Using this bikini bottom is easy. Just put it on like you would any other swim bottom. When choosing a size, remember it runs true to size, so pick based on your regular measurements. For maintenance, rinse it with fresh water after each use to get rid of salt, sand, and chlorine. Don't wring it out too hard, just gently squeeze the excess water. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to prevent the color from fading. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the fabric. With proper care, this bikini bottom will stay in great shape for many beach days to come.
