FAQs
What is UPF 50+ UV Protection?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent sun protection for the skin it covers.
Can I wear these bikini shorts for swimming in chlorine pools?
Yes, but it's crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after exiting the pool. Chlorine can degrade the fabric over time if not washed out properly.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Regatta Aceana Bikini Short is available in UK size 20. For optimal fit, refer to the Regatta size guide, comparing your measurements to ensure comfort and proper coverage.
Are these shorts quick-drying?
Yes, the polyester and elastane blend is designed to be quick-drying, making them convenient for travel and frequent use.
What material are the shorts made from?
They are primarily made from 85% polyester and 15% elastane, with a specific 200gsm soft-touch stretch fabric, ensuring comfort and durability.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
While hand washing in cold water is recommended for best care, if using a machine, select a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Place the shorts in a mesh laundry bag to protect them, and always air dry.
Will the polka dot print fade?
To minimize fading, always rinse after swimming, wash with mild detergent in cold water, and air dry in the shade. Excessive sun exposure and harsh chemicals can accelerate fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy or has lost shape.
This often occurs due to exposure to harsh chemicals like chlorine, excessive heat, or improper washing. Ensure you rinse the shorts immediately after use and hand wash with mild detergent, avoiding hot water and machine drying. Allowing the shorts to air dry flat helps maintain elasticity.
Color appears to be fading.
Fading can be caused by prolonged exposure to strong sunlight, chlorine, or harsh detergents. Always rinse your bikini shorts in fresh water after swimming. Wash using cold water and a mild detergent, and dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
UV protection seems less effective.
The UPF 50+ rating is durable, but continuous improper care can degrade the fabric over time. Ensure proper washing and drying to maintain the integrity of the material. If the fabric appears worn or thin, its protective qualities may be reduced, indicating it's time for a replacement.

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Aceana Bikini Short and preserve its UPF 50+ UV protection and fabric quality, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cool, fresh water.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- No Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the elastane fibers.
- Air Dry Flat: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Direct sunlight or high heat from a dryer can degrade the fabric and reduce UV protection.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be cautious of sitting on abrasive surfaces that could snag or damage the fabric.
- Store Properly: Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
