Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about sizing, fabric, care, delivery and tanning with Laura Jayne tan-through swimwear.
Sizing & Fit
How do I choose my size?
Our swimwear is designed to fit true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up. For detailed measurements, please refer to the size guide on each product page or contact us and we will happily help.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes. Our pieces are made from a soft, four-way stretch fabric that moves with your body for a flattering, comfortable fit both in and out of the water.
Will the swimwear stay in place while swimming?
Our styles are designed with secure, adjustable detailing to keep everything comfortably in place. For active swimming, choose a snug rather than loose fit.
Fabric & Tan-Through
What is tan-through swimwear?
Tan-through swimwear is made from a lightweight, micro-perforated fabric containing thousands of tiny openings that allow a controlled amount of sunlight to reach the skin beneath, while maintaining coverage, comfort and style. You can read more about how it works here.
Is the fabric see-through when worn?
No. The openings are woven into the material and are designed to allow light through while still providing coverage when worn. Like most swimwear, the fabric can appear slightly lighter when wet.
Is the fabric quick drying?
Yes. The lightweight, breathable construction is designed to dry quickly, so you feel fresh and comfortable moving from the water to lounging.
Tanning Guidance
How do I tan responsibly in tan-through swimwear?
Tan-through swimwear does not replace sunscreen. Always apply appropriate sun protection to all areas of exposed skin, including beneath the swimwear, and follow normal sun-safety guidance. Begin with shorter periods of exposure, as skin beneath traditional swimwear may be less accustomed to sunlight.
Does the fabric provide sun protection or a guaranteed tan?
Our fabric is designed to allow a controlled amount of light through; it is not a substitute for sunscreen and we do not claim a guaranteed SPF level or tanning result. Please continue to use sun protection and follow standard sun-safety advice.
Care Instructions
How should I care for my swimwear?
Rinse in cool, fresh water straight after wear. Hand wash gently with a mild soap, avoid wringing or twisting, and reshape then dry flat away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid contact with oils, lotions and rough surfaces to keep the fabric at its best.
Can I machine wash or tumble dry?
We recommend hand washing only and drying flat. Machine washing, tumble drying and ironing can damage the delicate tan-through fabric.
Is it suitable for pools and hot tubs?
Yes, though prolonged exposure to chlorine can affect any swimwear over time. Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each use to prolong the life of your pieces.
Delivery & Returns
Which delivery options do you offer?
We offer UK and international delivery, with free UK shipping on orders over £70. You will receive tracking details by email once your order has been dispatched.
What is your returns policy?
For hygiene reasons, swimwear can only be returned if unworn, unwashed and with all tags and the hygiene liner still in place. Please see our refund policy for full details, or contact us to start a return.
Wearing & Product Use
Can I wear it for both swimming and lounging?
Absolutely. Our swimwear is designed for comfort in and out of the water, so you can swim, sunbathe and relax without changing.
