FAQs

What is LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber?

LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber is a specialized elastane designed to resist fiber breakage and fabric loss of power caused by pool water, sunscreen, and heat, allowing garments to last longer.

How much longer does this swimsuit last compared to others?

Thanks to the LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ fiber, this swimsuit is designed to last up to 10 times longer than swimsuits made with ordinary elastane when exposed to chlorine.

Is this swimsuit environmentally friendly?

Yes, the fabric composition includes 82% Recycled Nylon, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Can I use this swimsuit for competitive swimming?

While highly durable and offering good freedom of movement, its primary design focus is on comfort and longevity for regular swimming and training rather than high-performance competitive racing.

What does 'boyleg' mean for the swimsuit style?

A boyleg swimsuit features a longer leg cut, providing more coverage around the upper thighs compared to traditional high-cut or classic swimsuits. It often provides a more modest and secure feel.

How should I store my swimsuit when not in use?

After ensuring it's clean and completely dry, store your swimsuit flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shape and fabric integrity.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels tight or uncomfortable despite choosing my usual size.

Swimsuit sizing can vary. Consult the Slazenger size guide if available to confirm your measurements align with the product's sizing. Consider trying a size up if the fit is consistently too snug.

Fabric appears to be stretching or losing its shape faster than expected.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially rinsing after use and washing at 40 degrees. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying, as these can damage the shape-retentive fibers.

Color seems to be fading quickly.

Chlorine exposure, even with resistant fabric, can still cause some fading over time. Always rinse the swimsuit in clean, cool water immediately after exiting the pool. Ensure it's not left to dry in direct, harsh sunlight for prolonged periods.

Chafing or irritation around leg openings or straps.

This could be due to an improper fit. Ensure the suit isn't too small. The 'boyleg' style should provide good coverage without digging in. If the issue persists, ensure there are no seams rubbing or if sizing up might help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ significantly extends the swimsuit's lifespan in chlorinated environments.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maximize the lifespan of your swimsuit, especially given its advanced chlorine-resistant properties.

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, especially in chlorinated water or saltwater, rinse the swimsuit thoroughly with cool, clean water. This helps remove residual chlorine, salt, and other chemicals.
  2. Machine Wash: The swimsuit is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius.
  3. Use Mild Detergent: Opt for a mild, non-bleach detergent.
  4. Wash Separately or with Similar Colors: To prevent color transfer, wash with similar colors.
  5. Avoid Softeners and Bleach: Fabric softeners can degrade elastic fibers, and bleach will damage the fabric.
  6. Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry your swimsuit by laying it flat or hanging it in the shade. Direct sunlight and high heat from a dryer can damage the Lycra fibers.
  7. Do Not Iron: Ironing can damage the synthetic fibers.
