Swim suits
TMJ:
We only wear them when we have company, not often, but enough. My question is, how to keep your suits from stretching and fading? When we use them, we rinse them out really well, I think, in clear water, but they still are faded and badly stretched. It is not a big expense, but for me, and I think, most women, picking out the right suit can be a traumatic event.... ANy thoughts or advise? Thanks in advance.

Wash after use, use an extra rinse cycle, and air dry if possible....I've always used Tide.....I think my mom used to use Woolite on suits....Neither of us has had any issue, leastwise not immediately.....eventually, however, it all goes to pot.
Good luck!

Most experienced soakers say NOT to wash your suits with any kind of soap as it will turn your tub into a giant mound of foam, even if you rinse well.
We bought new suits for the tub and ran them thru the rinse cycle before wearing them. They only get used in the tub (when we do use suits). We always shower afterwards to keep the itchies away and we rinse the suits in the shower (no soap tho) and air dry.
If they do go bad, we will buy another suit. Wait till they go on sale at the end of the summer.

We don't use our suits often either, so we buy several really cheap ones during after season sales. Who cares what they look like? We have nice suits for pools and traveling.
Bonibelle:
I hope you have invested in some nice suits for your upcoming cruise! I am jealous just thinking about it.
The shows, the food, the ports, the food, the beautiful sunsets, the food, the pools, the food! did I mention they have wonderful food? Might want to get those suits about 1 size larger! ;D
