FAQs
What is the primary material of this swimsuit?
The swimsuit is primarily made from a blend of 85% recycled polyester and 15% elastane.
Does this swimsuit have underwire support?
No, this swimsuit features non-wired, foam padded cups for comfortable support.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for general swimming, its design is more focused on style and comfort for leisure activities rather than high-performance competitive swimming.
How should I clean the swimsuit?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
What does 'recycled materials' mean in the product description?
It means the polyester used in the fabric is derived from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
Can I wear this swimsuit in a hot tub?
It is recommended to rinse the swimsuit thoroughly after exposure to hot tub chemicals, as they can be harsher than typical pool chlorine and may affect the fabric's integrity over time.
What sizes are available for this Orla Kiely swimsuit?
This specific listing is for UK size 12. Other sizes may be available, check the product listings for other options (e.g., UK 8, 10, 14, 16).
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit losing elasticity
Ensure you rinse thoroughly after each use and avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, or ironing, which can degrade the elastane fibers.
Color fading
Dry the swimsuit away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause colors to fade over time.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Verify you have selected the correct size. The elastane blend provides stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and support. Check the product's size guide.
