A black bikini that loses its shape after just a few swims, or a pair of swim shorts that feel heavy and uncomfortable once you’re out of the water – these are all too common shopping mistakes. When it comes to swimwear and underwear, the choice isn’t just about colour or brand. Fit, fabric, fastenings and care all determine how suitable a product is for the beach, the pool, sport or everyday wear.
Watch out for three common pitfalls:
For swimwear, polyester is a commonly used material. The Reebok swim shorts in this selection have an outer fabric and lining made from 100% polyester, according to the product description. The product information states that the fabric is lightweight, breathable and quick-drying. That can be handy when you’re heading home, to a café or on to another activity after swimming.
A brand’s claim about a material isn’t a universal guarantee. So treat “quick-drying swim shorts” as a product specification from the description, not a promise that the shorts will dry equally fast in every situation. Drying time also depends on wind, temperature, humidity and how much water the fabric has absorbed.
For underwear, cotton can feel comfortable for everyday wear. The Lee Sports trunks are made from soft cotton, according to the product description, and have an elasticated waistband. Reebok trunks are described as suitable for daily wear, sport and an active lifestyle. Always check the current composition and care label on each item.
If you’re searching for a ladies bikini black or black bikini for women, pay attention to how the top fastens. The Urban Classics bikini has a halter-neck style with crossed straps that tie at the back. This gives you more scope to adjust the fit than a completely fixed style.
The top is described in the product description as having a push-up effect. This is a design feature of the garment, not a medical or body-shaping claim. The bottoms have a sporty, relatively narrow cut. If you prefer more coverage, it’s a good idea to study the product images and description carefully.
For men’s underwear, waist measurement is a more important starting point than just the letter size. For the Lee Sports trunks mentioned, the following size information is provided:
Exact sizing can vary by brand and style. So don’t choose a bikini size XS M L based solely on your previous clothing size.
A swim short with a drawstring gives you extra adjustability around the waist. The Reebok Yestin and Yale models have an elasticated waistband with an internal drawstring, according to the product description. That’s practical for swimming, walking along the beach or moving during pool training.
Also check the care instructions. The Reebok swim shorts are machine washable at 30 °C according to the label, but should not be tumble dried, ironed or dry cleaned. The Lee Sports trunks are machine washable; here too, it’s recommended to follow the product label and avoid bleaching or tumble drying.
Good care won’t automatically prevent wear and tear, but it does help to preserve the fit and appearance for longer. After use in chlorinated or sea water, rinse your swimwear in clean water and leave it to air dry.

The crossed halter straps can be tied at the back. Do check whether the relatively narrow cut of the bottoms suits your preferred level of coverage.

We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Measure your waist at the point where the waistband will sit and compare it with the size guide for the specific product. With a bikini, also look at the fit of the top and how adjustable the straps are. Your previous clothing size is only a guide.
Swim shorts are usually made from a fabric suitable for water, such as polyester, and often have a lining, elasticated waistband or drawstring. Ordinary cotton shorts can become heavy when wet and aren’t always designed for swimming.
Follow the care label. For the Reebok swim shorts mentioned, that means machine washing at 30 °C, no bleaching, no ironing and no tumble drying. Rinse your swimwear after use and leave it to air dry. This helps to reduce unnecessary strain on the colour, fibres and elastic.
