Do you have to wash swimwear before wearing it?

You have to wash any new clothing before you wear it. You have no idea who touched it and tried it on before you bought it. There are also finishing products used on fabric that could irritate your skin if you're sensitive to them. Oh, and dark blue and black items can stain your skin if you don't wash them first.

After you buy any item of clothing and you wear it, you should always wash it after you wear it.

So, in other words, your swimsuit should be washed before you wear it.

You don’t have to wash swimwear before wearing it but if you plan to do a lot of swimming in swimming pools where chemical (chlorine) involved then you better wash it.

This article (please click on it) will explain why you should wash swim wear before wearing it and there are some tips in the article that help you keep your new swimsuit in a good condition and make it last longer in chlorinated pools.

Any time you purchase any fashion garment you should wash it especially swimwear and underwear. You never know who has tried it on before you. Here is a link to an article on how to care for your swimwear. care for bikinis Archives - The Bikini Police - Swimwear Fashion Advisor -Bikinis-One Piece Swimsuits and more

If you wash it its much better however if you are not interested in washing it then there is no real need for it . Swim wears are made of such fabrics which do not let water to enter into the fabrics.

Fabrics used in swimwear are polyester and nylon

Can You Alter A Swimsuit?

What can you do if your swimsuit doesn’t fit? Whether you lost some weight or that swimsuit you fell in love with doesn't fit like you'd hoped, sometimes you find yourself with a suit that simply isn't right. Swimwear should be fun and flattering, so what should you do with a swimsuit that lets you down? Can you alter a swimsuit?

COMMON PROBLEMS WITH SWIMSUITS FITTING

• Too large all over. If you've recently lost weight, you may pull on your favorite swimsuit to discover that it's suddenly baggy. This can be true even with a weight loss of about 6 pounds. Two things to keep in mind: Reducing a swimsuit by more than one size probably won't look right, and if your suit is baggy because the fabric has lost its stretch then no alteration is going to help.
• Too small. It may be from weight gain, or from a swimsuit manufacturer that simply didn't work for your exact curves, but sometimes you end up with a suit that is just too tight. Swimsuits don't have extra fabric to let out in the seam, but there are other ways of adding a little room, such as sewing in panels.
• Your size on top doesn't match your size on bottom. This is a very common issue for women. If you buy a two-piece suit as a set, it can be frustrating to find one that matches your proportions. 
• You want a change. Maybe you're just ready for a new look? Making your one-piece suit into a high-waisted bikini or adding fabric to make your bikini into a one-piece can change things up.

SEW IT YOURSELF

Whether you need to take in seams to make your suit snug again or to add some inches to make it fit without pulling, it is possible to do alterations yourself. If you're accomplished at sewing, this is something you can tackle. Taking in the suit a little on the sides is fairly straightforward but be sure you use polyester thread and a stretch stitch, so the seam can stretch without snapping. An overlock machine can give you an entwined stitch for extra stretch. If the bodice is too large for your chest, you may want to consider adding "enhancer" cups to the suit. Altering the bodice can get complicated because it requires adjusting straps as well as fitting the seams to the rest of the suit.

If you need a little extra room, consider adding panels. Sheer fabric or lace panels are a very pretty addition to a suit. It's important to select a fabric that has the same kind of stretch as your swimsuit (2-way or 4-way). You want to be extra careful with the seam between your new panel and the original suit, so you don't end up with puckers in the fabric as you move.

HAVE IT ALTERED – BATHING SUIT ALTERATION

If you have a tailor that you love, you may want to consider having your swimsuit professionally altered. Keep in mind that certain changes will be pricey. If your suit has a liner, that will have to be adjusted separately. Also, some bathing suit alterations are more complicated, such as restructuring the bodice to accommodate a different sized bust. In some cases, having a professional rework your swimsuit may cost more than a new one.

No Speedo? Then don't try to go swimming in France — seriously

If you’ve traveled outside of the US this summer, a foreign language may not have necessarily been the biggest stress factor of the trip. Local customs are often what get us stumped.

Take a trip to the local pool, for example. Seems like an easy and universal-enough activity to not have to jump through the daunting hoops of cultural differences, right? Wrong. It can be an uncomfortable experience.

I am a native of the city of Auxerre, Burgundy, in France. It’s a lovely place of about 35,000 people, rich with medieval history.

It’s small, but it boasts many remarkable historical monuments, including a cathedral and an abbey from the Middle Ages and some ancient churches and chapels. It sits in the middle of the Burgundian hills, known for their excellent wines.

