Reviews Summary
Customers say these swim bottoms are comfortable and flattering with excellent coverage that stays secure during water activities. The fit is praised for balancing modest coverage without appearing overly high-waisted or frumpy. Many reviews mention the soft, quality fabric and compression support that feels snug without pinching. Common feedback addresses sizing inconsistency—some note the bottoms run small or stretch when wet, while others find them true to size. Most customers appreciate the stylish designs and vibrant colors. A few mention concerns about certain color options being see-through or prone to fading, and some note the fit varies depending on body type and torso length.

    My favorite

    Buttery soft compression. My favorite swim bottoms. Own them in several colors and they don’t disappoint. Well made and flattering for my curves.

    Very Nice Swim Bottoms

    I've tried a number of swim bottoms and I was very happy with the Pipa style. The sides are a nice height, good coverage and they stayed on while lap swimming. I originally got the XS but after reading some reviews exchanged them for the XXS and I'm glad I did. I look forward to buying other colors in this style!

    Beautiful, but gets larger when wet

    It’s a beautiful color swim suit , that provides nice coverage. My only issue is that I follow the size chart to the “T” and purchased size M. Problem was that when I went to the water the bottoms got very loose and I can’t use them when wet. Unfortunately I can’t exchange at this point. Size down if you want to swim with them.
