CHEEKY CUT / FULL COVERAGE

Our Cheeky/Full-coverage swim bottoms prioritize comfort and modesty, offering the most fabric across the back and often sitting lower on the hips or at the natural waist. They provide a secure, stay-in-place fit that’s great for active beach days or simply feeling more covered. The shape smooths and supports the hips and rear while still giving a flattering, body-conscious silhouette. This classic cut is a timeless choice for those who want confident coverage without sacrificing style.

SEMI CHEEKY / MODERATE COVERAGE

Our Semi-Cheeky swim bottom strikes a balance between modest and daring, offering moderate back coverage that reveals just enough.

SEMI BRAZILIAN

Our Semi-Brazilian swim bottom offers a happy medium between Brazilian and Semi-Cheeky.

    My new favorite side-ties!

    These bottoms are everything I want in a summer bikini! The adjustable double-loop side ties make it so easy to customize the fit exactly how I like it whether I want them sitting a little higher on the hips or more relaxed. The semi-cheeky coverage is playful and flattering without feeling too revealing and the stretch fabric hugs beautifully while still being comfy. I love that they’re fully lined so the fabric feels smooth and secure with zero transparency ✨

    Beautiful 😍

    I love this bikini bottom 😍

    The color is beautiful 😍

    But I returned it because it's not cheeky enough for me

    But if you're more into coverage. You girls need to buy because it's a beauty
