How to Care for Your Fuller‑Bust Swimwear (and Make It Last Longer)

Your Atolla Swim pieces are designed to support, lift and love your curves — so let’s keep them looking gorgeous season after season. With the right care, your fuller‑bust swimwear will stay vibrant, supportive and ready for every beach day, spa trip and winter‑sun escape.

Here’s your beach‑girl guide to caring for DD+ swimwear.

1. Rinse Your Swimwear Straight After Wearing It

Saltwater, chlorine and sunscreen can break down swim fabrics over time. To keep your Atolla Swim fuller‑bust bikinis and swimsuits looking fresh:

  • Rinse in cool, clean water as soon as you’re done swimming
  • Remove any sand, chlorine or product residue
  • Avoid hot water — it weakens elastic and colour

A quick rinse = longer‑lasting colour and shape.

2. Hand Wash Only (It Makes a Huge Difference)

Machine washing is the fastest way to damage supportive swimwear — especially DD+ styles with underwires.

For best results:

  • Fill a sink with cool water
  • Add a small amount of mild detergent
  • Gently swish your swimsuit (no twisting or wringing)
  • Rinse well
  • Press out water and lay flat to dry

Hand washing helps your fuller‑bust swimwear keep its lift, support and fit.

3. Keep Swimwear Away from Heat & Direct Sunlight

We love sunshine… but your swimwear doesn’t.

Avoid:

  • Drying in direct sunlight
  • Using a tumble dryer
  • Ironing (ever)
  • Hot tubs — heat + chemicals = fabric damage

Let your swimsuit air‑dry indoors or in the shade to protect elasticity and colour.

4. Store Your Swimwear Carefully

How you store your swimwear matters — especially supportive fuller‑bust pieces.

  • Don’t crush or fold cups
  • Lay flat in a drawer or on a shelf
  • Use a mesh laundry bag if you want extra protection

This helps your bikini tops keep their shape and prevents dents or creases.

5. Rotate Your Swimwear to Make It Last Longer

If you’ve got a few Atolla sets (love that for you), rotate them. Elastic needs time to recover, especially in DD+ swimwear.

Wearing the same suit every day = faster wear. Rotating = longer life, better support.

6. Be Mindful with Accessories

Metal jewellery, rough beach bags and sharp accessories can snag delicate swim fabrics.

When in doubt, keep it simple while wearing your favourite Atolla pieces.

Your Swimwear Will Love You Back

With the right care, your Atolla Swim fuller‑bust swimwear will stay supportive, vibrant and ready for every adventure — from beach days to spa nights to winter escapes. Treat it kindly and it’ll stay your go‑to for seasons to come.
