FAQs

What material is the bikini top made of?

The bikini top is made from a lightweight, quick-drying fabric with gentle stretch for comfort.

Does this come with matching bottoms?

No, this is a single bikini top and does not include matching bottoms. You will need to purchase bottoms separately.

How do I adjust the fit of the bikini top?

The fit can be adjusted using the halterneck tie at the back of the neck and the side ties at the bottom of the cups.

What is the best way to clean this bikini top?

Hand wash only with a mild detergent in cool water. Lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

Is the ombre design likely to fade?

While designed for durability, excessive exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals can cause fading. Proper care, including rinsing after use and drying in the shade, will help maintain the color.

What size should I choose?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for accurate measurements. The adjustable ties offer some flexibility in fit.

Can this bikini top be worn for active swimming?

The tie fastenings offer adjustable support, making it suitable for casual swimming and lounging. For high-impact activities, ensure the ties are secured very tightly.

Troubleshooting

Bikini top feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the halterneck and side ties to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. Loosen for more room or tighten for greater support and coverage.

Color fading over time

Rinse the bikini top immediately after use. Hand wash with mild detergent and dry flat in the shade. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and excessive direct sunlight.

Ties becoming undone

Ensure the knots are tied securely after adjusting. Re-tie if they loosen during wear.
