FAQs
What makes the fabric 'premium'?
The fabric is premium due to its patented Sensitive Fabrics technology, which combines softness, support, body-shaping capabilities, chlorine resistance, UV protection, and quick-drying properties, all while being made from recycled polyamide.
How does the Power Mesh technology work?
Power Mesh is integrated into the swimsuit, typically around the waist area, to provide targeted compression and support, helping to define and streamline your silhouette for a smoother appearance.
Can I remove the cups from the built-in bra?
Yes, the built-in bra comes with removable cups, allowing you to adjust the level of padding and support according to your preference.
Is this swimsuit suitable for competitive swimming?
While designed for active women and pool swimming, its primary focus is on shaping and comfort. For competitive swimming where maximum flexibility and a very minimal profile are key, other specialized suits might be preferred.
What does 'B-cup' fitting mean?
The 'B-cup' designation refers to the intended fit of the built-in bra section of the swimsuit, designed to complement a B-cup bust size for optimal comfort and support.
How should I choose between my normal size and a larger size?
Choose your normal size for maximum shaping power and the most supportive fit. Choose a larger size if your priority is greater comfort and a less compressive feel.
Is the material truly eco-friendly?
Yes, the swimsuit is made with 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane, and importantly, 100% of the Polyamide used is recycled, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Consider ordering one size up for increased comfort, as recommended for a less shaping fit.
Swimsuit loses elasticity or shape over time.
Ensure proper care by rinsing thoroughly after each use and hand washing only with mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners.
Straps are uncomfortable or digging in.
Adjust the neck straps to the loosest setting initially. If discomfort persists, ensure you have selected the appropriate size; a different size might offer a better fit.
