These trunks offer peace of mind with UPF 50+ protection and a comfortable, eco-conscious material blend, though the specific hand-wash requirement necessitates a bit of extra effort compared to machine-washable alternatives.

FAQs
Are these trunks suitable for use in salt water?
Yes, they are designed for water play, but make sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine.
What does the Oeko-Tex certification mean?
It means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of substances that could be dangerous to human health.
Can I machine wash these trunks?
The manufacturer recommends hand washing in cold water to maintain the lifespan and protective quality of the recycled fabric.
Do I still need to use sunscreen?
Yes, while the fabric provides UPF 50+ protection for covered areas, you should always apply sun protection to your baby's exposed skin.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the 20% elastane content ensures the trunks are flexible and comfortable for a growing infant.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after swimming in a pool
Chlorine residue can stiffen the nylon; ensure you rinse the trunks thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after leaving the pool.
Fading of the print
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying and always wash inside out in cold water to preserve the vibrant print.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the trunks are made from specialized recycled nylon, it is important to follow care instructions to maintain both the elasticity and the sun-protective properties of the fabric. Always hand wash the garment in cold water after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove residues that might break down the material fibers. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the integrity of the fabric's protective coating. Air dry in the shade to prevent fading of the Reef Time print.
