Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Ritz Compression Bottom is built for surf and active water play. It uses recycled Lux Compression fabric that supports and sculpts, a banded waistband that sits securely on the hips, and seamless construction that lowers chafing and friction when you’re paddling or popping up on a board. The medium front rise gives a secure fit while the less coverage silhouette keeps movement unrestricted, so you can kick, splash, and carve without feeling boxed in. This bottom suits swimmers, surfers, and busy beach moms who want a flattering, stay-put suit that looks polished and moves with them. If you prefer maximum coverage or plan to do high-impact competitive surfing, you might opt for a higher-rise or fuller-coverage style, but for everyday surf and swim the Ritz is a confident, versatile pick.
It fits true to size with a snug, mid-rise, slightly cheeky silhouette that smooths and sculpts. The recycled Lux Compression fabric provides firm support so the piece feels compressive rather than loose, the banded waistband keeps the bottom in place, and the seamless construction creates a smooth line under coverups and wetsuits. We offer sizes from XXS through XL, and because compression fabric sits close to the body, many customers who are between sizes choose the next size up for extra comfort, while those wanting a firmer sculpt may pick their usual size. This is ideal for women who want an elegant, streamlined look with reliable hold. If you prefer full coverage or a relaxed fit, consider a different cut.
The Ritz Compression Bottom pairs sustainability with performance. It’s made from recycled Lux Compression fabric, which repurposes existing materials rather than using new virgin fibers, and it is produced without toxic chemical finishes. Seamless construction reduces stress points that can cause early wear, while compression fabrics are engineered to retain shape and resist sagging better than non-compression knits. Those features together make this bottom both a cleaner choice and a longer-lasting one for regular beach and pool use. This is great for shoppers who care about elevated style and cleaner materials without sacrificing durability. For best longevity, rinse after exposure to chlorine or salt, avoid rough surfaces, and follow the garment care instructions.

    Unsure how much compression this truly is

    Super soft compression fabric. Very flattering with the high cut and higher waist. Other than the waistband though I don’t feel the compression. I.e. it rides up the cheeks. I haven’t worn it to swim yet so I can’t truly say if it’ll stay in place but as of right now I don’t think it would.

    Great fit…very cute on!

    Love these bottoms. Sexy without showing too much. Great alternative to side tie. Does not cut into waist and lays smooth. Need more colors and a restock in xs. Came back to purchase more and not much left in sold colors in my size.

    Terrible fit for me. I have a decently plump butt but the bottom was super baggy and looked like a diaper. It was weird because the waist was TTS. It seems like the band was an XS and the rest of the piece was made for a Medium or something. Love the pattern though so I ordered a different shape.

    Such cute bikini bottoms! I love the cut. A little sexy but not too revealing.

    I ordered an xs. My waist is 27 1/2 and my hip is 34. Excellent quality.
