How to wash colored swimwear (swimwear with no white fabric)

Our swimwear is available in seasonal, vibrant colors as well as in classic combinations such as black and white. The following tips apply to our colored swimsuits and bikinis made without white fabric. To keep your MYMARINI beautiful for a long time, you should follow these care instructions:

Immediately after swimming in chlorine and salt water, you should rinse your swimwear thoroughly with clear water. This will protect the color and elasticity of your MYMARINI.
Do not leave your rinsed MYMARINI in a bag or rolled up in a towel any longer than necessary. It is best to rinse it thoroughly again at home after transportation.
If necessary, wash your bikini or swimsuit in the washing machine at a maximum of 30 degrees. We also recommend using environmentally friendly detergents and a laundry bag.
After washing, hang your swimsuit or bikini to dry. Avoid direct sunlight – otherwise your styles will fade more quickly.

How to wash swimwear with white fabric

White fabric is more sensitive than other colors and therefore requires particularly gentle care. How should you wash swimsuits and bikinis with white fabric? We have also put together suitable care tips for you here:

For swimwear with white fabric, you should only choose hand wash. Do not wash MYMARINIs with white fabric in the washing machine to prevent discoloration.
For white fabric, it's also very important to rinse your swimwear with clean water after swimming in chlorinated or salt water. Don't leave your rinsed MYMARINI suit rolled up in a towel or bag for longer than necessary. At home, hand-wash your MYMARINI again using environmentally friendly detergent.
Carefully remove any stains from sunscreen, etc., as soon as possible using a small amount of gentle shampoo or stain remover.
Hang your bikini or swimsuit up to dry after washing and avoid direct sunlight.

How to wash swimsuits in the washing machine?

If the MYMARINI you've purchased does not have any white fabric, you can simply wash your swimwear in the washing machine. The choice of program is important: It is best to choose a gentle program at 30 degrees. Your styles should never be tumble dried. Also avoid wringing out your swimwear. After hand washing, only squeeze out your swimwear carefully to remove excess water. If you want to iron your MYMARINI, choose the lowest possible temperature or use a steamer on a low setting.

And because sustainability is important to us: It's best to use an environmentally friendly detergent and a laundry bag in the washing machine, like the one from Guppy, to wash your swimsuit or bikini.

What if I have a swimsuit from the SHINE collection?

We recommend using a mesh laundry bag when machine-washing your SHINE bikini or one-piece. This helps protect the gold trim.

How long does it take for my MYMARINI to dry?

Our styles are made from double-layered fabric. This means they provide reliable support, can be worn on both sides and gently shape the silhouette with the beloved "mini-shape effect". Due to the double-layered finish and thickness of the material, they take a little longer to dry. Beware of this and make sure that your swimsuit or bikini is completely dry before you fold it and put it in your closet or suitcase.

Should you wash your MYMARINI before wearing it for the first time?

Most people feel more comfortable if they wash their swimwear before wearing it for the first time. We recommend a quick hand wash before wearing it for the first time at the beach or pool. This will remove any dust particles or light color residue and make you feel completely comfortable in your new MYMARINI.
