Troubleshooting

Bikini top not maintaining shape

Ensure you are following the hand wash and dry flat instructions. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can distort the fabric.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zip is not caught. Gently move the zip up and down. If it persists, a small amount of natural lubricant like coconut oil (applied sparingly to the teeth only) might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Color fading

Always use cold water for washing and dry the garment away from direct sunlight. Exposure to strong UV rays can cause colors to fade over time.
