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!

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.

I have this bottom in the Isla print and liked the athletic fit (the rear has a bit less coverage than I would normally prefer but the compression stays in place pretty well), so I ordered a pool friendly style. While I didn't notice in the print version in the solid print it's apparently how big the fit on inner thigh is, which I can now see on the model when I look. It creates a roll in the leg, making the suit look weird. Sadly will have to stick with prints so it's not noticeable (as the fit is the same).

For size reference I'm normally a medium in Athleta swim bottoms, which I tried in this suit but it was to large so swapped for a small which fit much better. The compression is fitted with out being to tight.
