We love helping our customers find their perfect swimsuit, just send us an email at support@instantswimwear.com!

Our ECONYL® fabric is created from regenerated ocean plastic, such as abandoned fishing nets and industrial plastic. Not only does this help to remove waste from the oceans, but it also reduces the amount of new materials produced. Our recycled fabric reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with the material from oil.

Wash by hand or separately on a cold cycle, and air dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Products labelled 'Longevity-Eco' are longer lasting in chlorinated water. These items are specially designed to hold their colour and shape after 100s of hours in chlorine. Luxe-Eco pieces are also chlorine-resistant, but slightly softer and stretchier, designed for comfort.

No, our swimsuits don’t have any padding inside. However the fabric is thick and always double-lined, many customers find this provides adequate support.

Try to avoid leaving them in the sun, or letting them soak in strong chlorine for an extended period of time. If you have any colour-related issues, please contact us as quickly as possible!
