UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection for the skin it covers.
No, the Regatta Aceana Bikini Short should be hand washed only. Machine washing can damage the fabric's stretch properties, print, and overall longevity. Always use cool water and a mild detergent.
They are made from a blend of 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane. This combination provides durability, stretch, comfort, and quick-drying capabilities.
These bikini shorts are designed for both casual beachwear and active swimming. The stretch fabric and secure fit make them comfortable and functional for various water activities.
The Regatta Aceana Bikini Short follows standard women's UK dress sizing. It is advisable to refer to the brand's specific size chart if available, or choose your usual UK dress size for a comfortable fit.
To minimize fading, always rinse the bikini shorts thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Following the hand wash only instruction and drying in the shade will also help preserve the print's vibrancy.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. While the fabric is stretchy (15% Elastane), an incorrect size may lead to discomfort. The fabric should conform without pinching.
Adhere strictly to the 'Hand wash only' instruction. Avoid harsh detergents, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying, and excessive rubbing. Chlorine and saltwater should be rinsed off promptly after use.
UPF 50+ protection is inherent in the fabric. Ensure the garment is covering the skin fully. If the fabric has been significantly stretched or damaged over time, its protective qualities may diminish. Proper care is key to maintaining fabric integrity.
Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and excessive wringing. The 15% Elastane gives it stretch and shape retention, but improper care, especially high heat, can degrade these properties. Always air dry flat in the shade.
The Regatta Aceana Bikini Short requires no special setup; simply wear it as you would any other swimwear. It is designed to be compatible with a wide range of bikini tops, tankini tops, or rash guards, allowing you to create various beach outfits. Ensure you select a top that complements the 'Blue Abstract Print' for a coordinated look. For care, it is crucial to follow the 'Hand wash only' instruction to maintain the integrity of the fabric, print, and UV protection properties. After use, rinse the short in cool, fresh water to remove chlorine or salt. Gently hand wash with a mild detergent, avoid wringing or twisting, and lay flat to dry in the shade to prevent fading and maintain shape. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as these can damage the material.
