FAQs
Is the padding permanent?
No, the padding is removable, allowing you to choose between extra support or a lighter feel.
How do I ensure the right fit for the 32 band size?
Since this top features a drawstring back, you can pull the ties to achieve a snug fit that conforms to your specific frame.
Can this bikini top be machine washed?
It is highly recommended to hand wash only to protect the elastic components and the shape of the gathered bust.
What material is this top made of?
It is crafted from 100% polyester, chosen for its durability in water-based environments.
Does this top come with matching bottoms?
While this is a standalone top, it is designed with a neutral blue-and-white stripe that coordinates easily with various blue or white bikini briefs.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping during activity
Ensure the drawstring back is tied firmly and the straps are adjusted to the correct tension before entering the water.
Pads shifting inside the pocket
Remove the pads, flatten them out, and re-insert them carefully, ensuring they are placed deep into the pockets before wearing.
Fabric feels loose after swimming
Polyester can relax when wet; simply tighten the back drawstring and strap adjusters to regain the desired level of support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: After swimming in chlorinated or salt water, rinse the bikini top thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove corrosive chemicals.
- Hand Wash Only: Use a mild, non-bleaching detergent. Avoid using a machine, as the agitation can damage the delicate drawstring and adjustable straps.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze excess water out by laying the top flat between two towels rather than twisting the fabric.
- Air Dry: Always dry the garment in the shade. Direct sunlight can fade the blue hues and break down the elastic components over time.
- Storage: Store the bikini in a dry, cool place. Ensure the cups are not crushed to maintain the integrity of the removable pads.
