1. How do I know which swimsuit size to order online?
The best way to find your perfect fit is to take your bust, waist, and hip measurements and compare them to the specific size chart for each product. As sizing can vary between brands, taking your own measurements is the most reliable method for finding your fit online.
2. Which swimsuit styles are best for a pear-shaped or apple-shaped body?
Pear Shape (wider hips): Look for styles that draw attention upward, like bold prints, ruffles, or detailing on the top, with a more simple bottom.
Apple Shape (fuller midsection): One-piece swimsuits with ruching, shirring, or draping around the tummy area are incredibly flattering and offer great support and coverage.
3. What is the difference between Nylon and Polyester swimsuit fabric?
Nylon-spandex blends are known for being incredibly soft, comfortable, and having excellent stretch and color brightness. Polyester-spandex fabrics are generally more durable, lightweight, and retain their shape exceptionally well, making them great for long-lasting wear.
4. How do I wash my swimsuit to make it last?
To best care for your swimwear, follow these steps:
Rinse Immediately: Rinse your swimsuit in cool, fresh water right after swimming to remove chlorine, salt, sunscreen, and sweat.
Hand Wash Gently: Hand wash your suit in cold water with a mild, non-fragrant detergent.
Dry Flat: Lay your swimsuit flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing it out or putting it in a dryer.
