Talco String Bikini: Fit, Fabric and Care Basics

Start with the fabric, because it decides the care

The Talco String Bikini is made from a micro-modal blend: 92% viscose and 8% elastane. That blend is why the piece feels babypowder-soft and breathable, and it is also why the care instructions are stricter than you might expect for a small garment. Viscose-based fabrics can lose shape or shrink when exposed to high heat, so the label's hand-wash rule is not a suggestion you can skip.

The elastane gives the bikini its stretch and recovery, which matters at the hips and waist. Heat and tumbling are the two things most likely to break down that stretch over time.

Talco String Bikini at a glance

• String Bikini: Body: 92% viscose, 8% elastane (Style TALCO0551) The high viscose content explains the soft, breathable feel and the need for gentle washing.

  

• String Bikini: Cotton lined gusset A lined gusset is a practical detail for everyday wear and affects how you wash the piece.
• String Bikini: Hand wash, do not dry in the dryer This is the core care rule; following it protects the fabric and the elastic.

How to wash a Talco String Bikini

The supplied care evidence gives one clear instruction: hand wash, do not dry in the dryer. The steps below stay within that rule and avoid adding unverified temperatures or products.

1. 1. Hand wash only: Wash the bikini by hand rather than in a machine. The label does not specify a water temperature, so use your judgment and keep the process gentle.
2. 2. Skip the dryer entirely: Do not put the bikini in the dryer. Air-drying is the safe default when a garment is labeled do not dry in the dryer.
3. 3. Treat the elastic waist gently: The comfortable elastic waist and the stretch at the hips depend on the elastane. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, which can stress those areas.
4. 4. Store flat or folded: Once dry, keep the bikini folded rather than hanging it by the string, so the hip straps do not stretch out of shape.

Fit: what the string hip and full rear coverage mean

The Talco String Bikini combines a sexy string at the hips with full rear coverage. That is a specific combination: the front and back provide more coverage than a thong, while the sides are narrow strings rather than a wide band. If you are used to a standard bikini brief, expect the hip area to feel lighter and more open.

The elastic waist is described as comfortable, and the micro-modal blend stretches. There is no supplied size chart or measurement guidance, so the most reliable approach is to choose your usual size and use the variant list as your guide. The bikini is available in Black and White, in sizes S, M, and L. Black comes in S and L; White comes in S, M, and L. If you are between sizes, the absence of a published size chart means you should rely on the retailer's return policy or contact support before ordering.

String bikini sizing: what to check before you order

• Hip fit: The string sits at the hips, so the size should match your hip measurement rather than your waist. No hip measurements are supplied, so use your usual bikini size as the starting point.
• Rear coverage: Full rear coverage is a stated feature, so this is not a thong cut. If you want minimal back coverage, this is not that style.
• Color availability by size: Black is listed in S and L; White is listed in S, M, and L. If you want White in M, that variant exists; Black in M is not in the supplied variant list.

Where the care advice stops

The supplied record gives hand wash and no dryer, plus the fiber content. It does not specify water temperature, detergent type, drying position, or ironing instructions. Rather than invent those details, treat the label as the authority and follow any additional care symbols on the garment when it arrives. The same applies to swimwear-specific claims: the Talco String Bikini is described as breathable micro-modal, but the supplied evidence does not confirm chlorine resistance or saltwater performance. If you plan to wear it in a pool, rinse it by hand after wear and air-dry it, consistent with the hand-wash rule.
