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

Wash in sink or bathtub/shower with a tiny bit of laundry detergent but honestly I don't wash after every wear when we're on vacation, I'll rinse it out well, re-wear, then wash the next day.

Cold water and squirt of body wash in hotel bathroom sink.
Drip dry outside or in shower. Yes, still damp but I put my suit on last minute anyway and immediately get in the water.

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.


Good grief. Read the label.

When my kids were little I'd throw theirs in the dryer because they were cheap and I didn't care. Plus they outgrow them.

I don't ever dry mine. They last years even with weekly use year round (I don't live in DC).

This.

I hate wet swimsuits, so I blow dry them with a hair dryer. It wears them out quicker, but I don't care.

I bring enough swimsuits so I don't need to wash them on the trip.

From experience they last much longer and don't get ruined if you hand wash and air dry.
