Swimwear Fitting and Care Advice
We use the Xlance Eco fabric for all new custom printed Delfina stock and the fabric has a great stretch, so please make sure the suit is not too baggy to start off with. It needs to be nice and tight on your body, to achieve the ideal shape in the water.
The 100% Polyester swimwear is harder to stretch.
To extend the life of your swimwear, avoid using washing machines, detergents, or dryers. Instead, rinse your swimsuit immediately after use and hang it to dry away from direct heat. For deeper cleaning, hand-wash with mild dish soap. Improper care, such as machine washing or using dryers, will void any warranty.
Frequently asked questions
Lycra (also known as Spandex or Elastane) is always mixed with another fibre, usually polyamide (known also as nylon) to give it resilience and stretch. A Lycra swimsuit will generally last less than 2-3 months if exposed to chlorine regularly, it will fade and becomes baggy as the chlorine breaks down the fibres.
Lycra swimwear is a choice for leisure swimmers and those who seldom visit the pool, swim in open water or take a dip on holiday. The material is soft against the skin, very comfortable and the prices are generally cheaper.
Xtra Life Lycra delivers the properties of Lycra, such as the soft feeling and beautiful fit but also gives swimwear a longer life with less fading and without becoming as baggy. Xtra Life Lycra is resistant to chlorine and pool chemicals 5 - 10 times longer than regular Elastane. This makes Xtra Life Lycra an excellent choice as fitness or training swimwear for male and females. But choose a swimsuit with a high Polyester content and less Lycra, for longer life.
We sell Xtra Life Lycra swimwear in both www.acquawear.com (Korean Swimwear and Kneesuits) and www.curvybathers.com (Kneesuits) shops. Our Korean made swimsuits (Jkuss, Hoog and TSNine) are extremely popular with divers, because of the outstanding prints, soft and body hugging fabrics and modern multi strap styles with Lycra content 18 – 30%, see individual listings.
Chlorine-proof swimwear is made from 100% Polyester or PBT fabrics, known for their durability and long lifespan. These materials resist chlorine damage, maintaining their shape and color longer than Lycra-based fabrics. Acquawear offers a range of chlorine-proof swimwear, including custom printed Delfina suits and Korean brands like Jkuss, Hoog, and TSNine.
