Okay this is the FIRST bikini that actually changes my whole post-swim vibe. I step out, towel off, and I feel dry + comfy so fast, no clingy “wet” feeling following me to the car or lunch. It honestly feels like freedom compared to my old bikinis.
Every beach day ended with me hiding under a towel… until I found the fabric that dries in 20 min.
I was still stuck to my seat when the bill arrived. 52 minutes after swimming, my $140 bikini left a cold & clammy butt-print on the chair. My friends? Dry and ordering espresso martinis.
Something in me snapped, so I shipped four different swimsuits to a textile expert friend and told him: “Time every second.”

Independent lab note
Let Dr. L. Lopes, São Paulo Textile Institute explain the fabric
“The yarn has a hydrophobic finish, water beads instead of soaking. ~20 minutes is realistic under normal beach airflow.”
Hydrophobic finish
Water beads
Faster dry
Visual proof: water beads on the surface (not absorbed).
Not a “coating that washes off”, the water-repellent behavior comes from the yarn structure and finish, designed for quicker drying.
Real talk
“Okay… but does it feel like a plastic bag?”
I’ve bought bikinis that looked cute… then the second they got wet, they felt cheap, clingy, and annoying. So I tested Drïa properly, on skin, with movement, and under bright light.
- Soft on skin Not stiff. Not scratchy. Just smooth and comfortable.
- Moves with you Four-way stretch so it doesn’t dig in when you sit, walk, or swim.
- Confidence test: passed We tested dark fabric under bright light, no see-through, even when wet.
My honest takeaway
It feels like a premium bikini first, and the quick-dry part is what makes you never want to go back.
