Hand Whash & Air Dry

Even on a delicate cycle, washing machines can weaken fabric fibers, leading to loss of shape. Tip: Rinse your swimsuit in cold water after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sweat.

Don’t Store a Wet Suit

Damp swimsuits can develop mold and odors. Always dry your swimsuit completely before storing it.

Q&A

  •  Can I wash my swimsuit in a washing machine?

​We highly recommend hand washing your swimsuit to protect the delicate fibers. Even on a gentle cycle, washing machines can cause stretching and fading. If you must machine wash, use a mesh laundry bag and a cold, delicate setting—but always air dry afterward!

  • ​Will sunscreen stain my swimsuit?

Yes! Many sunscreens contain oils and chemicals that can leave stains, especially on lighter colors. To prevent this, apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before putting on your swimsuit and let it fully absorb into your skin.

  • Can chlorine damage my swimsuit?

Chlorine can break down fabric fibers over time, leading to fading and loss of elasticity. After swimming in a chlorinated pool, rinse your swimsuit in cold, fresh water as soon as possible and hand wash with a gentle detergent.

  • What about saltwater?

​Saltwater is less harsh than chlorine, but it can still weaken fabric if left to dry on your swimsuit. Rinse your swimsuit after every swim to remove salt and sand, keeping the fabric fresh and vibrant.

  • ​What type of detergent should I use?

​Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent that is free of harsh chemicals and bleach. Regular detergents can break down the fabric and elastic. A great alternative is baby shampoo or a specialized swimwear wash.

  • ​Can I dry my swimsuit in the sun?

​While a little sunlight is fine, avoid direct sun exposure for long periods when drying your swimsuit. UV rays can cause colors to fade and weaken the fibers. Instead, dry your suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area on a flat surface.

  • ​Can I sit on rough surfaces in my swimsuit?

Be careful! Pool edges, rocks, and wooden benches can cause pilling or snags. To protect your swimsuit, always sit on a towel or a soft surface.

  • How should I store my swimsuit?

​Make sure your swimsuit is completely dry before storing it. Fold it gently and keep it in a breathable fabric bag instead of a plastic bag, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.

  • How can I make my swimsuit last longer?

  • Rinse after every wear (even if you didn’t swim).

  • Hand wash with gentle detergent.

  • Avoid rough surfaces.

  • Rotate swimsuits to avoid overuse of one piece.
