How to Store Your Swimsuit

You know to lay it flat as it dries, but it's also worth considering this when you're packing, too. Avoid the scrunch when you're packing, especially with bikinis. It can be really tempting to overpack and squish just one more swimsuit into that teeny gap. Don't do it; you're just ruining a perfectly good suit, and you'll regret it the day you're packing for your next beach trip.
