FAQs

Does this bikini top come with matching bottoms?

No, the matching bikini bottoms are sold separately. You can often find them listed with a similar product name or code.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection.

Can the straps be removed or styled differently?

Yes, the straps are removeable and adjustable, allowing for multiway styling options to suit your preference and outfit.

What material is the bikini top made of?

The main fabric is a blend of 85% polyester and 15% elastane, with a seersucker stripe fabric section made of 51% polyester, 33% polyamide, and 16% elastane.

Is the padding in the cups removable?

The description mentions 'Removeable adjustable straps' but not explicitly removable pads. Typically, if pads are removable, it's mentioned. Check the specific garment's construction; often, they can be carefully eased out.

How should I wash this bikini top?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly after each use. Avoid bleach, wringing, ironing, and tumble drying.

What sizes are available?

The specific listing is for Size UK 8. However, the Regatta Aceana III Bikini Top is available in a range of other UK sizes and various other colors and patterns, indicated by variant siblings.

Troubleshooting

Straps are slipping or not staying in place.

Ensure the adjustable sliders are tightened correctly. If the elastic has lost its stretch over time, the straps may need replacement, or it may be time to consider a new top.

Fading of color after a few uses.

Ensure the garment is rinsed immediately after swimming in chlorine or saltwater. Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent and always dry flat in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight.

Pads are bunching or uncomfortable.

Carefully remove the pads (if possible per design) and reposition them. Ensure the garment is the correct size; too small a size can cause discomfort and bunching.

Reduced elasticity or sagging.

This is often a result of age and wear, or improper care (e.g., high heat, harsh detergents). Follow care instructions carefully to prolong elasticity. Consider replacing the item if elasticity is significantly compromised.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and quick-drying material suitable for water activities.

Cons

  • Matching bikini bottoms are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase.
  • As a non-wired top, it may offer less structured support for larger busts compared to underwired options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

The Aceana Bikini Top requires minimal setup. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly for your comfort and desired fit. The padded cups are integrated and generally do not require adjustment, though they can sometimes be repositioned if needed.

Compatibility:

This bikini top is designed for adult women. It is compatible with Regatta's range of matching bikini bottoms and summer hats, often found under separate product codes (e.g., RWC187 for hats). While designed with Regatta separates in mind, the versatile design may also pair well with other plain or subtly patterned swimwear.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and UPF protection of your bikini top:

  1. Rinse After Use: Always rinse thoroughly with cold, fresh water after each use to remove chlorine, salt, and sand.
  2. Hand Wash: Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the fabric.
  4. Dry Flat: Lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors and degrade fabric over time.
  5. Avoid High Temperatures: Do not iron or tumble dry. High heat can damage the fabric and elastic.
  6. Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of abrasive surfaces that could snag the fabric.
