Product Insights
The Simons gathered-back cheeky bikini bottom uses a fixed, sewn-in gathering that retains its ruched shape wet and dry, elongating the glutes and hiding asymmetry without adjustment. However, its construction prioritizes lounging and posing over active swimming—it cannot tighten and may become sheer without lining when wet. Made from 85% recycled nylon and spandex, the fabric offers better softness and chlorine resistance than recycled polyester while reducing water use, and the Simons-exclusive design coordinates with tops. At a $19.99 sale price, it undercuts similar styles, but requires careful cold hand-washing to preserve the ruched detail.
