To use this bikini bottom, simply put it on like you would any other swimwear. Make sure it fits comfortably around your hips and the high - leg cut is positioned well for a flattering look. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, rinse it in cool water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Don't use harsh detergents; instead, opt for a mild soap. Avoid wringing it out forcefully. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to prevent the fabric from fading. Also, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. This bikini bottom is true to size, so choose your regular size for the best fit.
