Bikini Hacks: How to Make Your Swimsuit Last Longer

Our Brisea Swim bikinis are an excellent investment whether you’re planning a beach day or going on a tropical vacation. However, sun, salt water, and chlorine can, over time, affect the quality of your swimsuits. We’ve come up with the perfect hacks to keep your bikini looking fresh for all seasons!

Hand Wash

Hand-washing a swimsuit is essential to maintaining its quality of life. Make sure to use cold water and a gentle detergent. Allowing it to soak for 20 minutes and washing until there’s no leftover soap will remove all of the sand and/or chlorine from the fabric. 

Rinse After Using 

It’s essential to rinse right after using your Brisea Swim bikini. The sun and any products used while wearing it can cause the fabric to deteriorate over time. Hand wash your bikini, using the tips above, to wash away any harsh elements. 

Drying Tips

Try to avoid drying your swimsuit in the sunlight. This can fade colors and weaken the materials. Dryers can also break down the elasticity because of the heavy heat. The best way to dry your Brisea Swim bikini to keep it looking brand new is on a flat surface, in the shade.

Be Careful with Oils and Sunscreen 

Although oils and sunscreen are great for relaxing in the sun, they can eventually break down bikini fabric. To avoid this, you can apply sunscreen before putting on your swimsuit and allow it to fully absorb. Additionally, minimizing the use of oils will help keep the stretch of your bikini. 

Keep Your Bikini Looking Fresh and New!

Following these tips will ensure your bikini stays looking fresh and new. They will also allow you to extend the life of your favorite Brisea Swim swimsuits. Taking these extra steps goes a long way, so make sure to wash and dry carefully!
