FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the tummy control panel?
The tummy control panel is designed to offer a smoother, more flattering silhouette by gently shaping and controlling the midsection.
Is this swimming costume suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for active use, it is best suited for recreational swimming, holidays, and water fitness rather than competitive racing due to its design features like padded cups and tummy control.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the brand's specific size guide, usually available on the product page or retailer's website. Measure your bust, waist, and hips to find the best fit, paying attention to the UK dress size.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, indicating that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection.
Can I machine wash this swimming costume?
No, hand washing is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and the effectiveness of the tummy control and padding. Use a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Does the costume have underwire?
No, this is a non-wired swimming costume with padded cups for support.
Troubleshooting
Costume feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. For a tighter fit, consider a size down; for more room, consider a size up. Remember that the fabric has stretch.
Straps are digging in or uncomfortable
Check that the costume is the correct size. If the straps are consistently uncomfortable, ensure the cross-over back is properly aligned. Consider if a different style might be more suitable.
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the costume is thoroughly rinsed of chlorine or salt water, as residue can affect drying time. Squeeze out excess water gently and hang to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
