FAQs

Can I wear these for competitive swimming?

Yes, the stretchy fabric and secure fit make them suitable for active swimming, although they are primarily designed for leisure and beach activity.

Does the UV protection wash out?

The UV 50+ rating is built into the fabric construction, but it can degrade over time due to heavy chemical exposure and improper washing. Following the care instructions will maximize its lifespan.

Are these bottoms true to size?

The product is sized according to standard UK women's dress sizing. If you prefer a looser fit, some users prefer to size up.

Can these be machine washed?

Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the elasticity and the integrity of the fabric's specialized finish.

Are these suitable for ocean swimming?

Yes, they are designed to be durable in both salt water and chlorinated water.

What is the primary material used?

These are made from a high-quality synthetic blend designed for stretch and water resistance, typically including polyester and elastane.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels loose or loses elasticity

This is often caused by heat damage from driers or iron; always use air-drying methods to preserve fabric memory.

White marks appearing on fabric

These are likely salt or chlorine deposits. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and gently hand wash to clear the residue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides enhanced sun protection with UV 50+ rating
  • Versatile design suitable for water and land activities
  • Comfortable, stretchy fit for all-day wear
  • Offers extra coverage compared to standard swimsuit bottoms

Cons

  • Longer length may result in uneven tan lines
  • Limited to a specific aesthetic that differs from traditional bikini styles
  • Requires proper rinsing to maintain fabric elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Active Long Swimsuit Bottoms, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After every use in a pool or the ocean, rinse the garment in cold, fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or sunscreen residue.
  2. Hand Wash Recommended: Use a mild detergent and wash by hand to protect the elastic fibers of the fabric.
  3. Air Dry Only: Avoid tumble drying or using a radiator, as heat can degrade the UV protection and the stretch capacity of the material. Hang dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
  4. Storage: Store the bottoms flat or folded in a cool, dry place once completely dry.
