Troubleshooting
Swim trunks not drying quickly
Ensure the fabric is not overly saturated with fabric softener, which can impede drying. Check that the care instructions for washing with mild soap and avoiding softener are followed.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawstring to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Velcro on back pocket is not working effectively
Ensure the velcro is clean and free of debris. If it remains ineffective, it may be due to wear or damage, and care should be taken to secure items using alternative methods if necessary.
Material feels stiff after washing
This may be due to not using fabric softener, as per care instructions. The material is designed for performance and may have a different feel than standard cotton. Ensure you are using a mild soap and not excessive amounts of detergent.
