FAQs
Is this swim costume suitable for daily use?
Yes, made from durable polyester and designed with comfort in mind, this Regatta Sakari Swim Costume is suitable for regular use at the beach or pool, provided proper care instructions are followed after each wear.
Does the tummy control feature feel restrictive?
The tummy control in the Sakari Swim Costume is designed to offer gentle shaping and smoothing without feeling overly restrictive. It aims to provide comfort and confidence rather than extreme compression.
How should I store my swim costume when not in use?
Ensure the costume is completely dry before folding it neatly and storing it in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or damp environments to prevent damage to the fabric and color.
What does 'illusion panelling' actually do?
'Illusion panelling' refers to strategically placed patterns or mesh sections that use visual tricks to create a flattering silhouette, often enhancing curves or giving a slimming effect.
Is the supportive cup padded or underwired?
The product description mentions a 'supportive cup' but does not specify if it is padded or underwired. Info needed: [Specific cup construction details]
Can I machine wash this swim costume?
While the polyester material is robust, hand washing in cold water with mild detergent is strongly recommended to best preserve the fabric's elasticity, the supportive cup's shape, and the integrity of the illusion panelling and tummy control features.
Troubleshooting
Swim costume feels too tight or loose.
The fit of swimwear is crucial for comfort and support. Double-check your measurements against a standard size guide. If the fit is still not right, consider trying a different size or style to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness of the supportive features.
Fabric appears to be fading or losing elasticity.
This often occurs due to prolonged exposure to chlorine, salt, or harsh chemicals, and improper drying. Always rinse your costume immediately after use. Hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry flat in the shade. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying at high heat.
Supportive cup feels uncomfortable or moves around.
Ensure the costume is worn correctly and adjusted properly on your body. The supportive cup is designed for a snug fit. If discomfort persists, it might indicate an incorrect size or a need to re-evaluate the specific fit for your body type. Check that the straps (if applicable) are not too tight or too loose.
Illusion panelling is not creating the desired effect.
The effect of illusion panelling can vary slightly based on individual body shape and posture. Ensure the costume is smoothed out and sitting correctly on your body. Sometimes, a different lighting angle can also affect how the panelling appears.

- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist, as this can damage the fabric and shape.
- Air Dry Flat: Lay the costume flat in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers), which can cause fabric degradation and fading.
- Storage: Ensure the costume is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odors.
