When I started my journey into the world of jacuzzi, I was unsure about what to wear. After extensive research and experience, I’ve gained insights into the perfect jacuzzi attire.

What to Wear in a Jacuzzi: The Basics

When it comes to jacuzzi attire, the rule of thumb is to keep it simple. Swimwear is your best bet. Regular clothes like cotton t-shirts or shorts may feel fine at first, but they actually trap dirt, detergents, and fibers that can mess with the water’s balance.

Best fabrics for hot tubs:

• Nylon
• Spandex
• Polyester

These materials dry quickly, don’t hold onto detergent, and won’t damage the jacuzzi’s filters.

Accessories:

While not strictly necessary, some accessories can enhance the Jacuzzi experience. This can include a swim cap to protect hair from chlorine, goggles to protect the eyes, or earplugs to protect the ears from water pressure. Additionally, it’s a good idea to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated while in the Jacuzzi.

What Not to Wear

Not everything belongs in the hot tub. Here are a few things you’ll want to avoid:

1. Street Clothes

Skip jeans, shorts, t-shirts, or anything not made for swimming. Street clothes get heavy when wet, feel uncomfortable, and can carry dirt, detergents, and bacteria into the water.

2. Undergarments

Underwear, bras, and boxers aren’t a substitute for swimwear. They’re not designed for soaking, and they can be unhygienic for both you and other bathers. Stick with proper swimwear instead.

3. Jewelry

Rings, bracelets, and necklaces might look nice, but they’re risky in a hot tub. They can slip off, get damaged, or react with the chemicals in the water, which sometimes causes skin irritation or discoloration. Best bet? Take jewelry off beforehand and keep it safe in a dry spot.

Jacuzzi Attire Essentials

Wearing the right outfit in a jacuzzi isn’t just about looks, it’s about comfort, safety, and hygiene. Here are a few things to keep in mind before your next soak:

1. Why Proper Attire Matters

The right clothing makes your experience more enjoyable, whether you’re relaxing alone or hanging out with friends. It keeps you comfortable, confident, and appropriately dressed for the setting.

2. Choosing the Perfect Swimwear

Swimwear is the foundation of jacuzzi attire. Go for something made of quick-drying, chlorine-resistant fabric like nylon or spandex. These materials hold up well in hot water and won’t wear out quickly.

3. Don’t Forget Footwear

It’s easy to overlook, but footwear can help prevent slips around wet surfaces. Simple water-resistant flip-flops or slip-on sandals are a smart choice for getting in and out safely.

4. Handy Accessories

A few extras can make your soak more relaxing:

• A robe or wrap for before and after the tub
• A towel close by
• Sunglasses or a hat if you’re outside
• A waterproof watch if you’re keeping an eye on time

5. Hygiene is Key

Always shower before using a jacuzzi and make sure your swimwear is clean. This helps keep the water fresh and pleasant for everyone. If you’re just setting up your hot tub, check out this guide on chemicals for hot tub start-up to keep the water safe and balanced.

Jacuzzi Attire for Women

Ladies have a lot of flexibility when it comes to hot tub outfits. The main goal is comfort, but style plays a role too.

• One-piece swimsuits: Great if you want full coverage and something that stays put.
• Bikinis or tankinis: Perfect for casual soaking, spa nights, or vacations.
• Sports-style swimwear: A good choice if you want support and don’t want to worry about adjusting straps.

Accessories to consider:

• A lightweight robe or wrap to throw on when you’re walking to and from the tub.
• Waterproof sandals or flip-flops for spa or public settings.
• A quick-dry towel close by so you’re not scrambling afterward.

Jacuzzi Attire for Men

For guys, the attire is usually pretty straightforward, but there are still a few things to know.

• Swim trunks: The most common and versatile option. Go for something lightweight and quick-drying.
• Board shorts: A little longer and looser, but still totally fine for casual hot tub use.
• Swim briefs: If you’re confident and in a spa or resort setting, these are an option too.

What to avoid: jeans, cotton shorts, or underwear. These hold onto water, get heavy, and can affect the jacuzzi water quality.

What to Wear in a Hot Tub in Winter (Especially for Women)

Winter soaking is amazing, but it comes with one challenge, getting in and out without freezing. The swimsuit itself doesn’t change, but what you bring along makes a huge difference.

• A thick, cozy robe to throw on immediately after stepping out.
• Spa slippers or slides so you’re not walking barefoot on cold ground.
• Warm towels (bonus points if you toss them in the dryer first).
• A beanie or headband if your hair gets cold easily.

For women, especially, this helps keep you comfortable without cutting your hot tub session short.

Extra Style and Comfort Tips

• Darker colors tend to hold up better in hot water and don’t risk going see-through.
• Keep a hair tie, scrunchie, or headband handy if you’d rather not fully dunk your hair.
• Choose what makes you feel relaxed. Confidence looks good on everyone.

Jacuzzi Etiquette 101

A few unspoken rules can save you from awkward moments:

• Always shower before getting in (it keeps the water clean for everyone).
• Avoid heavy lotions, oils, or makeup that can cloud the water.
• Keep attire modest in public or shared settings, it’s better to play it safe.

Safety Precautions

1. Wear a bathing suit or swim trunks that fit well and are comfortable. Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry, or accessories that could get tangled in the jets or drains of the hot tub. 
2. Rinse off your bathing suit or swim trunks before and after using the hot tub. This will assist in removing any dirt, sweat, or chemicals that could contaminate the water or irritate your skin. 
3. If you have long hair, tie it up or wear a cap to prevent it from getting caught in the jets or drains of the hot tub. 
4. Avoid wearing contact lenses in the hot tub, as they could get infected by bacteria or other germs in the water. Wear glasses or goggles instead, or remove them before entering the hot tub. 
5. Do not wear sunscreen, lotion, perfume, or cologne in the hot tub, as they could alter the water chemistry and cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. If you need to apply sunscreen, do it at least 15 minutes before using the hot tub and rinse it off thoroughly. 

Tips for Staying Comfortable and Safe in a Jacuzzi

1. Proper fit of swimwear:

To ensure a comfortable and safe experience in a Jacuzzi, it’s crucial to choose swimwear that fits properly. This means choosing a swimsuit that is not too tight or loose and allows for a full range of movement. Avoiding too close-fitting swimwear can prevent discomfort and chafing, while avoiding open swimwear can prevent slips and falls.

2. Avoiding overheating:

Spending too much time in a hot tub, especially at high temperatures, can cause overheating, which can be dangerous. To avoid overheating, it’s essential to take breaks, drink water, and monitor your body temperature.

3. Avoiding slips and falls:

Jacuzzis can be slippery, so it’s essential to be cautious when entering and exiting. To avoid slips and falls, it’s a good idea to use the handrails provided and to wear slip-resistant footwear. Further, avoiding running or horseplay in the Jacuzzi is crucial to prevent accidents. For more reading about hot tub clothing etiquette.
