To use this teddy, simply put it on like any other lingerie. The back neck hook opening makes it easy to put on and take off. For a more alluring look, you can adjust the lace ribbon ties on the sides as you like. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to hand wash it in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach as they can damage the delicate lace. Also, don't wring it out too hard; instead, gently squeeze out the excess water and let it air - dry. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent tearing of the lace.
