How to care for your swimsuit

Here are some tips for how to properly care for your swimsuits:

  • Rinse after use. Rinse your swimsuit with fresh, cold water after each use to remove chlorine, salt water, and sunscreen residue. This helps prevent the fabric from breaking down prematurely.
  • Avoid washing with regular clothes. Wash swimsuits separately from other clothing items to prevent color transfer and excessive abrasion. Use a mild detergent formulated for delicates.
  • Hand wash or use a delicate cycle. Hand wash gently or use the delicate cycle on your washing machine. This is the best for swimsuits. Avoid hot water as it can cause fading and stretching.
  • Skip the dryer. Never put swimsuits in the dryer, as the high heat will damage and break down stretchy fabrics like spandex. Instead, roll in a towel to remove excess water, then lay flat or hang to air dry completely.
  • Protect from direct sunlight. When not in use, keep your swimsuits out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation of the material from UV exposure.
  • Follow care tags. Always check and follow any specific care instructions on the manufacturer's tag for your particular swimsuit.

Swimsuits FAQ

What swimwear do professional swimmers use?

Professional swimmers typically wear form-fitting swimsuits made from technical fabrics that reduce water resistance. These competitive swimsuits often feature compressive qualities to streamline the body and minimize drag in the water. Popular styles include knee-length suits for men and high-cut leg openings for women.

What is a popcorn swimsuit?

A popcorn swimsuit is a unique style featuring a textured, bubbled appearance meant to resemble popcorn. The fabric is intentionally crinkled or gathered to create a three-dimensional, bumpy texture across the suit. This playful, eye-catching design adds visual interest to a simple one-piece swimsuit.

Are string bikinis attractive?

String bikinis, known for their minimal side-string or g-string bottoms, can be considered attractive by some. Opinions vary based on personal preferences for modesty and coverage. String bikinis bare more skin and accentuate the body, appealing to those favoring revealing, daring swimwear styles.

What swimwear is most flattering?

The most flattering swimwear depends on individual body types, but some popular choices include one-piece suits with a control lining for a smooth look, high-waist bikini bottoms to highlight curves, and tankini tops that provide gentle bust support. Dark, solid colors and busy prints can also be strategically flattering.

Which are the most famous swimsuit brands?

Famous swimsuit brands include Speedo, Arena, TYR, Hunza G, and Dolfin. These brands offer swimwear for competitive swimming, leisure, and fashion, and are known for their quality, performance, and style. Then there’s SwimZip; we’re known for our quality swimwear that provides sun protection and style. 

How can I look thinner in a swimsuit?

To look thinner in a swimsuit, look for styles with control lining or compression fabrics to smooth bulges. Darker colors and vertical or diagonal patterns can create a lengthening illusion. High-waisted bottoms and one-piece suits with tummy control panels also help streamline the midsection.

What color is the most slimming for swimsuits?

Black is generally considered the most slimming color for swimsuits as it has a narrowing, streamlining effect. Dark solid colors like navy and burgundy can also minimize areas you wish to downplay. Contrast colors can also be strategically flattering when darker shades are placed on areas you want to minimize.

What type of swimsuit is the best for a big belly?

The best type of swimsuit for a big belly is one that offers tummy control, such as one-pieces with ruching or peplum styles. High-waisted bikini bottoms can also provide extra coverage and support for the midsection, creating a flattering look.

What type of swimsuit is the best for larger busts?

Swimsuits with underwire support, adjustable straps, and cup-sized tops are best for larger busts. Styles that offer ample coverage and support, such as tankinis or one-pieces with built-in bras, can also be flattering and comfortable for those with fuller busts.
