FAQs
Is the top padded?
This model features darts at the bust for shaping rather than removable or integrated padding.
Can the straps be removed completely?
The straps are designed to be adjustable for a secure fit; they are not intended to be fully removed.
How do I choose the right size?
This specific piece is designed with a 32 band size. We recommend measuring your under-bust circumference to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the material composition?
The top is crafted from high-quality polyester, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to environmental wear in swimwear.
Can I machine wash this bikini top?
Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the shape of the bust darts and the integrity of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Top feels loose while swimming
Tighten the adjustable straps to provide more vertical tension and ensure the back hook is on the tightest setting.
Fabric appears stretched or faded
Ensure you are rinsing the garment with fresh water after every use and avoiding harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the back hook closure is secured firmly. Adjust the straps to your preferred tension before entering the water. For long-term maintenance, rinse the bikini top in cool, fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine or saltwater to prevent fabric degradation. It is recommended to hand wash this item in cold water with mild detergent and lay it flat to dry in the shade, avoiding tumble drying or ironing, which can damage the polyester fibers.
