Swimsuit Care Tips from my Mom
Here’s 5 easy tips to take better care of your swimsuits, from the best-caretaker I know, my mom.
With Mother’s Day around the corner, what better way to celebrate than to share some of the knowledge that my wonderful mom has, especially when it comes to taking care of your swimsuits. In case you don’t know, my mom is the reason I love swimwear. Back in the early 90s, getting durable and high quality swimwear in Costa Rica was tough. So when we had the chance to buy clothing abroad, my mom made sure my sisters and I always took great care of all of our garments, but most specifically our swimwear because we would be getting a lot of uses out of it and it had to last more than one season.
Below are her top tips on how to take care of your swimsuit:
Lightly Used
(meaning you have used the suit once in the pool or ocean, or both and intend to use again soon)
Kindly rinse quickly with cold water. If there are some stains use a little bit of gentle soap. If you are traveling and you are not sure if the soap is gentle, test it in an inconspicuous part of the suit before you use it to remove the stain. Keep your use of water and soap to a minimum. Once the soap is removed, if you used it, wring out your suit gently.
Post- Season
(meaning you used the swimsuit multiple times, sometimes rinsed, sometimes didn’t and will be putting the suit away until your next vacation)
In a bucket, add cold water with less than a teaspoon of delicate care liquid soap and mix with your hand. Then add the suit, along with any other swimsuits of the same color that need washing. For example, you can wash the Mio and the Marije Top and Marije Pants together. After, you gently handwash the places where it can get dirty like by the armpits. Then, my mom recommends that you leave the suits in the soapy-water for 15 minutes tops. If you leave for longer it gets harder to remove the soap and for some suits (not ours) it can cause the fabric color to fade. Leaving the suits in the soapy-water will guarantee that any sand stuck between the fibers of your suit will drop to the bottom of the bucket, while leaving the suit smelling heavenly. This is a once in a year, at most, kind of wash. For all other washes, my mom recommends the Lightly Used process.
After (any) Wash
Leave the suit out to dry in the shade. If you leave it exposed to the sun, the fabric color may fade. If you have time, you can lay the suit on top of a towel and have it dry horizontally in order to allow the suit’s stretch to relax. If you are pressed for time, you can hang your clean swimwear over a hook or rod. If the suit has ties in the chest or on the sides, I usually untie the straps to let the fibers of the suit regain their stretch as it dries.
No Washer EVER
We mean it! The washer’s tumbling and abrading forces cause the breakdown of fabrics, which means that more microplastics end up in the ocean. Although water treatments remove 99.9% of microplastic particles, extended use of your swimsuit can result in the introduction of microplastic fibres directly into the water.
Swimwear fabric already takes enough of a beating with the sun (Ultraviolet rays have been known to breakdown fibers as well), sand and chlorine, the last thing you want is to add unnecessary mistreatment. If you are pressed for time and cannot handwash, you can use the hand wash setting in your washer but again we do not recommend it.
We also do not recommend the dryer, ever.
Bag It
As you know, most of the swimsuits out there and all of our swimsuits come with a bag and that is for a reason. After your suit has been washed and dry, you should always keep your suits in their bag because of many reasons, among them:
- It protects the swimwear fabric from brushing against rough surfaces or other fabrics that might affect the color of your suit.
- If you have a two-piece or three-piece, like our Colette set, you will want to keep all the parts of the swimsuit together. This will cut down time when you are packing last-minute and help reduce clutter in your closet.
- If your suit comes in a plastic bag, which unfortunately most do, continue to use the bag for the duration of your swimsuit’s life. At MIGA Swimwear, we have chosen canvas bags for our suits as we believe they are not only durable, sustainable and multi-purpose (I use it to keep small belongings like keys or my wallet from getting lost in big beach bags), they are the most successful at protecting your swimsuit.
If you follow these steps, we can assure you that your swimsuit will stay with you for a long time. My mom has had swimsuits that have lasted her for over five years. Swimwear is an investment, let's treat it like one.

Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.
