A care guide for warriors who want their swimwear to last longer than a TikTok trend.
When your period comes out to play, guess what steps in to monitor the situation? Yep, your period swimwear. And if you want her to stick around like your ride-or-die bestie, you’ve got to show her some love. Because the right care keeps her magic going.
Hey girlies, it’s your girl Lizzy B, and I’m back with the kind of advice that makes your future self say, “Thanks, queen.” Today, we’re talking about your period swimwear, the one that makes you feel unstoppable, even when your uterus is staging a protest.
You already know she’s the MVP of pool parties, beach days, and spontaneous “let’s just jump in!” moments. But here’s the thing: if you treat her like an afterthought, she’ll start acting like one. And we don’t want her bailing on you mid-summer.
So here’s how to keep her fresh, comfy, and in your corner for a long, long time.
Step 1: Rinse right after swimming — even when you’re too tired
I get it. You’re sunburnt, your hair’s full of sand, and the Uber’s honking outside. But do your swimwear a favor and rinse it. Like, now before rushing off.
Chlorine, salt, and random pool chemicals are like that one toxic ex: they’ll slowly eat away at your swimwear’s strength and color if you let them linger.
And here’s another bonus: rinsing right away also helps get rid of any leftover blood, making the real wash easier later.
Once rinsed, pop it into Savvi Wear’s waterproof neoprene wet bag; it keeps damp swimwear from soaking everything else in your beach bag. Think of it as a little thank-you for a leak-free swim.
Step 2: Wash gently — but here’s the easy truth
You’ve probably heard, “hand wash only!” a million times. And yes, hand washing is always best for longevity. But Savvi Wear knows you’re busy, so you can machine wash it too. Just skip the harsh detergents and never, ever use fabric softeners.
Here’s how to do it right:
- Pop your swimwear into Savvi Wear’s mesh laundry bag for delicates — it keeps it safe in the wash.
- Use mild, fragrance-free detergent (your swimwear hates “Mountain Glacier Man” scents).
- Wash on a gentle cycle.
What NOT to do:
- No bleach
- No fabric softeners
- No overly “intense” detergents
And one golden rule: never put it in the dryer. Heat damages the absorbent, leak-proof layers. Instead, either line-dry it or…
Step 3: Lay it flat to air dry — because no one likes a saggy swimwear
Your Savvi Wear swimwear loves shade. No balcony bake-offs. No sun torture.
Lay it flat in a cool, airy spot. Drying flat keeps its shape intact (because, let’s be honest, no one’s out here rooting for baggy, sad swimwear bottoms).
Prefer hanging? Totally fine, just keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
Bonus Step: Store it like the VIP it is
After it’s clean and dry, fold it gently and store it in a cool, dry place. Don’t shove it at the bottom of your beach bag with melted lip balm and old receipts.
Want to go the extra mile? Keep it in its own little pouch. Treat it like the investment piece it is.
Quick Do’s & Don’ts (Because I Know You’re Skimming)
Do:
- Rinse right after use (it makes life easier later)
- Machine wash gently or hand wash with mild detergent
- Use Savvi Wear’s mesh laundry bag for extra protection
- Air dry flat in the shade or hang, but never in direct sunlight
Don’t:
- Tumble dry
- Use bleach or fabric softeners
- Wring it out like it owes you money
- Store it while damp
Why Bother?
Because when you take care of your swimwear, you’re also taking care of yourself. A well-maintained Savvi Wear swimwear will:
- Stay leak-proof longer
- Keep its shape and color
- Save you money (and future stress from swimwear shopping)
And let’s be honest, when you love something that makes your period less of a nightmare, you want it to stick around.
My Final Splash
Here’s the deal: your Savvi Wear period swimwear isn’t disposable. It’s not a “wear it and toss it” thing. It’s an investment in freedom, in saying yes to beach invites without checking your cycle app first.
So rinse it. Wash it. Love it. And it’ll love you back for many, many summers.
Now go make a splash, with zero stress.
With love (and a clean swimsuit),
Lizzy B
