This is how you keep your swimwear beautiful

Suddenly your swimwear starts to slip or your bikini bottoms look worn out. That is not the intention! Keep your swimwear beautiful with these tips!

1. Wash by hand

Hand wash is better for your swimwear. At the end of the season, you can put them in the washing machine for a really good clean. Choose the gentlest program in the washing machine and skip the dryer.

2. Rinse immediately

After a day of swimming or sunbathing, immediately take the trouble to rinse chlorine, salt and grains of sand from your bikini.

3. Do not wring out

Wringing or stretching the fabric when wet is not a good idea. The elastic is stretched, causing the stretch to come off faster.

4. Do not hang your swimwear in direct sunlight

Your bikini dries quickly in the sun, but it is less good for the elasticity and the colors.

5. Dry lying down

The best option to keep the fit.

6. Wear old swimwear when going down slides

Are you going to a pool or water park with lots of slides? Going down slides isn't very good for your bikini. Take an old copy with you for that occasion.
