FAQs

What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified mean?

It means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.

How do I choose between my normal size and a larger size?

Choose your normal size to experience the full shaping power and supportive fit. If you prefer a more relaxed feel and less compression, select one size larger.

Can I use this swimsuit for competitive swimming?

While it offers good support and a sleek design, it is primarily intended for recreational swimming, aquafitness, and wellness. For competitive swimming, specialized racing suits might offer different performance characteristics.

Is the padding removable?

Yes, the swimsuit features a comfortable built-in bra with removable cups, allowing you to customize your level of support and modesty.

How long will the chlorine resistance last?

The fabric is designed to be chlorine-resistant, which significantly extends its lifespan compared to standard swimwear. Proper care, including immediate rinsing after use, will maximize its durability.

What is the benefit of the Power Mesh technology?

Power Mesh technology is incorporated to provide targeted support and compression, specifically helping to define and streamline the waist area for a smoother silhouette.

What activities is this swimsuit best suited for?

It is ideal for pool swimming, aquafitness, beach visits, and general wellness activities where comfort, support, and a flattering shape are desired.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Consider trying a size up. The shaping features are designed to be snug; if you prioritize comfort over maximum shaping, a larger size might be more suitable.

Discoloration or loss of elasticity after pool use.

Ensure the swimsuit is thoroughly rinsed in cold, fresh water immediately after each pool session. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.

Straps digging into shoulders.

Adjust the neck strap to a looser setting. Ensure the built-in bra cups are correctly positioned.

Fabric feels less smooth or less supportive over time.

Follow the recommended care instructions carefully, especially regarding rinsing and avoiding chemicals like bleach or fabric softeners.
