Your Questions Answered
Welcome to our FAQ section! Here, we've compiled answers to some of the most common questions about our swimwear and sun protection. If you have any other questions, our customer support team is always here to help!
1. What makes your swimwear different from others on the market?
Our swimwear stands out for its exceptional sun protection, refined design, and sustainable innovation. Crafted from VITA and VITA PL fabrics from Carvico, global leader in performance textiles, our products offer a superior combination of ultra-thin, lightweight design, and exceptional protection with UPF50+. A gentle shield under the sun, without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
2. Why synthetic fibers instead of cotton?
While cotton may feel familiar, it absorbs water, becomes heavy, and offers minimal sun protection - particularly when untreated. Our high-performance fabrics are specifically engineered for waterwear: breathable, quick-drying, and soft against delicate skin. Crucially, they provide UPF 50+ protection, unlike cotton which typically offers UPF 15 at best when dry.
3. How do I correctly use your swimsuits?
Our swimwear is designed for play in and around water - whether at the beach, pool, or under a garden sprinkler. We recommend avoiding prolonged wear outside water in hot conditions (such as in a pram or car seat), as the suits are not intended to provide thermal regulation. Their unlined design encourages airflow, helping your child stay cool and comfortable while playing.
4. How should I handle diaper changes with baby swimsuits?
Our baby swimsuits feature a convenient snap button opening to make diaper changes seamless and hassle-free. We recommend using a nappy underneath our baby swimsuit style, as the thin and breathable fabric might be slightly transparent. This ensures your baby stays comfortable and avoids any potential accidents.
5. What should I consider when choosing your swimwear for my child?
Consider your child’s comfort and the protection they need. Our products offer excellent sun protection with UPF50+, a lightweight fit, and fast-drying fabric to keep your child comfortable and safe in the sun. Always choose the right size and style for your child, ensuring proper coverage for both safety and comfort.
6. Is your swimwear suitable for all ages?
Yes! Our swimwear caters to babies, girls, and boys of different ages, providing options like baby swimsuits, girls swimsuits, boys swim shorts, and unisex long-sleeve rashguards. Each product is carefully designed to offer a perfect fit and protection against the sun.
7. How do I care for my swimwear?
To ensure the longevity of your swimwear, rinse it in cool, fresh water after each use. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry. Our fast-dry fabric will have your swimwear ready for the next adventure in no time!
8. Can the swimwear prevent overheating?
Our swimwear is designed for use in and around water, with an emphasis on keeping your child cool and comfortable. The thin, breathable fabric helps prevent overheating, but it is still important to use the swimwear as intended. Avoid overdressing your child and monitor them closely, particularly in warm environments.
9. Where are your products made?
Our swimwear is proudly made in Portugal using high-quality Italian fabric. We believe in supporting sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices, ensuring your purchase is as good for the planet as it is for your child.
