Myth 1: Any old swimsuit will do.
Reality Check:
Girl, no. That stretched-out bikini from two summers ago? Yeah, that’s not hot spring material. The heat and minerals in those pools will wreck your suit faster than you can say “spa day.” If you want your swimsuit to survive more than one soak, look for something that’s built for the heat something that won’t sag, fade, or feel like slime after round two.
Myth 2: Flashy = Insta-worthy.
Reality Check:
Those suits with a million straps, gold rings, or weird cutouts? Cute in theory, annoying in real life. They trap water, shift around, and never sit right after you get wet. A sleek, simple style think matte fabric, solid color, clean lines will have you looking effortless in every pic without the wardrobe malfunctions.
Myth 3: The more coverage, the better.
Reality Check:
You’d think a full-coverage suit would be “safe,” but nope. Thick fabric gets heavy, soggy, and sticks in all the wrong places. Go for something lightweight and quick-drying. Trust me, walking around feeling like a wet sponge isn’t the move.
Myth 4: Spa suits are only for model bodies.
Reality Check:
Absolutely not. Hot spring style is all about finding your fit not fitting into someone else’s mold. High-waisted bottoms? Universally flattering. Vertical lines or thinner straps? They’ll elongate your frame if you’re on the petite side. Confidence > size. Always.
Myth 5: Hang it and forget it.
Reality Check:
Please don’t just toss it over a chair and call it a day. Rinse your suit with cool water and a little gentle soap after every soak. No twisting, no wringing. Lay it flat or hang it somewhere shady. Oh and if you’re spa-hopping or doing a weekend trip, pack at least two suits. Your future self will thank you.
