To use your Dove reversible bikini bottom, simply put it on like any regular bikini bottom. You can choose either the floral or gingham side to show based on your mood. When you're in the water, the 80% nylon and 20% spandex blend will keep you comfortable and give you a good range of motion. After using it, rinse it with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Don't wring it out too hard as it might damage the fabric. Hang it to dry in a shaded area. For storage, fold it neatly and keep it in a cool, dry place. Also, make sure to check the size chart before purchasing to ensure a proper fit as it runs true to size.
