FAQ
How do I know if the El Sativo swimsuit will fit me well?
The El Sativo swimsuit features a 6.5" inseam with a premium 4-way stretch UniversalFlex™ fabric designed to fit comfortably and flex with your movements. Check the detailed size guide on the product page to match your measurements. The stretch fabric accommodates various body shapes, but if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. If the fit isn’t perfect, free returns and exchanges are available within 30 days to help you find the right size.
Will this swimsuit hold up well if I wear it often in chlorinated pools or saltwater?
This swimsuit uses SnapDry DWR moisture-wicking technology and a durable polyester/lycra blend that resists fading and stretching from chlorine and saltwater exposure. While it is designed for longevity, frequent exposure to harsh chemicals can gradually affect performance. Rinsing with fresh water after each use helps maintain the fabric’s integrity. The material’s premium quality ensures a good cost-per-wear value for regular swimmers.
Can I safely store my valuables in the zipper pockets while swimming?
Yes, the El Sativo swimsuit has front and back zipper pockets designed to securely hold small valuables like keys or a card. The zippers are water-resistant but not fully waterproof, so it's best to avoid storing items that can be damaged by water. These pockets offer convenient storage for casual use but aren’t suitable for prolonged submersion of electronics or paper items.
What materials is the El Sativo swimsuit made from, and are they safe for sensitive skin?
The swimsuit is made from a high-quality polyester and lycra blend sourced from Colombia, chosen for its stretch and durability. These materials are generally safe for sensitive skin and free from harsh chemicals. The fabric also includes the SnapDry DWR finish that wicks moisture without irritation. If you have severe sensitivities, we recommend testing a small area first or consulting your dermatologist.
How should I care for my El Sativo swimsuit to keep it in the best condition?
Hand wash or machine wash your swimsuit in cold water and hang dry it to preserve the fabric’s elasticity and finish. Avoid machine drying or ironing, which can damage the stretch fibers and waterproof coating. Proper care extends the swimsuit’s lifespan and maintains its vibrant prints and functional properties.
