Troubleshooting

Bikini top is not supportive enough.

Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly and tightened to provide adequate lift. Verify that the band size is correct and fits snugly.

Straps are digging into shoulders.

Loosen the adjustable shoulder straps slightly. Ensure the overall fit of the band is correct; if the band is too loose, the straps will bear too much weight.

Color fading after washing.

Always hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying and rinse thoroughly after each wear to remove pool or sea chemicals.
