To use these Joni Bottoms, simply put them on like regular swim bottoms before you head to the seaside or pool. Remember, since this is a final sale item, it can't be returned, so make sure you're happy with your purchase. When it comes to maintenance, rinse them with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Hang them to dry in a shaded area to avoid color fading. Don't use harsh detergents as they might damage the fabric.
