What Other Merbabes are Saying
Leah:This is such a great idea! I'm never sure what size I'm going to be in a new brand and I had never really tried cheeky vs. brazilian so I had fun with it! The samples they sent were clean and had liners, and the return label was included, so it was really the easiest process!
FAVE BOTTOM: Calvin
Adrianna: I do this every time a new bottom comes out! The first time is a great way to gauge your size but now I can use it decide on which cut looks best without spending more than a couple bucks!
FAVE BOTTOM: Tony Brazilian
Kimberly: Love that you can pick multiple sizes of the same bottom, because I vary from brand to brand, and let's be real year to year! Ordering and returning is super easy, definitely recommend if you're not sure what to purchase!
