How to keep dye from coming out?

Question

I just wore my new bikini for the first time and when I took it off I draped it over the side of the tub to dry out a little.

When I went back a couple of hours later there was dye dripping out of it into the tub. I'm really glad I didn't wash it with a ton of other clothes first.

Is there any way to keep the dye from coming out when I do wash it?

Answer 1

Return it and get a refund or a different suit

Answer 2

If you really like the bikini then I'd suggest that you only wash it on it's own, I would further suggest that you only use cold water to minimise the dye running out. Have a great day.
