Women's Swimwear Bottoms

They answer two different questions. Hipster is a rise: it sits on the hip with a wide side band and full coverage at the back. Cheeky and Brazilian describe back coverage instead. A cheeky cut narrows the back panel so the lower curve is left uncovered, and Brazilian narrows further toward a tapered strip while still covering more than a thong does. Because coverage and rise are separate, a cheeky or Brazilian back can come on a high-waisted, mid-rise or low-rise front, so read both parts of the description rather than the name alone.

Slightly, yes. Swim knit relaxes in water, so a bottom that feels perfect dry will usually feel loose after a swim. It should sit close without leaving deep marks or bunching, and you should be able to slide one finger under the leg elastic — if two go under easily, the leg is already too loose. If the side seams pull into the hip or strain lines appear across the front, size up. Most swim fabric is around 80 percent nylon to 20 percent elastane and stretches, but only so far.
