If you love swimming, a swimsuit is indispensable. There are so many different types of swimsuits on the market, how do you choose one? Reminder: Keep in mind the following points↓↓↓
(1) Precautions when purchasing
1. Look at the material
The materials of swimsuits currently on the market The combination of nylon and spandex is better, followed by the combination of polyester and spandex. This is not only because nylon is softer and smoother than polyester in terms of wearing comfort, but also has better wear resistance and moisture absorption properties. In addition, the content of spandex is also an important indicator for judging the quality of swimsuits. The spandex content in swimsuits is preferably 15%-20%. Such swimsuits can expand and contract freely with body movements.
2. Look at the appearance
For the swimsuit you buy, pay attention to check the sewing quality to see if the sewing of the swimsuit is “three needles and five threads” stitches, or choose to A swimsuit with a wider trace (lined side width). In addition, you can also check whether the sewing stitches are straight and smooth. For swimsuits with buckles, suspenders, and tethers, check the firmness of these details.
3. Touch with your hands
You can lightly touch the fabric with your hands to feel how comfortable it is in contact with the skin. A good swimsuit should be very tight, but the greater the elasticity, the better. It should rebound and recover well, and it can still return to its original shape after multiple stretches. Just “pull it out” is not enough. A good swimsuit must not only “pull it out”, but also “retract it”.
4. Appropriate elasticity
Generally, swimsuits are tighter and more elastic than normal clothing. On the one hand, they have sufficient elasticity to ensure large-scale movements in the water, and on the other hand, they are elastic and close-fitting. The swimsuit can reduce the resistance of the water. If it is not close-fitting enough, it will not only hinder movement but also easily cause the swimsuit to slip off. Therefore, when purchasing, consumers can pull it with their hands or try it on to feel the fit of the swimsuit to their skin and body. Swimwear that is too loose, too tight, or has a strong sense of pressure are not suitable.
(2) Precautions for use
The chlorinated water in seawater and swimming pools will affect the service life of swimsuits, so you can fully wet it with clean water before entering the water, which can reduce the risk of seawater Or the infiltration and corrosion of swimsuits by chlorinated water in the swimming pool can increase the service life of swimsuits. After swimming, remember to wash your swimsuit with clean water in time. Do not use washing powder, bleach, etc. The water temperature should be below 30°C. After hand washing, gently wring it out and put the swimsuit in a cool and dry place to dry. Do not use high temperature tumble drying. and ironing, and do not expose the swimsuit directly to the hot sun to prevent the fabric from becoming hard and brittle, which will affect normal wear.
