You found the perfect bikini. The fit is flattering, the fabric is luxe, and it makes you feel like you're walking a resort runway. Now it’s time to treat it like the investment it is. 💦☀️
From salty swims to sun-soaked lounge sessions, your swimwear goes through a lot. Here's how to keep your favorite pieces looking flawless
💧 1. Rinse After Every Wear
Even if you didn’t swim, your suit absorbs sunscreen, sweat, salt, and chlorine — all of which can break down the fabric. Rinse your swimwear in cool, clean water immediately after use to preserve elasticity and color.
🧼 2. Skip the Washing Machine
Hand-washing is a non-negotiable.
Use a gentle detergent (no bleach, no harsh surfactants) and soak your suit in lukewarm water for about 10 minutes. Gently squeeze — never wring — and lay flat to dry in the shade.
Pro Tip: Never hang your suit by the straps — it stretches them out!
☀️ 3. Avoid Rough Surfaces
Your bikini is not meant for sitting directly on rough pool edges or rocky sand.
Always lay down a towel to protect delicate fabrics from snags, pulls, and pilling.
🧴 4. Let Your SPF Sink In
Sunscreen is your skin’s best friend — but it’s not great for swimwear.
Let your SPF fully absorb before putting on your bikini, and try to avoid oil-based formulas which can stain certain fabrics.
🧳 5. Rotate Your Favorites
Give your suits a break between wears so the fabric can regain its shape. Rotating styles also helps your collection last longer — and hey, it’s a great excuse to shop for more.
💕 Bonus: How to Store Off-Season
When summer ends, store your suits flat in a drawer or fabric pouch — clean, dry, and away from direct sunlight or humidity. No plastic bags, and no tossing them into your gym bag for six months.
Swimwear should last — and when you care for it the right way, it does.
