Products & Sizing
Does your swimwear have padding for tops?
All of our suits are already double-lined, however, if you prefer padded tops, we do have the VERONA, IVY, and MAYA tops available!
What products would you recommend for bigger chests?
We would recommend our CAPRI or LOLA tops for the most support! You can also try the ALICE, IVY, or NOVA tops.
What products would you recommend for more coverage?
For tops, we would recommend our CAPRI, ZOE, and IVY tops. You can also try sizing up in our other adjustable tops for more coverage and tie them to fit!
For bottoms, we would recommend the CAPRI, LOLA, and INDIE bottoms!
How do I choose my size?
All of our product pages have a link to a size chart to help you find your fit for our products. Some styles can run smaller than others in fit and coverage due to their design and intended look, and this is indicated on the product page as well.
For high-rise and/or adjustable bottoms, we would recommend using your waist as more of a reference for sizing and for mid-rise and/or banded bottoms, use your hips as reference.
If you fall between sizes, we would recommend sizing up whether for tops or bottoms. You can also reach out to our support team with your exact measurements for a more accurate sizing recommendation!
What materials are your swimwear made of?
Most of our swimwear is made with a combination of spandex and nylon to provide a soft, glossy finish that perfectly fits your figure. We also recently released collections that include glittery fabrics and terry fabrics.
You can also check each product page for that specific style or print’s materials.
How long does it take to restock products?
We normally expect to restock some of our items every month or so, however, we cannot guarantee which styles or prints will be included in each restock. You can opt to be notified when the product you want is back in stock by signing up for a restock notification on its product page!
If you are still wondering about a particular product, you can also reach out to our support team for more accurate restocking information.
How do I take care of my swimwear?
To ensure that your swimwear stays bright for a long time and many uses, we would recommend that you…
- Hand wash your swimwear immediately after each use with cold water and a light detergent to remove any chlorine, salt, and sand. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Lay your swimwear flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid using a dryer or hanging it in direct sunlight as this can cause fading or damage to the elasticity and fabric.
- Store your swimwear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing it in a damp or humid place.
- Avoid rough surfaces such as rocks or gravely tiles as this can snag or damage the fabric and cause pilling.
