FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% or more of harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for your skin.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
No, these bikini shorts are 'Hand wash only'. Machine washing can damage the delicate stretch fabric and impact its shape and elasticity.
What material are these shorts made from?
They are made from 85% polyester and 15% elastane, providing a soft-touch, stretchy, and quick-drying fabric ideal for swimwear.
How do I choose the right size?
The product is listed as Size: 14 (UK Women's Dress Size). For the best fit, consult Regatta's official sizing chart and compare your body measurements. Swimwear should feel comfortably snug.
Will the Blue Abstract Print fade in chlorinated water?
While the fabric is designed for swimwear, prolonged exposure to high levels of chlorine without proper rinsing can potentially cause some fading over time. Always rinse your shorts immediately after swimming in chlorinated pools.
Are these suitable for active water sports?
Yes, the soft-touch stretch fabric and reliable coverage make them suitable for a range of activities, from swimming to beach sports, providing comfort and freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size (UK Women's Dress Size 14). Refer to Regatta's sizing guide for accurate measurements. Swimwear should feel snug but not restrictive.
Print appears to be fading after use.
Always hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry in the shade. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals (like high chlorine concentrations) or direct sunlight during drying can cause fading. Rinse thoroughly after each swim.
Fabric irritation after swimming.
Thoroughly rinse your bikini shorts and your skin with fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine, salt, or sunscreen residues. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.

Compatibility
These bikini shorts are designed to be versatile. They can be easily paired with various bikini tops, tankini tops, or rash guards.

They are suitable for all adult female swimwear needs.
Care
To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your bikini shorts, follow these essential care instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: After each use, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid hot water, harsh chemicals, or bleach.
- Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not twist or wring the fabric, as this can damage the elasticity and shape.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat from a dryer, which can cause fading and break down the elastane fibers.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough surfaces (like concrete or rocks) to prevent snags or pilling.
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse thoroughly after swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater to remove residues that can degrade the fabric over time.
