FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% or more of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection for the skin it covers.
Can I wear these bikini shorts in chlorinated pools?
Yes, the polyester and elastane blend is designed to withstand exposure to chlorinated water. However, it's crucial to rinse them thoroughly with clean, cold water immediately after each use to prolong their lifespan.
How do I determine my size?
These shorts are available in UK women's dress sizes. It is recommended to consult a Regatta specific size guide if available, and measure your waist and hips to find the most accurate fit. This specific product is UK size 16.
Are these shorts quick-drying?
Yes, due to the high percentage of polyester in the fabric blend (85% Polyester, 15% Elastane), these bikini shorts are designed to dry quickly, enhancing comfort.
Can I machine wash these bikini shorts?
While hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is generally recommended for swimwear to maintain fabric integrity, if machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water in a mesh laundry bag and avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Always air dry.
Do these shorts offer full coverage?
Yes, these Aceana Bikini Shorts are cut to sit above the hip and are designed to provide good coverage for the bottom, offering a comfortable and confident feel.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your body measurements. Swimwear fit can be personal, so if the size feels off, consider trying an alternative size.
Fabric appears dull or stiff after washing.
Always rinse swimwear immediately after use to remove chlorine or salt. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and cold water for washing, and air dry them properly, avoiding high heat or harsh chemicals.
Color fading.
Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always rinse thoroughly after use in chlorinated water, as chlorine can accelerate color fading. Ensure proper storage away from direct light when not in use.
Fabric snagging or pilling.
Be cautious when interacting with rough surfaces like pool edges, concrete, or abrasive materials. Store separately to prevent friction with items that have zippers or sharp embellishments.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the quality of your bikini shorts. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions, but general guidelines include:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse the shorts thoroughly with cool, clean water. This helps remove chlorine, salt, and sand.
- Hand Wash Recommended: For best results, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and cause discoloration.
- Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight as prolonged exposure can fade colors and degrade elastane. Do not tumble dry.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended as high heat can damage the stretch fibers.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting or rubbing against rough surfaces (e.g., concrete, unpolished pool edges) as this can cause pilling or snagging.
