Product Information
Full details
The Babolat Play Skirt is designed for active women seeking comfort and performance during athletic activities. Its key win is the combination of moisture-wicking fabric and chafe-preventing seams, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable while pushing your limits. A minor consideration is that, as a skirt, it does not include integrated shorts, which some users might prefer for certain sports.

FAQs
Does the Babolat Play Skirt have built-in shorts?
No, the Babolat Play Skirt is designed as a standalone skirt and does not feature integrated shorts. For activities where built-in compression or coverage is preferred, you may wish to wear separate athletic shorts underneath.
What is 'Dri-FIT technology'?
Dri-FIT technology is a high-performance, microfiber polyester fabric that moves sweat away from your body and to the fabric surface, where it evaporates. This helps keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Is this skirt suitable for swimming?
While the polyester fabric can withstand water, the Babolat Play Skirt is specifically designed for athletic activities like tennis, training, and general fitness, not for swimming. Its fit and features are optimized for land-based sports.
How do I choose the right size?
The product is a UK Size 14 for women. For optimal fit, measure your waist and hips and compare them to Babolat's official sizing chart, if available. A proper fit ensures the elasticated waistband is comfortable without being too tight or loose.
Can I wear this skirt for casual everyday use?
Yes, while designed for athletic performance, its neutral white color and stylish design make it suitable for casual wear, especially for active individuals on the go or during light leisure activities.
What kind of activities is this skirt best for?
This skirt is ideal for various athletic activities including tennis, badminton, pickleball, gym workouts, running, and general training where comfort, moisture management, and freedom of movement are desired.
Troubleshooting
The skirt feels uncomfortable or causes chafing.
Ensure you have the correct size; a skirt that is too tight or too loose can cause friction. Check your undergarments for proper fit and material. While flatlock seams are designed to prevent chafing, personal body shape and activity type can influence comfort.
The skirt doesn't seem to wick moisture effectively.
Review your washing routine. Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fibers, reducing their moisture-wicking capability. Ensure you are washing it without softener and rinsing thoroughly. Also, ensure the skirt is fully dry before wear.
Fabric appears snagged or damaged after use/wash.
Polyester is durable, but snags can occur from rough surfaces or sharp objects. Always wash the skirt with similar, non-abrasive items. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or velcro that could catch the fabric. If line drying, ensure it's not snagged on a clothesline.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started

Compatibility
The Babolat Play Skirt is designed for adults and is compatible with a wide range of athletic tops, sports bras, and footwear.

Product Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Babolat Play Skirt, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, as it can damage the fabric and its moisture-wicking properties.
- Fabric Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners. They can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its ability to wick moisture.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. Air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and performance features.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with any printed logos or branding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the skirt is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
