When the top suit is beyond repair then I toss that, buy a new under suit and rotate the old under suit to become the new top suit. Just a suggestion.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909327887647592590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124400046569770672.post-66995171767979022572010-06-04T09:46:18.263-04:002010-06-04T09:46:18.263-04:00That has happened to me - and I'm careful to r...That has happened to me - and I'm careful to rinse my swimsuits out after washing.

Usually they need to be washed in cold water... hot water can mess with the lycra.

My Lycra jammers would last about 3 months max before they became indecent. I'm at 6 months with the polyester jammer and no signs of wear (on the front or back). Not sure about the women's, but the men's sized smaller than the lycra (mainly because it isn't as stretchy), so you may have to go up a size.<br /><br />Good luck!Ironman By Thirtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148960105643826347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124400046569770672.post-9297849530874758692010-06-04T08:19:02.742-04:002010-06-04T08:19:02.742-04:00That sucks about the swimsuit!!
