Are you hand washing swimsuits in your hotel sink? Are you not washing your swimsuits between using them?

No - I am finding all of this fascinating and wondering if all these people are so over the top high maintenance as to make me look laissez faire or if I missed some crucial part of an education about the importance of washing a suit

I’d bring 2 suits and rinse the top in the shower. For the bottom, I’d wash with whatever soap or shampoo was provided by the hotel if I didn’t bring campsuds while in the shower. Then roll in a towel to absorb water and then put them on hangers and hang in the balcony.

You don’t rinse off the sea salt or chlorine? It’s better for your suit.

I own over 25 swimsuits. Never a problem. Plus who worries about this trivial shit. Nothing will happen with a good air dry in the hot sun. Live a little.

This or, if after the pool, just hang up. I've never noticed any issues if we didn't rinse them out due to chlorine. I also put my sons' swim trunks in the dryer. We have swimsuits that have been worn for years 5-10 years through three boys, and they still are in great condition (and they were mostly cheapy character/Amazon suits).

In a hotel if you want something to hang dry, it helps a lot to roll it in a towel first. Roll it up and step on the towel for a while.

Or twist the towel (actually wring it).

You should really stop putting your bathing suits in the dryer. You are ruining them!

Not PP, but I have never heard this…our bathing suits seem fine after many times through the dryer.

NP here. I never ever put my swimsuits in the dryer. The high heat ruins the stretchy material.

I find that not washing my swimsuit causes it to smell.

I send them out with the our daily laundry at the resort--the laundry has next day service. I usually bring 3-4 bikinis though. They take up so little space.

I find leaving chlorine on the suit makes it stiff and itchy, so yeah, I guess I am nuts for actually washing chemicals off my suit.

Trunks and board shorts are not made of lycra. Training suits made of lycra need rinsing but don't go in the dryer. People who train are probably using their suits much more and the fabric breaks down.

I’m also surprised people wash (not just rinse) suits between every use. Do you have kids on swim team? You must be constantly washing bathing suits.

Yall wash bathing suits on vacation ???!!!

I bring a bathing suit for each day, let the used one air dry then put them in my dirty clothes pile for the trip and wash when I get home.

It’s not rocket science
