FAQs
What does LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ mean for my swimsuit?
LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ is a specialized fiber designed to resist chlorine and retain its shape. This means your swimsuit will last up to 10 times longer than traditional swimwear made with ordinary elastane, making it more durable for frequent pool use.
Is this swimsuit suitable for daily swimming?
Yes, its chlorine-resistant properties and durable, shape-retentive fabric make it ideal for daily or frequent swimming, whether for fitness or leisure.
How should I wash this swimsuit?
Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Always rinse your swimsuit in cold, fresh water immediately after each use to remove chlorine. Air dry flat or hang in the shade; do not tumble dry.
What is the fabric composition?
The swimsuit is made from 82% Recycled Nylon and 18% Lycra (which includes the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber), offering both durability and a commitment to more sustainable materials.
What is a 'boyleg' swimsuit?
A 'boyleg' swimsuit features a cut that extends further down the thigh, similar to shorts, offering more coverage than a traditional high-cut swimsuit. This provides a secure and comfortable fit.
Will the black color fade quickly in chlorine?
Thanks to the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is designed to be highly resistant to chlorine degradation, which helps prevent color fading and fabric breakdown significantly better than standard swimwear. Proper care will further enhance its color retention.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels loose or stretched out quickly.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the fabric is shape-retentive, prolonged exposure to extreme heat (like hot tubs without rinsing) or harsh chemicals without proper care can affect elasticity. Always rinse thoroughly after use and follow washing instructions.
Fabric appears faded or dull.
This can be caused by prolonged exposure to chlorine or sun without proper rinsing. After each swim, rinse the swimsuit in fresh water. For washing, adhere to the 40-degree machine wash guideline and avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Discomfort around the shoulders or arms.
The racer-back design is intended for freedom of movement. If experiencing discomfort, double-check the sizing to ensure it's not too tight. A larger size may be needed if the straps are digging in.
