FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for this swimsuit?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is specifically engineered to resist the damaging effects of chlorine, lotions, and body oils. This means your swimsuit will last up to 10 times longer than those made with ordinary elastane, retaining its shape and fit even with frequent use in chlorinated water.
Can I machine wash this swimsuit?
Yes, this swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Always use a mild detergent and avoid bleach to protect the fabric's integrity. For best results, place it in a laundry bag.
What is the material composition of the swimsuit?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra. This blend provides durability, stretch, comfort, and contributes to sustainability.
Is this swimsuit suitable for frequent swimming in a pool?
Absolutely. The LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber makes this swimsuit highly suitable for frequent use in chlorinated swimming pools, offering superior resistance to chlorine degradation compared to standard swimwear.
How should I dry the swimsuit?
You should air dry your swimsuit. Lay it flat or hang it in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and reduce the swimsuit's lifespan.
Does the swimsuit offer any UV protection?
The product description does not explicitly state a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is advisable to use additional sun protection, such as sunscreen, during prolonged sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the fabric is designed for shape retention and a snug fit, it should not be restrictive. Consult the size chart if unsure. Some initial snugness is normal for shape-retentive swimwear.
Fabric appears dull or discolored after use
Thoroughly rinse the swimsuit with cold, clean water immediately after every use to remove chlorine, salt, and other chemicals. Ensure you are washing it at 40 degrees Celsius with a mild detergent and air-drying it away from direct sunlight.
Elasticity seems to be diminishing prematurely
Although made with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ for enhanced durability, improper care can still affect elasticity. Always avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, hot water washing, and tumble drying, which can break down elastane fibers. Ensure thorough rinsing after each swim.
Swimsuit retains a chlorine smell
A persistent chlorine smell indicates that not all chemicals are being washed out. Rinse thoroughly with cold water immediately after swimming. Consider adding a small amount of white vinegar to the wash cycle (after confirming compatibility with fabric care) or using a specialized swimwear detergent to neutralize odors.
