FAQs
Is this bikini top machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand-wash in cold water to protect the integrity of the fabric and the closure.
Does the material provide UV protection?
While the polyester construction offers some natural resistance, it is not certified as UPF clothing; please continue to use sunscreen.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after leaving the pool to prevent chlorine-induced fabric degradation.
How do I determine the right size?
This product follows standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the product title (e.g., UK 8) and match it to your standard swimwear size.
What should I do if the clasp becomes stiff?
Rinse the clasp thoroughly with warm, fresh water to dissolve any dried salt or pool chemical buildup that may be causing friction.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping during use
Adjust the sliders on the straps to tighten them, ensuring they are even on both sides.
Clasp feels loose
Inspect the clasp mechanism for any sand or debris, rinse with fresh water, and ensure it clicks fully into the locked position.
Fabric losing shape
Ensure you are hand-washing the item and avoiding excessive wringing, which can stretch the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your & Other Stories bikini top, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water. Hand-wash with a mild detergent and lay the garment flat to dry in the shade to prevent the polyester fibers from stretching or fading. Avoid using bleach, tumble dryers, or ironing, as these can permanently damage the fabric's elasticity and shape. When choosing your size, remember that this model follows UK sizing standards, and ensuring a correct fit in the band is essential for the clasp to function optimally.
