FAQs
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation when worn, offering excellent sun protection.
Can I wear this bikini top for active water sports?
While the top provides support and can be worn for swimming, its multiway styling offers more flexibility than specialized sports swimwear. For high-impact activities, ensure straps are adjusted for maximum security.
How do I adjust the straps for multiway styling?
The straps are removable and adjustable. You can detach them from the back or front clips and reattach them in different configurations (e.g., halter neck, cross-back) to suit your preference and outfit.
Is the padding removable?
Yes, the padded cups are designed to be removable, allowing you to adjust the level of padding or remove them entirely if preferred.
What is the best way to wash this bikini top?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Rinse well after use and dry flat in the shade. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or using bleach.

Troubleshooting
Straps are not staying in place
Ensure the adjustable strap sliders are tightened correctly. If they continue to slip, the elastic may be worn, and it might be time to consider a replacement.
Fabric color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying and avoid washing with harsh detergents. Always rinse thoroughly after use in chlorinated pools or saltwater.
Pads shifting inside the cups
Remove the pads and re-insert them flat before wearing. Ensure the bikini top is washed and dried correctly, as this can sometimes cause pads to move.
Stretch loss in fabric
This can occur with extended wear and washing. Follow care instructions diligently, avoiding high heat and harsh chemicals, to preserve the fabric's elasticity.
