To use the Allegria Tie Bottom, simply put it on like regular swim bottoms. Adjust the drawstrings at the front and back to get the right amount of coverage for your comfort. Tie the sides to your preferred tightness for a trendy look. Remember, this is a final - sale item, so make sure to double - check your size before purchasing. When it comes to maintenance, rinse the swim bottom with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang it to dry in a shaded area. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the fabric and the print.
