use and dry out of direct sunlight.
