Product Insights
The Rip Curl High-Cut Cheeky Panty revives a 1980s athletic silhouette, popularized on social media, with a high leg line that elongates legs and a curved waist that cinches to create an hourglass illusion. Made from a silky, cool-to-touch 85% polyamide/15% spandex shell with a firm lining, it offers moderate cheeky coverage, over 95% shape retention, and high natural UV absorption. However, its moderate chlorine resistance means the fabric softness may degrade in pool use, making ocean or lake swimming ideal; proper care (rinse after sunscreen, hand wash cold, lay flat to dry) ensures 2–3 seasons of wear. The high-cut design differentiates it from other Rip Curl cheeky bottoms by pairing the high cut with a waist-defining curved waistline.
Verified claims
- Sizing
- Rip Curl sizing consistent; M reported to fit 5'7–5'9, 156–170 lbs.
- Shape retention
- 15% spandex shell recovers at least 95%; lining ensures stability.
- Cut effect
- High leg line elongates legs; curved waist cinches the waist.
- Fabric comfort
- Silky cool shell; low chlorine resistance may loosen fit in pool use.
- Coverage
- Cheeky cut shows moderate coverage — more than classic, less than Brazilian — with a high leg line that visually extends legs.
- Style
- High-cut cheeky silhouette is a revived 1980s athletic style, popularized on social media.
- Leg elongation
- The high-cut leg opening creates a vertical eye line that makes legs appear longer.
- Hourglass illusion
- High leg and curved waist create a lengthened, cinched hourglass silhouette.
- Lineup differentiation
- This Rip Curl cheeky bottom pairs a high-cut leg that sits above the hipbone with a curved waistline. The Classic Surf and Premium Surf models are low-rise cuts, and the curved waistline gives this panty a minimal, vacation-ready look rather than surf-specific detailing.
- Fabric feel
- Ultra-soft, silky, cool-to-touch hand feel with a firm lining for modesty.
- Fit
- Stretch recovery over 95% and polyamide abrasion resistance preserve fit and feel.
- Chlorine sensitivity
- Best for ocean or lake swimming; chlorine degrades softness over time.
- Washing
- Rinse after sunscreen; hand wash cold to preserve spandex.
- Drying
- Do not wring; lay flat to dry in shade to prevent stretching and UV damage.
- Care
- After about 300 hours of combined chlorine and sunlight exposure—roughly 35 days of summer—fabric strength can drop by up to 65%, so rinsing immediately after use is essential to preserve elasticity and fit.
- Lifespan
- Proper care ensures 2–3 seasons of wear and 95% shape retention.
- Chlorine resistance
- 85% polyamide/15% spandex (shell) & 92% polyamide/8% spandex (lining) have moderate chlorine resistance, ideal for ocean and lake wear.
- Wet opacity
- Inner lining prevents the fabric from becoming sheer when wet.
- Fabric resilience
- 85% polyamide shell resists pilling and retains shape with 95% recovery.
- UV protection
- Fabric's polyamide provides high natural UV absorption
- High-hip rise
- The high-cut leg opening sits above the hipbone, so this bottom is a high-on-hips fit rather than a low-rise cut.

Just the right amount of cheeky
Fits great (5ft8 160 lbs for reference). Feels nice, black on both sides. Just the right amount of cheeky, not too much or too little.
