To ensure the longevity of your swimwear, there are a few things you need to know so that you enjoy countless wears of your bikini.

SEASKAPE currently offers two types of swim fabrics in our swim collections:
NEOPRENE & NYLON/SPANDEX BIKINIS.
To check the fabrication of your swimwear, please read the "Design Details" tab of each product carefully.

To ensure you get the best quality and lifespan out of our product, please follow these steps:

 

NYLON/SPANDEX BIKINIS

• High amounts of chlorine and salt water can ruin your bikini, make sure to wash immediately after use
• Hand wash with cold water only and with very light mild soapy water (no strong detergents)
• Do not machine wash or bleach
• Do not iron, dry clean or spin dry
• Lay flat to dry under shade naturally
• Colour may fade with direct sunlight, salt exposure and first contact to any liquid
• Certain tanning oils, sunscreens and fake tanning products can stain or damage your bikini
• Metal hardware attached to your bikini, we advise to rinse straight after liquid contact to protect the mechanics and quality of its features

 

NEOPRENE BIKINIS 

• High amounts of chlorine and salt water can ruin your bikini, make sure to wash immediately after use
• Hand wash with cold water only and with very light mild soapy water (no strong detergents)
• Do not machine wash or bleach
• Do not iron, dry clean or spin dry
• Lay flat to dry under shade naturally
• Store flat and not folded as folding will cause creases
• Colour may fade with direct sunlight, salt exposure and first contact to liquid
• Certain tanning oils, sunscreens and fake tanning products can stain or damage your bikini
• Avoid sitting on sand directly when the neoprene bikini is wet
• Metal hardware attached to your bikini, we advise to rinse straight after liquid contact to protect the mechanics and quality of its features

At any point should there be a crease in your bikini, we recommend that you iron (low heat) the bikini inside out, with a cloth over and not to place the iron directly on to Neoprene.

Neoprene fabric expands when wet and certain particles of sand can get caught in between the fabric. At any point should this happen, soak your bikini for a few minutes and swish it vigorously or you can rub the fabric gently against itself to encourage the sand particles to fall out. 

Due to Neoprene having a snug fit, some with sensitive skin should take caution for this fabric as some may develop minor heat rash. Unfortunately this is uncontrollable from our end and we do not take responsibility for this and the purchase is at your sole discretion.

 

WHAT IS NEOPRENE FABRIC?
The feel of Neoprene fabric is different to the standard bikini you have worn before and very versatile to work with.

Neoprene is slightly thicker than the standard bikini fabric so it works it magic by holding everything in and stays in place all day long! Not to mention this fabric feels super comfortable! It sits nicely on all different body shapes and sizes due to the sublime soft luxurious fit and greater resistance to stretch.

Unlike the standard bikinis which loses its shape over time, the neoprene keeps it shape, allowing you to enjoy countless wears of your bikini all summer long!

Due to the nature of the Neoprene fabric, they are designed to be worn with a snug fit.
