FAQs
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means that the fabric allows only 1/50th (or less) of the sun's ultraviolet radiation to pass through it, providing excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable and offering freedom of movement, these shorts are primarily designed for recreational swimming, beach activities, and sun protection rather than competitive racing which often requires specialized suits.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart and measure your waist and hip circumference. The shorts should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting movement.
Can I wear these for activities other than swimming?
Yes, their durable and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for various beach activities, light hiking, or as cover-ups.
What is the benefit of using recycled polyester?
Using recycled polyester reduces reliance on virgin materials, conserves energy, and minimizes waste, contributing to a more sustainable production cycle.
How should I store the bikini shorts when not in use?
Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing. Store them in a cool, dry place, folded neatly, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Swimwear feels too tight or loose
Check the size guide and compare with your measurements. Consider ordering a different size if the fit is not as expected.
Fading of color or loss of elasticity
Ensure proper care by rinsing after use, washing in cold water, and avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying.
Fabric feels rough after washing
This can sometimes happen if fabric softener is used, or if the garment is washed with abrasive materials. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and follow the no-fabric-softener recommendation if provided on the care label.
