Product Information
Full details
The Elomi Plain Sailing Plunge Bikini Top is designed for adult women who seek the reliable support of a high-quality lingerie bra combined with a stylish, vacation-ready swimwear aesthetic. Featuring an underwired plunge silhouette, it provides excellent coverage while accentuating natural curves, though users should note that the non-padded cups offer a natural, soft-tissue fit rather than a shaped or molded profile.

FAQs
Is this bikini top padded?
No, this design features non-padded cups to provide a natural, soft-touch fit.
Can I wear the ruffles off the shoulder?
Yes, the ruffle detailing is designed for versatile styling, allowing you to wear it on or off the shoulders.
How do I find my size in this model?
It is best to use your current size in other Elomi bras, as the brand maintains consistent sizing standards across their lingerie and swimwear.
What is the purpose of the powernet lining?
The powernet lining is an internal mesh fabric that provides extra structural support and ensures the band remains stable and secure.
How should I wash this bikini top?
Hand wash in cool water using a gentle, chlorine-safe detergent and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
The underwire feels uncomfortable or digs into the sternum
Ensure the band is not too tight; you should be able to fit two fingers under the band comfortably. If discomfort persists, consider if the cup size is too small.
The straps are slipping during wear
Adjust the sliders on the back of the straps for a snugger fit, ensuring they are tightened evenly on both sides.
The fabric is losing its elasticity over time
Ensure you are rinsing the suit thoroughly after every use in chlorine or salt water, as these elements degrade swimwear-grade nylon quickly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Combines the trusted fit of Elomi lingerie with swimwear functionality
- Versatile ruffle design offers off-the-shoulder styling
- Powernet backing provides extra stability
- Plunging neckline is flattering for various bust types
Cons
- Non-padded cups do not provide artificial shaping or nipple coverage
- Requires specific band and cup sizing for the best support
- Ruffle detail may not suit those looking for a minimalist aesthetic
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the band sits level across your back and the center gore of the underwire rests flat against your sternum. Because this is a specialty-sized piece, it is recommended to use your current well-fitting Elomi bra size as a baseline. For care, always rinse your bikini top in fresh, cool water immediately after use in salt water or chlorine to preserve the elastic fibers. Hand wash with a gentle detergent and lay the piece flat to dry in the shade; avoid wringing out the cups to maintain the integrity of the underwire and fabric shape.