The city has another, more modern attraction that locals are proud of: its phenomenal public pool — or as it’s called there, the Nautical Stadium. It has four indoor heated pools with a jacuzzi, and three outside pools including an Olympic-sized one with a long, swirly slide. It is an extravagantly large — for its town — aquatic facility, built on the green banks of the river Yonne.

People travel from surrounding towns and villages to spend the day there, sunbathe on its beautiful lawns and snack at its eatery, when they are not swimming. You pay a small fee to get a bracelet which gives you access to the facilities. There's nothing tricky, except for the bathing suit rules.

You see, in most French public pools, there are strict regulations about the kind of bathing suit you can wear, and therefore share with others, in the water.

Simply put, where hygiene is concerned, your swimsuit cannot be something you could be found wearing outside the pool. That means no trunks, Bermuda shorts, T-shirts or anything that is not strictly meant for swimming.

Auxerre’s pool administrators say they do not want people to drag any dirt on, or under, their summer attire into the pool. So if you are going to join the masses of swimmers — all 2,000 of them on a busy summer day — you'll have very little cloth covering your own birthday suit.

Where else would you be told to wear something shorter and tighter, no matter your shape? Man, woman or child, you’ll have to wear some form of spandex, something tight, the kind Speedo makes. Something that often leaves nothing to the imagination — and it’s not to everyone’s liking.

If you are caught entering the pool with biking shorts, running shorts or trunks, lifeguards — turned fashion police — will blow the whistle and send you back to the lobby where you will be asked to purchase proper attire. This is where convenient vending machines come in.

In the Auxerre pool lobby, there are machines that vend soft drinks, sandwiches and espressos, and others that dispense anything needed for the pool, from ear plugs, soap, shampoo and goggles, to swimwear.

A mannequin in swimming trunks with a big “forbidden” sign around its neck in the pool’s lobby is supposed to illustrate, for unsuspecting tourists, the kind of bathing suit that is acceptable. As a result, looking around, there is a certain repetitiveness to the swimsuit designs worn by men and boys.

There are four different designs in all, perhaps because that is all that is available at the vending machine or at the inexpensive sports store in town.

In the years since those regulations went into effect, I cannot remember hordes of disgruntled tourists getting outraged about this. But occasionally, one gets caught with his pants long (men more than women for obvious reasons) and is not happy about it.

The French have just gotten used to this, but for some visitors, the fact that municipal administrators have the authority to get you dressed to their liking — or un-dressed as the case may be — is completely infuriating. That is one of those unavoidable cultural quirks travelers must contend with in France.

As a resident of the United States, used to the uncompromising French swimsuit rules, it’s always disconcerting to me that anyone would be allowed to walk straight into an American public pool, from the street to the water, fully dressed, trunks over underwear, T-shirt over chest and sometimes with water shoes on.

That could make me love the French “no clothes — just Speedos” rules even more.

But perhaps there are no people on Earth prouder of their public pools than Icelanders. Iceland, where I just spent a few days, is rich with geothermal springs and big cities enjoy naturally heated outdoor pools. Because there are no chemicals in those pools, swimmers are expected to take a meticulous soap-and-scrub shower before entering the pool.

We were told that the rules are strictly enforced everywhere, and so visitors oblige.

This was my experience recently at the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa near Reykjavik, where a very polite young staff lady looked on and directed all female visitors to shower in the nude before letting them into the hot spring. No one seemed to object. But then again, people were not told what to wear.

Extend The Life OF Your Swimwear

SWIM IN STYLE, SEASON AFTER SEASON

Congrats! You’ve found your perfect swimsuit. Protect, clean, rotate, and store it properly to keep it vibrant and fitting beautifully.

PROTECT

Lotion, sunscreen, oil, and deodorant are harsh on swim fabrics, discoloring and staining them, and ultimately deteriorating their elasticity. Apply 15 to 30 minutes before you put on your suit so they’re absorbed only by your skin.

Shower in fresh water before swimming: the suit’s fibers will absorb less chlorine. And if the chlorine content of your pool or hot tub is too high, both spandex and dyes can break down. It’s also smart to dedicate a single suit to hot tub use, as high temps and chlorine age swim fabrics quickly.

To lock in dyes, soak a new suit for 30 minutes in a vinegar-and-water solution before the first wash. Use one tablespoon of white vinegar for each quart of water.

Finally, always sit on a towel or wear a pareo to avoid abrasion from rough surfaces.

CLEAN

Even if you’ve only been sunbathing, always hand wash your suit with an ultra-gentle detergent in cold water to remove salt, oils, and dirt. If no detergent is handy, a cold rinse is better than nothing.

