During use, avoid sitting or leaning on rocky or rough surfaces to prevent your swimsuit from tearing, wearing out, or ripping. Be careful when applying oils, lotions, or sunscreens that could leave marks on your swimsuit. After use, remember to rinse it thoroughly with cold water to remove any traces of chlorine or salt. We recommend air drying it and avoiding storing it wet or damp. Treat it with care: hand washing in cold water is best, but if you must machine wash it, mesh bags are your best friend for protection. Make sure you don't leave anything in the pockets, keep the zipper closed, and wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Air dry it and avoid wringing it out or putting it in the dryer. Do not iron or use bleach.
