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.
Verified claims
- Wet shape retention
- Gathered back keeps its ruched definition after swimming.
- Shape consistency
- Gathered back shape remains consistent during wear without adjustment.
- Lift and symmetry
- Gathered back elongates the glutes and hides minor asymmetry.
- Lounging and posing
- Sewn-in gathering maintains silhouette for photos and comfort for lounging.
- Wet performance
- The nylon-spandex blend recovers its shape when wet, but the unlined recycled nylon can thin and lose opacity if chlorine, salt, or sunscreen are not rinsed out promptly.
- Active swimming limitation
- The fixed gathered back cannot be tightened, making this bottom better suited to lounging, resort wear, and light movement than to lap swimming or water sports.
- Care
- Cold rinse, hand wash, and flat drying preserve the ruched detail and fabric.
- Material
- Recycled nylon blend (85% reprocessed nylon, 15% spandex) outperforms recycled polyester in softness and chlorine resistance, with 90% less water use.
- Construction
- Fixed gathered back never needs adjusting during wear.
- Exclusive design
- Simons exclusive in-house design coordinates with the brand's swim tops.
- Value
- $19.99 sale undercuts gathered bottoms like Kulani at $37.50.
- Gathering
- Inner seams provide a fixed, shape-retaining gathered back with a smooth, chafe-free finish.
- Exclusivity
- Simons exclusive brings three curated colorways for easy mix-and-match.
- Built-in lining
- This bikini bottom does not have a built-in lining; the construction uses inner seams only.
- Sustainability
- The recycled nylon in this bottom uses 90% less water and 80% less CO2 than virgin nylon and diverts waste such as fishing nets from the ocean.

| Gathered-Back Cheeky Bikini Bottom: Choose this if you want a cheeky-cut bikini bottom with a gathered center-back seam that creates a ruched effect at the rear and high-cut leg openings. It is a Simons exclusive made of a recycled nylon blend (82% reprocessed nylon, 18% spandex) with a matching spandex-blend lining, and comes in black, pink, and patterned ecru across sizes X-Small to Large. Note that the matching top is sold separately, so plan to pair it with a top you own or buy it in addition.[1,2,3,4] | Ruffle Texture High-Cut Cheeky Bottom: Choose this if you want a high-rise, high-cut cheeky bottom with side ruching, an ultra-stretch ruffle-textured knit, and edges finished with a slightly scalloped trim rather than a smooth hem. Its fabric blends 70% recycled-plastic polyester with 25% polyester and 5% spandex, and the rear coverage narrows to expose the lower cheek. Note that the matching top is sold separately, so you would need to buy it on its own to complete the set.[5,6,7] | Bow And Scallop-Trim Cheeky Bikini Bottom: Choose this if you want a high-cut, cheeky bikini bottom with delicate scalloped trim and a small center bow, made from a recycled nylon blend (85% reprocessed polyamide, 15% elastane) with a matching polyamide-elastane lining. Reviewers describe a true-to-size, comfortable fit suited to long beach days, and it comes in X-Small to X-Large across four colorways (availability varies by color). Note that the lace and scallop trim can read as underwear in family-friendly or conservative swim settings, and the matching top is sold separately.[8,9] |
