FAQs

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While durable for pool use, this swimsuit is designed with a focus on comfort and regular swimming rather than elite competition. For competitive swimming, you might consider models with specific performance-enhancing features.

How do I ensure the recycled polyamide provides good performance?

Recycled polyamide offers similar performance characteristics to virgin polyamide in terms of durability and flexibility. The inclusion of elastane ensures the suit maintains its shape and provides necessary stretch.

Can I wear this swimsuit in the sea?

The swimsuit is designed for pool swimming. While it can be worn in the sea, it's essential to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately afterward to remove salt and prevent damage to the fabric and elastic.

What does 'non-padded' and 'non-underwired' mean for the fit?

'Non-padded' means there are no removable or built-in foam cups. 'Non-underwired' means there is no metal or plastic support structure. This results in a more natural feel and greater flexibility.

How do I know if the UK size 12 is the right fit for me?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, which usually correlates UK dress sizes with measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Ensure you measure accurately before purchasing.

What is the benefit of using recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide helps to conserve resources and reduce waste. It involves reprocessing pre-consumer or post-consumer polyamide waste into new yarn, lessening the environmental impact associated with producing virgin materials.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide against your measurements. For minor looseness, ensure the suit is fully dry before assessing fit. For tightness, check if the care instructions have been followed, as improper washing can affect fabric.

Color fading or fabric thinning

This can occur with prolonged exposure to chlorine and sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly with cold, fresh water immediately after swimming and dry away from direct sunlight. Follow all care instructions carefully.

Straps feel uncomfortable

Ensure the swimsuit is the correct size. If discomfort persists, this style might not be suitable for your body shape. The fixed straps are designed for a secure fit and do not offer adjustability.
