First of all, when buying a swimsuit, make sure that the fabric has been treated for chlorine resistance. You may access this information from either the manufacturer of your swimsuit or the store salesperson. Also, try shopping at a swimwear boutique or other small store to ensure that you are speaking with knowledgeable salespeople.

     Secondly, when you do go swimming in your new swimsuit, shower immediately after exiting the pool. While lounging on the poolside in your swimsuit is certainly a relaxing experience, the chlorine from the pool water will very quickly impregnate the fabric in the heat of the sun. Try showering first and then lounging to dry off. This action will also serve the added benefit of quickly removing chlorine that could irritate your skin and hair.

     Next, when lounging at the poolside, be careful where you sit. Lycra fabric, a major component of almost all swimsuits, can snag and fray if caught on a wooden lounger. Be sure to sit and rise slowly to catch any snags before they become a major problem.

     Then, once you are finished with your swimsuit for the day, be sure to rinse it out in cold water before throwing it in the laundry. A cold-water rinse will remove most of the chlorine that could degrade the fabric.

     Finally, wash your swimsuit in cold water on the gentle cycle in your washing machine and never place it in the dryer. As most women well know, the dryer has a tendency to quickly ruin delicate clothing. Allowing the swimsuit to air dry will prevent any fraying or fading that could occur in the dryer.

     As a final note, try to look for quality, well-made swimsuits in classic styles when shopping. The last thing you want to do is take diligent care of your swimsuit and then be unable to wear it the next season because it has gone out of style. Rather than blindly purchasing every passing swimsuit trend that appears on the fashion runway, try investing in a classic maillot or bikini and then spicing it up with trendy accessories. This will save you some unnecessary embarrassment and your budget some unnecessary stretching.

     With these tips in mind, you should be able to significantly lengthen the lifetime of your swimsuit. Now, rather than spending cash on a new swimsuit, you can save your hard-earned money for some fun vacation destinations to wear your beautiful, well-kept bikini or swimsuit!
