What the AI looks for in Women's Swimwear Bottoms
- Coverage level
- Check the stated coverage (cheeky, moderate or full) and the rise, not just the size. Coverage varies widely between brands at the same size label.
- Side construction
- Choose fixed sides for activity. Ties are adjustable but can loosen. Tie sides slip in surf and during swimming.
- Leg and waist edges
- Choose covered or folded elastic edges that lie flat. Bare elastic edges dig in and wear out quickly.
- Lining
- The front and seat should be fully lined. Lining prevents sheerness when wet and helps the bottom hold its shape.
Brands that matter
- Seafolly: Wide range of coverage styles, well lined.
- Body Glove: Durable solid-color separates.
- Speedo: Chlorine-resistant sport bottoms.
- Roxy: Surf-ready fuller cuts.
What to avoid
- Unlined bottoms in pale colors.
- String sides for water sports.
- Buying the size that matches your top when your hip size differs.
