Machine wash cold on delicate cycle, or hand wash.
Do not iron or 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.

Shows off my assets well
Looking forward to summer weather already! Fabric is luxe feeling and the fit is better than any other pair of beach shorts I've owned (my husband commented how well they highlight my back side). Highly recommend this cut of shorts.

Love these shorts that I bought for my husband. Glad I went 1 size larger as other reviews had mentioned.

Hilarious. Quality product. Bit shorter than I expected but that’s on me.

Perfect
Buying stuff online always brings out concern that it won’t fit…. Took a chance and got these trunks. They hit right above the mid things, stretch to allow for good leg movement, and aren’t just a blob of material like other brands. Great for those picky shoppers who want the quality fit and material.

Not Exactly As Advertised
Don’t get me wrong it looks like the outfit in the movie but only from far away. The material for the too is stretchy which is nice but it kindah makes it hard to be unwrinkly. I honestly think I could have lived with that, but the material itself feels cheap for the price you are paying, and just trying on the outift 3 buttons immediately fell off of the top. The bottoms were cute tho and looked and felt amazing I was so sad
Shape enhancer
The shorts are great, its hard to find a pair of short shorts that deliver the the total appearance u r looking for and when wearing, they do there best not to label you one way or another. Being a bodybuilder it is very difficult to get tbe right size that are shape enhancing as i said but not overdone. It would be great to offer other short shorts in lesser expensive material. Please continue the s/s style so i can enjoy them begore my age restricts me. Lol ......Mike

Love the colors!
Love the colors and fit! Got to me quickly!!
