When washing modest swimwear, avoid wringing or twisting the suit to remove excess water, which can cause the fibers to stretch and distort. Instead, lay your modest swimwear flat on a towel and roll it up, gently pressing the water out. This method not only helps to absorb the water, but it doesn't put pressure on the fabric. Then air dry naturally in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight as UV rays can cause the fabric to fade and deteriorate. Drying swimwear moderately in the shade helps to maintain its vibrant colors and overall quality.

After drying, the swimsuit should be folded and stored, avoiding hanging to prevent deformation of the elastic fiber caused by prolonged hanging. It is best to put it in a ventilated and dry place, away from direct light sources and sharp objects.

Always sit on a towel or smooth surface to protect your modest swimwear.

If you wear the same suit daily, the fabric is not given enough time to fully regain its shape and elasticity between being used. By rotating your swimwear, you can reduce the wear and tear on individual suits and extend the life of each suit. Allow enough time for the swimming costume to regain its elasticity; wearing the same swimsuit frequently will accelerate its wear and tear.
