Comparing Cheeky Bikinis & Brazilian Cut Bikinis
Cheeky bottoms and Brazilian cut bottoms are top picks for flattering your figure and minimizing tan lines. Ready to show some skin but unsure what the differences are between the two? Don’t worry if you’re unsure—many people wonder the same thing. Here’s the lowdown.
Brazilian Cut Bikini Bottoms
Brazilian cut bikini bottoms are the perfect balance between showing skin and keeping things classy. Our founder, Paula Hermanny, is proud to have introduced the Brazilian cut to the U.S., and it's quickly become one of the most popular styles. This cut offers a flattering fit, and is the ideal choice for those who want to tease, without revealing too much.
Are Brazilian cuts right for me? The Brazilian cut is universally flattering and can amp up the sexiness for any body type, giving your bottom a fuller, more eye-catching shape. It’s all about finding the right comfort level.
Cheeky Bikini Bottoms
For those looking to bare it all, cheeky bottoms offer minimal coverage while accentuating your curves. These bottoms are perfect for lounging in the sun, as they give you the least amount of tan lines for that sun-kissed glow.
Are Cheeky bottoms right for me? Cheeky bottoms are a great choice for highlighting your shape. For fuller figures, they help avoid the bulk of extra material, accentuating curves and lift. For smaller frames, they create an illusion of a fuller bottom. If you're planning to be active or on the move, cheeky bottoms might not be the best option—they’re designed for tanning and leisure. In that case, opt for Brazilian cut or full coverage bottoms.
Popular Bikini Bottom Styles
Tie Side Bottoms
Our Tie Side bikini bottoms are among the most popular styles of bikini bottoms because of their medium coverage and ability to be customized to give you a perfect fit. Because these bottoms, available in all cuts, have a tie on one or each side, you can adjust the fit whenever you need to so you can stay comfortable all day long.
If you’re planning on doing more intense activity, such as tubing or wakeboarding, you may want to opt for a different bikini bottom as the force of the water can cause the ties to come loose. Tie side bottoms look great on all body types and can be a great addition to your swimsuit arsenal.
Basic Bottoms
Our Basic Bottoms are available in both Brazilian and Full cuts, featuring standard-width side bands for a smooth, seamless fit. Designed for comfort and durability, these bottoms stay securely in place, making them perfect for active days where you need worry-free wear—no tugging or loosening.
