FAQs
How do I determine my correct size for this bikini top?
Refer to Elomi's specific sizing guide, typically found on their website or retailer's product page. Measure your underbust and bust circumference to find the best fit, similar to how you would for a bra.
Can the ruffle be completely removed?
The ruffle is designed to be worn on or off the shoulders, suggesting it is flexible but likely attached. It cannot be fully removed.
What makes the LYCRA® XTRA LIFETM fabric beneficial?
This technology provides enhanced resistance to chlorine, heat, and sunscreen lotions, helping the fabric retain its shape and elasticity for a longer lifespan compared to standard swimwear fabric.
Is this bikini top suitable for swimming laps?
Yes, the underwire and powernet lining offer significant support, making it suitable for swimming. However, the plunge style might offer less coverage during very vigorous activity compared to a mastectomy or sports bra style.
How should I care for my bikini top to ensure it lasts?
Always hand wash in cold water with mild detergent after each wear. Lay flat to dry, avoiding direct sunlight and tumble dryers. Never iron or bleach.
What is the main difference between this and a regular bikini top?
This top incorporates the structured support and fit principles of Elomi's lingerie, featuring underwires and powernet lining, which is typically absent in standard bikini tops.
Can this bikini top be worn as a bra under clothing?
No, this is designed specifically as swimwear. While it offers bra-like support, its construction and style are not intended for wear as underwear.
Troubleshooting
Straps dig in or feel uncomfortable.
Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. Ensure the correct size is being worn; an ill-fitting size can cause discomfort.
Underwire feels restrictive.
Verify the correct cup size is selected. Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the base of the breast tissue. Proper fit is crucial for comfort.
Fabric loses elasticity or shape.
Ensure the garment is only hand-washed in cold water and never put in a tumble dryer. Rinse thoroughly after each use.
Ruffle detail does not stay in place.
Experiment with wearing the ruffle on or off the shoulders. Ensure the straps are securely adjusted to help hold the ruffle in its desired position.
