FAQs
What material is the Fashy Pleated Fabric Swim Cap made of?
The cap is made from 100% Polyester PES with a plastic lining.
Is this swim cap waterproof?
This cap is designed to keep hair mostly dry and provide warmth, but it is not fully waterproof. Some water may seep in during prolonged submersion.
How do I clean the swim cap?
Rinse with cool, fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.
Will this cap fit my head?
The cap is designed as one size fits most, featuring an anatomically shaped rubber grip band for a secure fit. However, fit can vary based on individual head shape and size.
Can I wear this for competitive swimming?
This cap is best suited for recreational swimming, comfort, and style. For competitive swimming requiring a very tight, hydrodynamic fit, a silicone cap might be more appropriate.
Does it cover the ears?
Yes, the design includes coverage intended to help keep your ears warm and covered while swimming.
What are the advantages of the pleated design?
The ruched dividing seams create an elegant, stylish appearance, adding a fashionable touch to your swimwear.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Try adjusting the position of the rubber grip band. For a tighter fit, ensure it's centered around the head. For a looser fit, try positioning it slightly higher or lower. Due to the one-size nature, significant adjustments may not be possible.
Water seeps into the cap.
Ensure the rubber grip band is making a snug seal around your head. Check for any hair caught under the band. This cap is designed for comfort and general coverage, not full waterproofing.
Material feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water and avoiding harsh detergents. Air dry away from direct heat. The material should regain flexibility after use.
