Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Sanitas Reversible Bottom is a great choice for surfing and active water sports because it combines performance-minded construction with a secure, comfortable fit. It’s made from recycled swim fabric with four-way stretch so you can paddle and kick without fighting your suit, and the seamless construction reduces chafing and irritation when you’re in and out of the water. The low-rise, slightly cheeky cut stays put during movement while giving you that effortless, polished look. This benefits active swimmers, weekend surfers, and busy moms who want a stylish bottom that actually performs. Note: because it provides less coverage by design, it may not be the best pick if you need maximum coverage or targeted tummy support.
The reversible construction is designed to be durable when cared for properly. The Sanitas uses recycled swim fabric and seamless construction with four-way stretch, which helps the fabric retain shape and resist pilling better than woven blends. To maximize longevity, rinse in fresh water after salt or chlorine exposure, hand wash or machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, use mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and line dry out of direct sunlight. These steps protect the reversible print and elastic. This guidance is ideal for frequent swimmers, travelers who pack swimwear often, and anyone building a capsule swim collection. A fair heads up: heavy chlorine and rough surfaces can accelerate fading over time.
Yes, the Sanitas generally runs true to size, and it offers slightly cheeky, low-rise coverage. The four-way stretch fabric adapts to your shape so the fit feels snug but flexible, while the seamless construction creates a smooth silhouette rather than bulky seams under a cover up. Because it is designed for less coverage, it flatters those who want a playful, leg-higher cut rather than full-coverage bottoms. This style suits shoppers seeking a stylish, elevated bikini bottom that works for beach days, pool parties, and travel. If you prefer more coverage or extra tummy support, consider sizing up or trying one of our higher-rise Carve bottoms for a roomier fit.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these reversible bikini bottoms offer perfect fit and comfortable coverage that stays in place during active water sports like surfing, body surfing, and volleyball. The material is soft, high-quality, and maintains its shape when wet. Many appreciate the cheeky but modest coverage that's flattering without being too revealing. The reversible feature provides versatility for mixing with different tops. Common feedback includes praise for the comfortable waistband that doesn't dig in or pinch. Some mention sizing runs small and recommend ordering up, while others note the bottoms are true to size. A few customers find the front sits lower than expected or wish for more coverage.

    So soft

    The quality is unbelievable and worth the price if you are looking for a suit to last you a while. The fabric is so soft. The fit is great.

    Terrible fit

    Terrible fit and now I have to pay to return it? You design a terrible product and I have to pay to send it back to you. Great business model.

    A little low cut in front

    I have lots of carve suits that I mix and match. I returned this one because it was lower cut in front than I want these days. Cute colors but not my fav.
