Dive in without fear
Do you love your Inairi swimsuit but hesitate to wear it in the sea for fear of it losing its color or elasticity? In this guide, we break down its composition, how it reacts to sea salt, and our best tips for extending its lifespan.
1. A marine-friendly material
Inairi swimsuits, like the Togui model, are made from recycled polyamide (85%) and elastane (20%) , a combination that offers:
- Elasticity : elastane returns to its original shape after each stretch.
- Chemical resistance : polyamide can withstand salt water without deteriorating.
- Fine weave : minimizes the adhesion of salt crystals.
2. How salt affects your swimsuit
- pH imbalance – salt can dry out fibers if it remains too long.
- Abrasion – sand stuck to the mesh, if not rinsed, wears down the fabric.
- Discoloration – prolonged exposure to sunlight + salt can fade colors.
3. Impact of seawater and maintenance
| Stage | Effect of salt | Inairi Tip |
|---|---|---|
| After each bath | Impregnated salt | Rinse immediately with fresh water |
| Upon returning home | dried fiberas | Gentle wash at 30°C, without fabric softener |
| Drying | Risk of yellowing | Hang flat in the shade |
4. 5 tips to preserve your swimsuit
- Quick rinse: bring a small bottle of fresh water for rinsing on site.
- Gentle soap: opt for a sulfate-free cleansing gel.
- Mesh bag: wash your jersey separately, in a mesh bag to avoid snags.
- Natural drying: avoid tumble dryers or radiators.
- Rotation: alternate several jerseys so they have time to breathe between uses.
Quick FAQs
