To use this bikini top, simply put it on like a regular bralette. Adjust the back straps to your desired tightness for a comfortable fit. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand - wash the bikini top in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. After washing, gently squeeze out the excess water and lay it flat to dry. Don't wring it out as it may cause the fabric to lose its shape. Also, when not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
