Reviews Summary
Customers say these reversible swim bottoms provide good coverage while staying comfortable and flattering. Many appreciate the mid-rise cut and find the fit true to size, though some note they run slightly small or large depending on body type. The reversible feature is frequently praised, allowing for color versatility. Users report the material feels quality and stays in place during activities. Common feedback includes satisfaction with the coverage level without being unflattering. Some mention sizing considerations, with a few preferring to size up or down for optimal fit. Several customers note the waist height sits about two inches below the belly button, which works well for most but some prefer higher rise options.

    Pipa Reversible Bottom in Peri/Navy

    I went with a medium on this as I was unsure the small would have enough coverage for my personal liking. Fits well, color is great, very comfortable and good coverage yet still sporty. I could probably pull off a small but plan to keep the medium as it is super comfortable and flattering.

    Solid Bottoms

    Love these— I sized up a bit of better coverage but they are a great fit and feel overall.

    Awkward fit

    I wanted to love these, but I found the fit very awkward, the mid rise cut in at my waist in an unflattering way. Seems these would only look good on a stick thin model. I think these bottoms run a little snugger than other designs. I ended up returning them and ordering the Erins instead.

    Not my favorite

    I really wanted to love these because of all the great reviews, but the cut just didn’t look good on me. Seemed to run small at the waist, and the mid rise cut in on me in an unflattering way. I’m true-to-size small, usually a size 2 in jeans. I returned for the higher rise Erin bottom instead. I feel like for these to look good you would have to be super fit, otherwise you’ll get a muffin top.

    Hi Theresa! We're sorry to hear the Pipa bottom didn't work out for you! Fit is so personal and we totally understand that different cuts work better for different body types. It sounds like you made a great choice switching to the Erin bottom with the higher rise - we hope that one is much more comfortable for you! Thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback. 🩵
