To use your Kailyn bikini top, simply put it on like a regular top and adjust the back ties to your desired tightness. When you're at the beach or pool, it'll make you look and feel great. As for maintenance, after each use, rinse it with fresh water to get rid of salt, chlorine, or sand. Don't wring it out, just gently squeeze the excess water. Let it dry flat in the shade to avoid damage from the sun. Avoid using harsh detergents; a mild soap is best. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from sharp objects that could tear the fabric. Also, keep in mind that while it's adjustable, don't over - tighten the back ties to prevent stretching the fabric.
