How to care of your Gaïa Swim period bikini ?

To ensure the longevity, effectiveness, and comfort of your menstrual swimsuit, it's important to follow a few simple care steps. With the right care, your swimsuit will remain effective for several years.


1. After each use

Rinse immediately with cold water
  • Rinse your swimsuit under cold water (never hot) to remove chlorine, salt, sand, and blood.
  • Gently squeeze the fabric between your hands to remove water. Do not wring to preserve the absorbent fibers.

2. Washing

Hand wash or machine wash
  • By hand: wash with a mild soap or delicate detergent.
  • By machine: delicate cycle at 30°C, in a small laundry bag to protect it.
  • Use a mild detergent, free from bleaching agents, fabric softeners, or stain removers (they can impair absorbency).

3. What to avoid at all costs
  •  No tumble drying
  •  No hot water
  •  No fabric softener
  •  No ironing
  •  No dry cleaning
These practices can damage waterproof membranes and technical fibers.


4. Drying

Air dry only
  • Lay your swimsuit flat or hang it, in the shade.
  • Never place it directly in the sun, which can alter colors and technical fabrics.

5. Storage
  • Store it perfectly dry to prevent the development of odors or bacteria.
  • Keep it in a dry and airy place, like any delicate laundry.

With proper care, a menstrual swimsuit retains its effectiveness for 2 to 5 years, depending on the frequency of use and the care given.
