To use this bikini bottom, simply put it on like you would any regular swim bottom. When you're ready to head to the beach or pool, it's all set to go with its matching top. As for care, after each use, rinse it in fresh water to get rid of salt, sand, or chlorine. Don't wring it out too hard as it might damage the fabric. Instead, gently squeeze out the excess water and let it air - dry in the shade. Keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snags. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place, and it'll stay in great shape for your next swim adventure.
