Learn the best way to wash, dry, and store your Nessa swim bra to keep its shape and color season after season.

Quick answer

To keep your Nessa swim bra in top shape, rinse it in cold fresh water after every wear and hand wash with a mild detergent—never wring, bleach, or machine dry.

Why hand washing beats machine washing

Machine washing can stretch straps, misshape padded cups, and fade the fabric over time. Hand washing is gentler and helps the bra keep its fit and support, especially for padded styles like the Milos Padded swim bra.

The right detergent and water temperature

Use a mild, chlorine-free detergent and cool or lukewarm water. Hot water can break down elastic fibers and cause colors to bleed. Avoid fabric softeners, which can leave a residue that reduces water resistance.

Step-by-step swim bra care routine

  1. Rinse immediately after swimming: Rinse your swim bra in cold fresh water right after leaving the pool or ocean. This removes chlorine, salt, and sunscreen that can damage the fabric. Don't let your swim bra sit wet in a bag—rinse it as soon as possible.
  2. Hand wash gently: Fill a basin with cool water and a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the bra and gently squeeze the suds through the fabric. Avoid scrubbing or twisting the cups. Never use a washing machine or harsh detergents.
  3. Rinse thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cool water. Rinse until no suds remain, gently pressing the bra to release trapped detergent. Residual detergent can irritate skin and degrade the fabric.
  4. Dry flat away from direct sun: Lay the swim bra flat on a towel, reshape the cups, and let it air dry in the shade. Never wring, twist, or use a dryer, as this can damage the padding and elastic. Direct sunlight can fade colors, so choose a shaded spot.
  5. Store properly: Once fully dry, store the swim bra flat or folded with the cups nested, away from sharp objects and heavy items that could crush the padding. Avoid hanging by the straps, which can stretch them out.
