FAQs

What is LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is a specialized elastane designed to resist fiber breakage from chlorine, lotions, and UV exposure. This significantly extends the lifespan of the swimwear, making it last up to 10 times longer than garments with ordinary elastane.

How should I wash my Slazenger Boyleg Swimsuit?

The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. We recommend using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. It's best to place it in a mesh laundry bag to protect it, then air dry flat or hang in the shade, away from direct sunlight or high heat.

Is this swimsuit suitable for daily swimming?

Yes, absolutely. The Slazenger LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ Boyleg Swimsuit is specifically designed for frequent and regular use, thanks to its exceptional chlorine resistance and shape-retentive properties, ensuring it withstands daily wear and tear.

What does 'boyleg' mean for a swimsuit?

A boyleg cut refers to the style of the leg opening. Instead of a high-cut or traditional brief, it extends further down the thigh, resembling short shorts or boy-cut underwear, offering more coverage and a secure feel.

Is the material eco-friendly?

Yes, the swimsuit is made with 82% recycled nylon, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and conserving resources. This makes it a more eco-conscious choice.

What is the benefit of the racer-back design?

The racer-back design provides enhanced support and allows for maximum freedom of movement in the shoulders and arms. This is particularly beneficial for active swimmers, as it minimizes strap slippage and allows for an unhindered stroke.

How long can I expect this swimsuit to last?

With proper care, thanks to the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is designed to last up to 10 times longer than standard swimwear that uses ordinary elastane. Its longevity depends on frequency of use and adherence to care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the fabric is shape-retentive, it should not feel painfully restrictive. Compare your measurements to the brand's sizing chart. Over time, the fabric may slightly conform to your body.

Fabric appears to be losing its shape or elasticity.

Verify you are following the recommended care instructions, especially machine washing at 40 degrees and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. While LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is highly durable, improper care can shorten its lifespan. Ensure it's not exposed to excessive heat during drying.

Color seems to be fading prematurely.

Always rinse your swimsuit thoroughly with cool, clean water immediately after each use, especially after swimming in chlorinated or saltwater. This helps remove chemicals that can cause fading. Ensure you are washing it at the correct temperature and not using bleach.

Stitching coming undone.

Inspect the swimsuit for any snags or tears that might have led to stitching issues. If the swimsuit is relatively new and stitching is failing, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Info needed: *Contact customer service or the retailer for potential warranty options.*

Compatibility

Its LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber provides enhanced resistance to chlorine and salt water, making it a versatile choice for various water activities.

Care Instructions

Proper care will significantly extend the life of your swimsuit, especially given its advanced fabric properties:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly in cool, clean water to remove chlorine, salt, and body oils.
  2. Machine Wash: Machine washable at `40 degrees` Celsius.
  • Place the swimsuit in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from snags and tangles.
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down elastic fibers.
  1. Do Not Bleach: Bleach will degrade the fabric and its color.
  2. Dry Flat/Hang Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay flat or hang in the shade to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat, which can damage the elastic fibers.
  3. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful when sitting on rough pool decks or abrasive surfaces, as this can cause pilling or damage to the fabric.

Following these care steps will help maintain the swimsuit's shape, color, and chlorine-resistant properties for years of enjoyment.
