The Regatta Sakari Tummy Control Costume requires no complex setup. Simply don the costume as you would any other swimwear. Ensure it fits snugly but comfortably, as swimwear tends to relax slightly when wet. The costume is compatible with various water environments, including swimming pools, oceans, and spas. For optimal longevity and to maintain its supportive features and vibrant print, care instructions are crucial:
- Hand Wash Only: After each use, hand wash the costume in cool, fresh water. Use a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid hot water, as it can degrade the fabric's elasticity and color.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Especially after exposure to chlorine or saltwater, rinse the costume thoroughly to remove any chemical residue that can cause fabric damage or fading.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach will severely damage the fabric and cause discoloration.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from a tumble dryer can destroy the elastane fibers, leading to a loss of shape and elasticity. Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Dry Flat in Shade: Lay the costume flat to dry in a shaded area. Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the synthetic fibers and printed pattern.
