Question

If the bathing suit is clean, (and it usually is) why cant it be of absorbent material? mutty

Answer

Answered by Rabbi Abadi

the issue is Sechita(Squeezing out water) not Kibbus(washing) By the way. Polyester is ok too. Why is it Sechita, I don't think any one has any use for water that might be squeezed from a bathing suit?
