All of our Swimwear is made with love in Sydney, Australia and we pride ourselves on the quality of our product. There's nothing we love more than seeing someone rep a pair of Smugglers or Smugglettes from many years ago. Here's how you can best look after your Budgys:

• Cold wash after swimming, especially in a chlorinated pool (the fabric lasts approx. 80-120 hours in chlorinated pools, pending chlorine levels) 
• Hang to dry, or maybe take a long walk on a hot beach. Maybe enjoy a beer while you do? We won't judge.  
• Avoid washing with anything that has velcro (e.g. board shorts) or zips  If possible, avoid using a Top Loader Washing Machine. If that's the only option, tie up the drawstring or put them in a delicates bag (this will save you losing a drawstring) 
• Avoid sitting on rough surfaces such as rocks or concrete as this will damage the fabric.

Fun fact: we've got a line of even more hard-core chlorine resistant Swimwear coming in the near future).
