How are bikini bottoms supposed to fit?
Bikini bottoms, like the rest of your swimwear, should have a snug fit on dry land, without being so tight that you're uncomfortable, have spillover, or leave red marks on your skin. Women's swimsuit bottom sizing can differ by style, so it’s key to pull out the tape measure and get your current measurements to find the best size bikini for you. Once you’ve got measurements in hand, check out the size chart on each bikini bottoms’ style page to match your measurements to sizes for the best fit. Still not sure what size swim bottom is for you? Grab a few bottoms, try them on and take them for a test drive—Title Nine’s 360°

Do bikini bottoms stretch?
Nothing’s worse than a saggy rear—that’s why high-quality swim fabric, like Title Nine’s
SurFlex, is key to swim bottoms that stay put. But even the best swimsuit bottoms stretch slightly when they get wet. Look for a firm, slightly compressive fit on dry land, so your bikinis bottom stays put when the waves get rough.
What do you wear under a bikini bottom?
Zilch, nada, nothing. Quality bikini bottoms are fully lined and made to give women the coverage they need, on dry land or in the water. In fact, wearing underwear (or anything else) under your bikini bottom can really put a damper on beach day. Why? Well, for one thing, women's underwear isn’t built to get wet. In addition to bagging and sagging, wet underwear takes a long time to dry. And soggy bottoms aren’t fun (or good for you).
What kind of activities require an athletic bikini bottom?
Whether you’re chasing waves or chasing toddlers, athletic bikini bottoms give women the confidence to move, stretch, surf, and dive, without worrying about your suit. When should you make sure you reach for an athletic bikini bottom?
-When you’re in and out of the water. Whether you’re doing cannonballs or riding waves, coming in and out of the water is prime time for float-away suit slip-ups. Make sure your bottoms stay put by grabbing a well-fitting athletic bikini bottom for women with stay-put features like adjustable drawstrings.
- When you’re participating in competitive sports. Maybe it goes without saying, but athletic bathing suit bottoms are a must for racing, beach volleyball tournaments, or surfing competitions, whatever the level.
- When you just can’t stay put. Not a poolside lounger? Neither are we. From pick-up frisbee games to double-dog-dare cliff dives, if you’re on the move, you need athletic bikini bottoms for women.
