FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% or more of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent protection for covered skin.
Are these bikini shorts suitable for machine washing?
While technically possible on a very delicate, cold cycle with a mesh laundry bag, hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is strongly recommended to preserve the fabric's elasticity and color vibrancy over time.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Regatta size chart, often found on the product page. Swimwear should feel comfortably snug when dry, as it may stretch slightly when wet. If in doubt, consider your usual dress size.
Can I wear these for more active water sports?
These bikini shorts are designed for comfort and leisure. While suitable for light swimming, for high-impact water sports or surfing, you might prefer swimwear specifically designed with a more secure, athletic fit to prevent slippage.
Will the floral print bleed or run when wet?
Modern swimwear fabrics are designed to be colorfast. However, always rinse your shorts in cold water before the first wear and after each use to help maintain color integrity and prevent any potential dye transfer, especially with vibrant prints.
What kind of tops would best match these shorts?
The floral pattern makes it versatile. You can pair it with a matching floral top if available, or opt for solid-colored bikini tops in complementary shades like navy, white, pink, or even a soft green to pick up colors from the print.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears to be fading or losing elasticity.
This often occurs due to improper care. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly after each use, hand washing with cold water and mild detergent, and air drying in the shade away from direct sunlight. Chlorine, salt, and direct sun are primary culprits.
Bikini shorts feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Check your size against Regatta's sizing chart. Swimwear fit can vary, and a size that feels slightly snug when dry will often relax slightly when wet. If still uncomfortable, consider trying an alternative size.
Print vibrancy seems to diminish over time.
To protect the floral print, always rinse the shorts promptly after use, especially if exposed to chlorinated water or saltwater. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying, as these can accelerate fading.

Care: Proper care is crucial to extend the life of your bikini shorts and maintain their elasticity, print quality, and `UPF` protection. Always follow these guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the shorts thoroughly in cool, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, and sunscreen residues.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate garments or swimwear.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do *not* use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the elastane fibers and fade the print.
- Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not twist or wring the fabric forcefully.
- Air Dry Flat: Lay the bikini shorts flat on a clean, dry towel or hang them to air dry in the shade. *Avoid direct sunlight*, as prolonged exposure can fade colors and degrade elastic fibers.
- No Ironing: Do not iron the bikini shorts, as high heat can damage the fabric.
- Storage: Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
