Why You Should Always Change Into a Dry Swimsuit After Swimming

After a refreshing swim in the sea or a few energizing laps in the pool, it's tempting to lounge a little longer in your swimsuit. But if you’re still wearing your wet bikini or one-piece long after you've left the water, it might be time to rethink your post-swim routine.

1. Your Health Comes First

Damp swimwear creates a warm, moist environment where bacteria and yeast can thrive. Remaining in a wet suit for too long can increase the risk of skin irritation, fungal infections, and even urinary tract or yeast infections—especially for women. Swapping into a dry piece helps keep your body fresh, healthy, and in harmony.

2. Comfort Is Luxury

Wet fabric clings to the skin, which can lead to chafing and general discomfort—especially when walking, sitting, or enjoying a beachside lunch. By changing into a dry swimsuit or a soft pareo, you immediately elevate your comfort and enjoy your surroundings without distraction.

3. Extend the Life of Your Swimwear

Our Marezza pieces are crafted with premium, sustainable materials like Carvico Vita, chosen for their elegance and durability. But even the most resilient fabrics can suffer when exposed to prolonged moisture. Chlorine, salt, and sweat can break down elasticity and fade colors if not rinsed and removed. Drying off and changing promptly is a simple way to preserve your swimsuit’s shape and beauty.

4. Avoid Lingering Odors

Staying in wet fabric for hours or tossing a damp swimsuit into your beach bag can lead to musty smells. A quick change not only keeps you fresh—it protects your tote and towels from absorbing unwanted moisture.

Marezza Tip:

Always carry a lightweight change of clothes and a breathable pouch for storing wet swimwear. It's one of those graceful habits that leaves you feeling refreshed, wherever your day takes you.

This is a simple habit that protects your health, comfort, and your swimwear.
