How should I dry the swimsuit after washing?

Troubleshooting
Swimsuit feels tight or uncomfortable after wear.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still an issue, consider that the fabric is designed to be snug for athletic performance; rinse thoroughly after use and allow it to dry completely. Check care instructions to ensure no washing errors occurred.
Gold zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Rinse the zip area thoroughly with fresh water to remove any salt or sand residue. Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (specifically for zippers) can be applied carefully to the teeth, avoiding fabric contact.
Color fading or fabric losing elasticity.
This can be due to prolonged exposure to chlorine, salt water, or direct sunlight, or improper washing. Always rinse immediately after use, wash by hand in cold water with mild detergent, and dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying and harsh chemicals.
