FAQs

Can the straps be removed completely?

No, the straps are fully adjustable and convertible but are permanently attached to the body of the suit.

Is the fabric eco-friendly?

Yes, the swimsuit is crafted from polyester incorporating recycled fibers.

Does this suit provide push-up support?

The Zip Tide is a non-wired, sculpting suit that prioritizes comfort and a natural shape rather than providing a push-up effect.

How do I secure the front zipper?

The zipper includes a locking mechanism; simply pull the tab down to lock it in place once you have adjusted your preferred neckline depth.

Is the suit fully lined?

Yes, it is fully lined to ensure opacity and provide a smooth, sculpting silhouette.

Will the red color fade in chlorine?

While the fabric is durable, all swimwear should be rinsed with fresh water immediately after swimming in pools to minimize the chemical effects of chlorine on the dye.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and verify that the swan hook is properly aligned before attempting to zip.

Straps are slipping during movement

Adjust the tension on the slider to ensure a snug fit; if wearing them crossed, ensure the hook is securely fastened at the back.

Pros and Cons

  • Convertible straps accommodate different swimwear needs

  • Fully-lined design offers extra opacity and shaping
  • Soft, matte scuba fabric provides a premium feel

  • Specific maintenance required to keep the zipper mechanism functioning smoothly
  • Polyester material may feel warmer in extreme direct sun than lighter cotton-blends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Zip Tide swimsuit, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the swimsuit in fresh, cool water after contact with chlorine or salt water to prevent fabric degradation.
  2. Hand Wash Only: Use a mild detergent and wash by hand to preserve the integrity of the recycled fibers and the zipper mechanism.
  3. Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze excess water out rather than twisting the fabric, as this can damage the elasticity.
  4. Air Dry: Always dry the garment in the shade away from direct sunlight, which can fade the red color over time.
  5. Zipper Maintenance: Ensure the zipper is completely closed before storage to prevent snagging on other items in your travel bag.
