FAQs

How do I ensure the best fit with the side tie fastenings?

Loosely tie the side ties initially, then adjust them gradually until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the ties are snug but not too tight to avoid discomfort.

Can I wear these bikini bottoms for activities other than swimming or lounging?

While designed for beach and poolside, the stretch fabric offers comfort for light beach activities. For strenuous water sports, ensure a secure tie and consider swimwear designed specifically for high impact.

What is the best way to care for the bead detail?

Gently hand wash the area with the bead detail. Avoid vigorous scrubbing or pulling on the beads. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

How should I wash these bikini bottoms?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly after each use and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach and tumble drying.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Given the adjustable side ties, you may have some flexibility. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the smaller size if you prefer a less revealing fit, or the larger size for more coverage and comfort.

Does the pattern affect the stretch or fit?

The stretch fabric is incorporated into the design to ensure comfort and fit regardless of the pattern. The pattern itself does not restrict the fabric's elasticity.

Troubleshooting

Ties loosening during wear

Ensure ties are knotted securely. If the fabric has stretched significantly over time, consider replacing the swimwear.

Bead detail becoming detached

Handle the area with the bead detail gently during washing and wear. If a bead detaches, it may be possible to reattach it with careful sewing.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Always rinse thoroughly with cold water after swimming in chlorinated or salt water.
