Women's bikini bottoms

The bikini bottom

Choosing the bikini bottom separately from the top allows you to get each piece in the right size: the bust and hips don't always match the same size. The bottom is chosen based on your hip measurement, fitted without digging in, and according to the desired coverage, from the high-cut brief that elongates the legs to the high-waisted brief that covers the tummy. You can then match it with a top from the same collection, or mix and match between plain and printed.

The rest of the swimsuits

Swimsuits also come in:

• Swimsuit tops.
• One-piece swimsuits.
• Two-piece swimsuits.
• Sarongs.

All swimsuits are gathered on the swimsuit page.

The cuts

The high-cut brief, like the Freya Nomad Nights, rides high on the hips and visually elongates the legs. The tie-side brief, like the Freya Fiji Falls, ties at the sides: it adjusts precisely and is easy to fit. The classic brief, like the Red Point Halda or the Banana Moon, offers normal coverage. The mid-rise brief, like the Fantasie Beach Waves or Barts Isla, and the high-waisted brief, like the Freya Koh Tao, cover more of the tummy. The skirted brief Freya adds a little skirt.

The brands and care

Freya and Fantasie design their bottoms to match their tops made for cup sizes, and Elomi focuses on plus sizes. Banana Moon, a French beach brand, offers a variety of colourful prints, and Barts, Triumph, Red Point, Regatta, Pieces and Cupshe complete the selection. After swimming, rinse the bottom in fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen, without wringing it out, and then lay it flat to dry in the shade to preserve elasticity and colours.

Good deals

Great deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent out within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a consistent order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

What bikini bottom is best for wide hips?

A high-cut brief at the sides elongates the leg and slims the hips, just like a high-waisted bottom with wide sides. Avoid very thin tie sides that dig into the hip.

What bikini bottom should I choose if I have a tummy?

A high-waisted brief covers and supports the tummy, especially in a shaping fabric. Pair it with a structured top to balance the silhouette and feel comfortable on the beach.

Why buy the top and bottom separately?

The bust and hips don't always match the same size: buying each piece separately allows for the right fit for each. Freya and Fantasie offer matching tops and bottoms in the same range.

Boyshort, thong or classic brief: what’s the difference?

The boyshort covers the upper thighs and stays in place for water sports; the thong exposes more of the backside for a more even tan. The classic brief offers intermediate coverage.

What to do with a bikini bottom that’s too big?

A bottom that’s too big can be taken in by a tailor, but the stretchy fabric can be tricky to sew. It’s better to choose the size according to your hip measurement from the start, or a style with adjustable ties.
