To use this bikini bottom, simply put it on like you would any other swimsuit. Since it has a micro coverage, it's great for a beach day when you want to show off some skin and get a more even tan. When it comes to maintenance, always hand - wash it in cool water to keep the delicate fabric in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents as they can damage the recycled nylon and spandex blend. After washing, gently squeeze out the water and let it air dry. Don't wring it out forcefully. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. And always wear it with care because of its soft and delicate nature.
