Troubleshooting
Costume feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or style. Tummy control panels can take some getting used to.
Fabric is not drying quickly.
Ensure the costume is thoroughly rinsed to remove chlorine or salt. Wring out excess water gently before drying. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce absorbency.
Strap adjustment issues.
The cross-over straps are designed for a secure fit. If they feel uncomfortable or restrictive, ensure the main body of the costume fits correctly. This style does not typically have adjustable straps.
Padded cups shifting.
Gently reposition the padded cups. They are designed to stay in place during normal activity but may shift with vigorous movement. Ensure the costume fits snugly to help keep them aligned.
