Machine wash cold on delicate cycle, or hand wash. Lay flat to dry.
Do not iron. Dry in shade. Do not wring or scrub.
Do not use chlorine-based whiteners or stain removers. Do not use fabric softeners.
Wash only with similar colors.
Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp edges to prevent damage to the fabric.
Your Swimsuit is made with a premium quality fabric, which feels incredibly smooth and soft to the touch, and therefore should be treated as careful as other fabrics of similar high-end appeal, like silk or rayon. Be attentive when sitting or leaning against pool borders or steps made of stone or concrete finishes, as rubbing the fabric of your Bang! swimsuit against those may damage the appearance of the fabric.
Also be careful with swimming pools, jacuzzis, or similar places where water may have a high concentration of chlorine. Exposing the type of high-quality/delicate fabric of this swimsuit to water with unbalanced levels of pH (as in when high concentrations of chlorine or other chemicals are present) may leave residues of permanent discoloration ("yellowing effect") on the fibers of the garment. In case exposure happens, we recommend washing and rinse your swimsuit with fresh clean water as soon as possible. Leaving your swimsuit to dry if it's wet with chlorinated water, may create yellow residues of color on the fabric, causing permanent damage to its fibers.

Perfect just like Barbie & Ken
These are the 4th pair of show shorts I've gotten. They are the perfect length. Love the vibrant colors and patterns they come in. The fabric is soft and the mesh doesn't irritate my skin like other swim shorts. Comfortable over a swim brief as well. Show shorts are my go to swim shorts, will buy more in the future!

Great Quality and fit
It looks exactly as shown on the model and is of great quality. Highly recommend this product.



Comfortable and fun
The “Ken” retro look shorts got a lot of compliments at a recent pool party, especially when I paired them with the matching button down top! Super comfortable to wear too.
