FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent sun protection.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. Generally, swimwear should fit snugly without digging in. The shorts should stay in place during movement without restricting circulation.
Can these bikini shorts be worn for casual activities like walking?
Yes, while designed for water activities, the quick-drying fabric and comfortable fit make them suitable for casual wear during warm weather or light exercise.
What should I pair these bikini shorts with?
They can be paired with any bikini top, tankini, or rash vest. The black color offers versatility, matching most styles and colors.
How should I wash the bikini shorts to maintain their UPF protection?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Rinse after use and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
Are these shorts suitable for very active water sports?
Yes, they are designed for active swims and water sports due to their secure fit and durable polyester material.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels tight or uncomfortable after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding detergent and water temperature. Avoid fabric softeners. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size.
Discoloration after sun exposure or chlorine.
Rinse thoroughly after each use. Use only mild detergents and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. If discoloration occurs, it may be due to high chlorine levels or specific pool treatments.
Seams feel restrictive during movement.
The garment is designed for active use, but ensure the size is correct. A slight break-in period might be needed. For intense activities, consider pairing with complementary swimwear that offers additional support if needed.
