How do I care for my swimsuit?

To keep your AUR OCEÀ swimsuit looking vibrant and beautiful, please refer to the care instructions included in your order, along with the fabric tag affixed within your AUR OCEÀ swimsuit.

  • Rinse well after use.
  • Use mild detergent.
  • Cool hand wash separately only. We recommend against washing in the machine
    due to automatic heat settings that may discolour your suit or snag the garment
    during the wash cycle.
  • Dry in shade.
  • Do not roll up or store while wet.
  • Do not bleach, soak or tumble dry.
  • Do not iron.
  • Some colours may fade in sunlight or in chlorinated water. We use the most colour
    fast dyes available on our swimsuits, however we cannot guarantee complete
    colourfastness. Some colours may bleed or transfer when wet.
  • Please avoid contact with rough surfaces, along with heated pools (including
    hydrotherapy) and spas that are treated with harsh chemicals.
  • Strong levels of chemicals and high temperatures are not ideal for your swimsuit and
    may cause colour fading.
  • Fake tanning products and some sunscreen lotions may mark or damage your
    garment. Please take extra care when using these products and ensure they are
    completely dry prior to coming in contact with your AUR OCEÀ suit.
What size swimsuit should I order?

AUR OCEÀ swimsuits are available in sizes AU 6 – 20. Our one piece swimsuits are designed to provide additional coverage and modesty, with each of our swimsuit styles designed on real women’s bodies. AUR OCEÀ’s swimsuit sizes do fall a little on the generous side, so if you find you are between sizes we recommend sizing down.  For best fit, we recommend a firm/snug fit that is flattering to the body.

For example, if you are between an AU size 12 and 14, we recommend to size down to an AU size 12.

AUR OCEÀ’s swimsuits are suitable for A-G cup sizes or as marked on the product.
