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

I take two bathing suits, and just have one of them hanging to dry at any given time. I don’t bother to wash them. I suppose if I were going to be swimming or at the beach more than a few days I would. If I need to get sand out, I just rinse them.

yes, but they have multiple swim suits

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 would feel dirty re-wearing a suit that has had discharge in it for example, without washing it some sort of way with soap and water. It’s like underwear to me, I don’t re-wear them. You’re using the restroom, wiping, putting the swim suit back on just the same.

Week-long vacation…I guess I’m living on the edge, but I will wash my bathing suit when I get home.

And I feel dirty from reading this post.

You are soaking the bathing suit in chlorine when you wear it. Chlorine cleans & kills germs. It’s not the same as just wearing underwear.

The ocean is not chlorinated. There’s nothing killing germs in the ocean water.

There's a difference between wearing a swimsuit all day as underwear versus wearing one for a 45 minute workout and changing straight back into regular clothes.

Yup. For a week vacation I bring two suits just to alternate to a dry one from day to day, but no "washing" until I get home and somehow I have lived to tell the tale.

But Previous PP is right. It’s like wearing an underwear all day and then just rinsing it and wearing it again the next day. Gross!

The easiest system for me is to put a little hotel shampoo on the swimsuit while I’m taking a shower and just quickly wash and rinse the suit. Then hang anywhere to dry.

This would be for 7 days hotel not Airbnb/vrbo.

Most hotels/motels have a laundry room. Wash them with some other clothes or hotel towels.
