Product Information
Full details
The Elomi Porto Rafti Plunge Bikini Top is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and supportive swimwear with a vibrant, tropical aesthetic. Its key benefit is offering the secure fit of an Elomi lingerie bra in a bikini style, featuring a tropical palm leaf pattern on an ocean blue base. A minor consideration is that it requires hand washing to maintain its fabric integrity and elasticity.

FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Elomi sizing guide. Typically, measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). The Porto Rafti Plunge Bikini Top is designed with lingerie-like sizing, so accurate measurements are key.
Is this bikini top suitable for larger busts?
Yes, Elomi is known for designing supportive swimwear specifically for fuller busts. The underwire and structured cups offer significant support.
What is the benefit of LYCRA XTRA LIFE elastane?
LYCRA XTRA LIFE elastane provides enhanced durability, resisting damage from chlorine, heat, and sunscreen lotions, which helps the fabric maintain its shape and elasticity longer than standard elastane.
Can I machine wash this bikini top?
No, the care instructions specify hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the fabric, underwire, and elastic, leading to loss of shape and support.
What does 'underwire plunge' mean?
It means the bikini top has built-in underwire for lift and shape, combined with a lower, plunging neckline designed for a flattering and often more revealing look.
How should I care for the bikini top to ensure it lasts?
Always hand wash in cool water with mild detergent after each use. Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out excess water, and lay flat or hang to dry, keeping it out of direct sunlight. Never tumble dry or iron.
What makes the fit similar to an Elomi lingerie bra?
The design incorporates construction techniques and support features typically found in Elomi's bra collections, including a supportive band, well-formed cups, and careful strap placement, adapted for swimwear.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is sitting correctly and not too tight.
Lack of support
Verify that the band size and cup size are correct. Ensure all straps, including shoulder straps, are properly adjusted and tightened as needed.
Fabric losing elasticity or shape
Follow the hand wash only instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents, hot water, and machine drying, as these can degrade the fabric.
Color fading
Rinse the garment thoroughly after each wear, especially after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. Dry away from direct sunlight.
