To wear your Jenna ribbed high - waist bikini bottom, simply step into it and adjust the waistband to sit comfortably on your hips. Make sure the high - cut part is properly aligned on your thighs. When you're done using it after a day at the beach or pool, rinse it with fresh water as soon as possible to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Then, gently squeeze out the excess water. Don't wring it as it may damage the fabric. Hang it to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight. For cleaning, use a mild detergent and wash it by hand. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach as they can affect the elasticity of the spandex. Store it in a cool, dry place, and it will stay in great condition for many beach days to come.
