To wear this bikini bottom, simply slide it on like you would any other swimsuit bottom. Make sure the soft - knotted macrame details are on the sides for a stylish look. When choosing a size, keep in mind that it runs true to size. Before wearing it for the first time, it's a good idea to rinse it in fresh water to remove any chemicals from the manufacturing process. After each use, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water to get rid of salt, sand, or chlorine. Hang it to dry in a shaded area to prevent the colors from fading. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach when washing, as this could damage the nylon and spandex fabric. With proper care, your Tanner plaid bikini bottom will last you many beach days.
