FAQs
How does the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ feature benefit me?
The LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber provides exceptional resistance to chlorine and heat, making your swimsuit last up to 10 times longer than those made with ordinary elastane. This means extended durability and shape retention for frequent pool use.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily or frequent swimming?
Yes, absolutely. Its chlorine-resistant properties and durable fabric make it an ideal choice for regular lap swimming, water fitness classes, or frequent recreational use without significant wear and tear.
What does 'boyleg' mean for the swimsuit's cut?
The 'boyleg' design refers to the leg opening that extends slightly down the thigh, offering more coverage than a traditional high-cut or medium-cut swimsuit. It provides a modest and comfortable fit.
Can I put this swimsuit in a tumble dryer?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid tumble drying. High heat can degrade the LYCRA® fibers and affect the fabric's elasticity and shape retention. Always air dry your swimsuit by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade.
What is the fabric composition and is it environmentally friendly?
The swimsuit is composed of 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra. The inclusion of recycled nylon highlights an effort towards more sustainable material choices.
How do I ensure the best fit?
To find your best fit, refer to standard UK dress sizing. This swimsuit is designed to be shape-retentive, so a snug but comfortable fit that allows full range of motion is ideal. If between sizes, consider your personal preference for compression versus relaxed fit.
Can I use this swimsuit in saltwater (ocean/sea)?
While the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ offers resistance, prolonged exposure to saltwater, like chlorine, can still impact fabric longevity. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming in the ocean to minimize salt damage.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels stretched or has lost its shape.
While designed for shape retention, improper care can affect this. Always rinse immediately after use and machine wash at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and tumble drying. Ensure you selected the correct size initially.
Fabric appears discolored or feels rough.
This is often due to prolonged exposure to chlorine or chemicals. Always rinse your swimsuit thoroughly with cool, clean water immediately after swimming. Follow the machine washing instructions carefully to remove chemical residues.
Racer-back design feels restrictive.
Although designed for freedom of movement, if it feels restrictive, the swimsuit might be too small for your build. Consult the size guide and consider trying a larger size if discomfort persists.
