To use this bikini bottom, simply put it on like you would any other swimsuit. Before wearing, make sure to check for any loose threads or damages. When swimming, be aware that the micro style might ride up a bit, but the high - leg cut should stay in place well. After use, rinse it in cool water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Don't use harsh detergents; instead, use a mild soap. Let it air dry flat, and avoid direct sunlight as it can fade the gingham pattern. Store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition for your next beach adventure.
