CHEEKYS

Size & fit guide

The Cheeky Bikini is the classic, low-rise bikini that is easy to wear. Unique to us, the thin and seamless sides that minimise tan lines and sit smoothly against your skin. We have constructed our seams to be concealed. This ensures there is no stitching rubbing against your skin, which is essential for all-day comfort especially around the hips and booty. Our fabrics are treated with colour fastness, anti-yellowing and UV protection to prolong and enhance their lifecycle. Our extremely soft fabric will mould to your body for a second-skin look and feel.

We do premium, timeless swimwear.

YOU'VE CHOSEN MODEL A

Bralette (Small) and Cheekys (X-Small)

 

WHO IT SUITS: 

This is a classic cut with a moderate coverage. The concaved cut on the back gives your bottom a slight ‘lift’ - making it perkier and rounder.   

If you have a long torso or big glutes, be mindful that this is a hipster style and is likely to sit lower on you than designed. 

 

TRYING IT ON: 

Designed to sit low-rise at the front and sides. We do not recommend adjusting the height of the front, as it will give you more exposure than you may prefer. If you pull the sides high, the fabric may roll. 

You want the bikini to fit tightly around your hips on your first wear, a little dig-in is ideal. Note, the sides will feel a little thinner at the beginning. After you’ve worn it wet for the first few times and let them dry on your body, the fabric will loosen slightly, and the bottom will mould to your body – feeling just like a second-skin. Keep in mind, this doesn't mean they will provide more coverage.

If you have tan lines, picture yourself evenly tanned when trying the bikini on. This will help you feel less exposed and have a more accurate fitting experience.

If you find these extremely skimpy, it's likely not the right style rather than size, consider our High Cuts or Banded. These will provide much more coverage all over and will sit slightly higher.
