FAQs

Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?

No, it is highly recommended to hand wash these shorts only. Machine washing can damage the fabric's elasticity and print vibrancy.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50 or higher. This means the fabric blocks 98% or more of harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent sun protection.

What material are these shorts made from?

They are made from a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane, providing a soft, comfortable, and stretchy fit.

Are these shorts suitable for active swimming?

Yes, the stretch fabric and secure fit make them suitable for active swimming and other water sports, while offering good coverage and comfort.

Do these bikini shorts come in other patterns or colors?

Yes, the Regatta Aceana Bikini Short line often features various patterns and color options. Please check the product listings for other available variants.

How do I ensure the print lasts longer?

To preserve the print, always hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and air dry flat in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, as these can cause fading.

What size should I order?

For the best fit, please refer to the Regatta size guide, usually available on the product page or the manufacturer's website. The shorts are designed to sit above the hip.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff or scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing the shorts thoroughly with cool water after washing. Residual detergent or mineral buildup from hard water can cause stiffness. You can also try adding a small amount of fabric conditioner designed for swimwear, if safe for elastane, during the rinse cycle.

Print appears to be fading or colors are dulling.

Fading can occur from prolonged exposure to chlorine, saltwater, or direct sunlight while drying. Always hand wash in cool water, rinse immediately after use, and air dry flat in the shade. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sun exposure during drying.

Shorts feel less stretchy or are losing shape.

Over-stretching, high heat (from hot water, tumble drying, or direct sun), and harsh chemicals can damage the elastane fibers. Ensure you are following the 'hand wash only' and 'air dry flat in shade' instructions to maintain fabric elasticity and shape.
