FAQ
How do I know which size will fit me best for the Sailor Stories Navy Stretch Swimsuit?
The swimsuit is designed with a 6.5" inseam and a premium 4-way stretch fabric to offer a comfortable fit. Use the provided size guide linked on the product page for precise measurements. If you’re between sizes, consider your preferred fit—snug or relaxed—since the fabric stretches well. This will help you pick the right size confidently before ordering.
Will the navy color fade or bleed onto other clothes when wet?
The swimsuit uses a proprietary SnapDry DWR moisture-wicking technology that helps maintain color integrity and quick drying. Navy is a dark color that generally resists fading and bleeding. Machine wash cold inside out with like colors to preserve color and prevent transfer. Following care instructions reduces any risk of color bleed onto lighter fabrics.
Can I trust the pockets and zippers to keep my valuables safe while swimming?
Yes, the swimsuit features both front and back zipper pockets designed to secure your valuables during water activities. The zippers are water-resistant and built to withstand active movements. However, avoid deep diving or prolonged submersion with valuables inside for added safety. This feature allows you to transition easily from water to casual wear without worry.
How durable is this swimsuit compared to other swim trunks?
This swimsuit is crafted from a polyester and Lycra blend with UniversalFlex™ 4-way stretch fabric, refined over a year to enhance durability and comfort. Customers report lasting quality even with frequent use. The SnapDry DWR finish also protects the fabric from water damage and wear. This longevity supports a strong cost-per-wear value.
How should I care for and wash my Sailor Stories swimsuit to keep it in best condition?
Machine wash your swimsuit cold inside out with similar colors to protect the fabric and colors. Tumble dry on low heat to maintain stretch and durability. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the SnapDry DWR coating or stretch fibers. Proper care ensures your swimsuit remains comfortable and vibrant for many uses.