Never put swimwear in a washing machine: the agitation will stretch, strain, and break down the delicate pads and linings, leaving it ill-fitting.

Wringing will also damage your suit’s fibers, so lay it flat between two towels and roll it, pressing gently to squeeze out water. To dry, lay it flat (don’t hang it from ties) away from direct sunlight.

ROTATE

Spandex is a memory fabric and needs 24 hours to fully snap back. You need multiple options if you wear swimwear more than occasionally. This is especially essential for vacationing: bring a variety so you can clean and let them dry fully before wearing again. Spandex bounce-back ensures a great, lasting fit.

STORE

Your suits are ready for storage when they’ve been washed and are completely dry.

Don’t keep them in airtight containers or dry cleaners’ bags, because mildew will develop if there’s any moisture in the fibers. Cedar blocks or lavender sachets in your storage box or drawer are an effective way to add a natural scent and keep any pests away. And lastly, avoid dryer sheets, as they can leave residue on fabrics.

Enjoy the lasting beauty of your suit!

How to Shrink a Swimsuit

Bathing suits come in many fabrics including cotton, nylon, polyester, spandex and blended combinations of these fabrics. You cannot shrink bathing suits that are made of nylon, polyester or spandex. The spandex is comprised of small threads of elastic. The elastic will melt and deteriorate when exposed to high heat. Nylon can also be damaged by high heat. Swimsuits made of mostly polyester will not shrink as well. Many bathing suits are now made of cotton and cotton blends. You can shrink an all-cotton swimsuit and cotton blend fabrics. Swimsuits made of 100 percent cotton will shrink more than a cotton blend suit. To determine the fabric type, refer to the garment's tag, which is typically affixed to one of the seams.

Things You'll Need

• Water
• Sink
• Detergent
• Clothes dryer

Step 1

Fill a sink with warm water.

Step 2

Pour a few drops of laundry detergent into the water.

Step 3

Hand-wash the bathing suit in the soapy water.

Step 4

Rinse the bathing suit under a stream of warm water. Squeeze out the excess water, but do not twist or wring out the bathing suit.

Step 5

Place the swimsuit in the clothes dryer and run it for 60 minutes or until dry. Use high heat on an all-cotton bathing suit. Use low heat for cotton blends. When you remove it from the dryer, the bathing suit will be slightly smaller.

Tip

Check the bathing suit's tag to determine the fabric type and to read the fabric care recommendations. Do not wring out or twist the bathing suit. This will stretch it and damage the fibers in a spandex suit. You'll need to shrink the bathing suit after every use.

Warning

Do not use bleach on your swimsuit. Do not place spandex bathing suits in the clothes dryer. Always use low heat for nylon and nylon blends.

The Best Bathing Suits for Big Boobs

Off-the-Shoulder

One of summer's biggest styles hits the pool: the GabiFresh off-the-shoulder bikini top features no-slip cups instead of uncomfy underwire. It'll feel like a bandeau but has the three-hook closure of a bra, and runs up to sizes E/F. 

High-Neck

The high-neck style has been huge for the past couple of seasons, and it's still making waves—like this pale pink version from Lolli that strikes the perfect balance of trendiness and coverage for fuller busts. 

Crop Rashguard

Long sleeves (and the added protection of UPF 50+ in the fabric) provide perfect coverage for hours of paddling, boating, or surfing in the sun in this flattering spin on the classic surf style. 

One-Piece Halter

Don't fear a lace-up style if you're bustier—the halter neck of this Aerie one-piece provides the support you need, and the laces can tighten or loosen as much as you want. Plus, you can remove or keep the detachable bra pads based on your comfort level.  

Bandeau

Before you rule out a strapless bikini option, consider this Shoshanna top with removable straps and special non-slip banding, engineered to fit up to sizes DDD. 

Zip-Up Tank

Body Glove's funky '80s throwback top will fit big busts perfectly—the cute, surf-chic zipper style holds you in for even the most extreme of water sports. 

Embellished High-Neck

Good news: Crochet and macramé are still trendy this swim season. This Xhilaration top is our most reasonable pick of bathing suits for big boobs, available for purchase at Target for right around 20 bucks. 

Crop Tank

Thanks to their comfy, sports bra-like feel, you'll be sure to see cropped tanks everywhere from the boat to the boardwalk this summer. Scoop up this Aerie style in one of summer 2017's biggest patterns: stripes. 

We\'ve fallen in love with this super chic swim piece! This two piece swimsuit features off the shoulder, ruffles decor and floral print design.
