Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers some give, but proper sizing is key for comfort and fit. Refer to the size guide if unsure.
Fabric appears stretched out after wear.
This can happen if the suit is overstretched or dried improperly. Always follow the 'dry flat' instruction and avoid wringing. If significant stretching occurs, it may be due to prolonged wear or incorrect care.
Shell hardware becomes discolored or damaged.
Handle the shell hardware gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning. If discoloration occurs, try gently wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after each use.
Swimsuit doesn't dry properly.
Ensure the swimsuit is laid flat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Avoid bunching the fabric. Proper drying is crucial to prevent mildew and maintain fabric integrity.
