Frequently Asked Questions

How do I wash my swimsuit?

It’s important to wash your swimsuit every now and then, but if you do it wrong, you could damage your suit forever. Here’s the thing: while you technically might be able to put your swimsuit in the washing machine, we wouldn’t recommend doing this under any circumstances. In order to prolong the lifespan of your suit, you should always wash it by hand using warm water and gentle soap.

How do I size my swimsuit?

Remember to always consult the brand’s specific sizing chart before buying your suit; never assume you’re a certain size because of your clothing size. If you usually wear a size medium in tops, that definitely doesn’t mean you’ll automatically wear a size medium in a swimsuit top, for example.
