FAQs

Is the material chlorine-resistant?

The suit is made from polyester and elastane, which provides good durability, but thorough rinsing after pool use is recommended to maintain the fabric integrity.

Does this swimsuit offer UV protection?

While the fabric provides coverage, it is not explicitly rated as UPF swimwear. Always use sunscreen on exposed areas.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

No, it is recommended to air dry the item in the shade to protect the elastic fibers and the print quality.

How do I choose the right size?

This variant is designed for 12-18 month olds. Reference your child's usual clothing size in other garments for the best fit.

Does the frill trim get in the way during play?

No, the frill is decorative and designed to lay flat, ensuring it doesn't restrict movement during active play.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels tight when putting on

Ensure the swimsuit is fully dry before dressing, as damp skin creates more friction; ensure the internal lining is not bunched up.

Print fading after repeated pool use

This is often due to high chlorine levels. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after every swim to neutralize chemicals.
