FAQs

What makes LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric special?

LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric is specifically engineered to resist damage from chlorine, sunscreen, and heat, offering up to 10 times more durability than standard elastane swimwear fabrics. This means it holds its shape and color for longer.

Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?

While designed for active women and athletic use, its primary focus is on durability and comfort for training and general water sports. For elite competitive swimming, specialized suits might offer different performance characteristics.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Slazenger sizing chart for accurate measurements. The swimsuit should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight, providing support and preventing drag.

Can I use this suit in a hot tub?

It is not recommended to use this swimsuit in hot tubs. The high temperatures and concentrated chemicals can degrade the LYCRA XTRA LIFE fibers more rapidly than in a standard pool or the ocean.

What does 'boyleg' refer to?

The 'boyleg' cut means the swimsuit has integrated shorts or a leg cut that extends to the upper thigh, providing fuller coverage than a traditional bikini or standard swimsuit leg.

How often should I wash my swimsuit?

It is best to rinse your swimsuit with fresh water after every use. A machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle is recommended periodically, following the care instructions on the garment's label.

What is the material composition?

The swimsuit is made from 82% recycled polyester and 18% LYCRA.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. Check that the care instructions have been followed, as improper washing can affect fabric elasticity.

Fabric losing elasticity or shape

This is uncommon with LYCRA XTRA LIFE fabric. If it occurs, ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after each use and washed according to care instructions. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat or harsh chemicals.

Discoloration of the fabric

Rinse immediately after use to remove chlorine or sunscreen. If discoloration persists, check that you are washing with like colors and using a mild detergent. Avoid drying in direct sunlight for extended periods.
