Using this Ivy string bikini bottom is super easy. Just put it on like any other bikini bottom. When you're out in the sun, make sure to apply sunscreen to protect your skin as the coverage is skimpy. After use, rinse it with fresh water to get rid of salt, sand, or chlorine. Don't use harsh detergents; instead, use a mild soap. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to avoid fading of the Electric print. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use, and it'll stay in great shape for many beach days to come.
