FAQs
What material are the Regatta Aceana Bikini Shorts made from?
They are made from soft-touch stretch polyester fabric, which offers comfort, flexibility, and quick-drying properties.
How much coverage do these bikini shorts offer?
These bikini shorts are designed to sit above the hip and provide enhanced bottom coverage, offering more modesty than traditional bikini bottoms while still maintaining a stylish look.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
While some polyester items can be machine washed, hand washing in cold water with mild detergent is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity, color, and stretch properties. Avoid bleach.
How should I dry my bikini shorts?
Lay them flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the fabric and cause fading.
Are these shorts suitable for intense water sports?
Yes, the stretch fabric and secure fit make them suitable for a range of water activities, from swimming to beach sports, providing comfort and ease of movement.
Will the striped pattern fade over time?
To minimize fading, it's crucial to follow the care instructions: rinse immediately after use, hand wash in cold water, and dry in the shade. Polyester is generally resistant to fading, but improper care can accelerate it.
Do these shorts have UV protection?
> Info needed: Specific UV protection rating for the fabric is not provided. While polyester offers some inherent UV resistance, for dedicated sun protection, consider additional measures or products with a UPF rating.
Troubleshooting
Bikini shorts feel too tight or too loose.
Refer to the Regatta sizing chart to ensure you have the correct size. Swimwear fit can vary, and personal preference plays a role. If possible, try different sizes to find your ideal comfort level.
Fabric seems to be fading after a few washes.
Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully. Harsh detergents, bleach, hot water, and direct sunlight during drying can accelerate fading. Always rinse after use and hand wash with mild soap in cold water, then dry flat in the shade.
Fabric feels rough or irritated after swimming.
This can sometimes be due to chlorine or salt residue. Always rinse your bikini shorts thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming. Also, ensure your skin is well-rinsed and moisturized after swimming activities.
Shorts are not drying as quickly as expected.
While polyester is quick-drying, factors like high humidity, lack of air circulation, or being heavily saturated can affect drying time. Ensure the shorts are laid flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct sun, and gently squeeze out excess water before drying.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Aceana Bikini Short:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sand.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Wringing can damage the stretch fabric.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Dry the shorts flat in the shade. Direct sunlight or high heat from a dryer can cause fading and break down the polyester fibers over time.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be cautious when sitting on abrasive surfaces (e.g., concrete, rough pool edges) as this can cause snagging or pilling of the fabric.
- Store Properly: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
