Product Insights
Simons' striped ruffle high-cut cheeky bottom, an exclusive with adjustable side ruching that ranges coverage from very revealing to moderate, offers eco-conscious value: a 80% reprocessed polyamide lining that matches virgin durability and reduces CO2 by 26% and energy by 60%, at $19.99—undercutting comparable recycled-nylon bottoms. The main tradeoff: the cheeky cut provides very minimal back coverage, though the ruching and matching tops provide styling options.

Deep Research
Caring for the ruffle texture to prevent damage
- Machine washing, even on a gentle cycle, agitates and abrades the textured surface, flattening the raised stripes and potentially snagging the fabric; hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent preserves the dimensional quality and prevents the ruching from stretching out unevenly.
- Fabric softeners leave a coating that degrades spandex recovery, and bleach breaks down both color and fiber strength in polyamide-elastane blends, so using a mild detergent without additives is essential to maintain the ultra-stretch feel and the vibrancy of the brown or red color variant.
- Wringing or tumble-drying the bottom will permanently distort the high-cut leg opening and ruin the side ruching; rolling the suit in a towel and then laying it flat in the shade allows the textured fabric to dry without losing its shape or elasticity.
- Folding the bottom for long periods can imprint creases that flatten the texture at the fold lines, while hanging by the straps elongates the high-cut silhouette; storing it laid flat in a drawer or breathable bag in a cool, dark place maintains the ruffled integrity and prevents color fading.
- The textured knit is vulnerable to pilling and snagging on concrete, wooden decking, and rough pool edges, so sitting on a towel prevents the surface from catching and abrading, keeping the stripe pattern uniform and the fabric looking new across multiple wears.
Value compared to similar ruffle bikini bottoms
- As a Simons exclusive, this bottom is unavailable through other retailers, giving it a degree of uniqueness compared to widely distributed mass-market alternatives like Target's Wild Fable, which can be found at any Target store or on their website.
- At CAD 19.99 (approx. USD 14.70) on sale, this bottom undercuts the clearance price of Target's comparable Wild Fable side-tie bottom (USD 15.30, regularly USD 18), while its original CAD 29 (approx. USD 21) reflects a slightly higher initial positioning.
- Separately available matching tops — such as the Textured Stripe Balconette and Textured Striped Bralette Top in the same brown striped fabric — allow a fully coordinated ensemble without the guesswork of mixing separates from different brands, a convenience that budget competitors like Wild Fable rarely offer in an explicit, linked collection.
- The lining's composition — 80% reprocessed polyamide and 20% spandex — incorporates recycled nylon rather than the more common recycled polyester used in competitor linings, signaling a move toward higher-end sustainable materials typically found in pricier eco-conscious swimwear.
- The 80% reprocessed polyamide lining puts this bottom in the company of higher-end eco-luxury swimwear like Vitamin A's Terra bottom (96% recycled nylon, USD 105 full price), delivering a similar sustainability-oriented material story at a fast-fashion price when on sale.
- Unlike pull-on alternatives that rely solely on fabric stretch, this bottom uses side-tie strings and ruching on the sides for an adjustable high-cut fit, allowing the wearer to dial in the rise and tension to suit their body.
How the side ruching adjusts for a personalized fit
- The ruched sides are designed to be adjustable, so tightening the gathering raises the leg cut and amps up cheeky exposure, while loosening it settles into a somewhat more moderate profile — the same bottom can accommodate different coverage preferences without changing sizes.
- The adjustable ruched design is a Simons exclusive, meaning this exact construction cannot be found at other retailers — for a swim bottom with this kind of personalized fit, Simons is the only source.
Durability of the recycled fabric in water and chlorine
- At 20% spandex, the lining sits at the upper end of elastane blends typically found in swimwear (most fall between 10–18%), so the ultra-stretch fabric resists stretching out and maintains its shape even when the cheeky cut is pulled taut during active wear.
- Using recycled rather than virgin nylon cuts CO2 emissions by roughly 26% and can require up to 60% less energy during production, so the lining has a measurably smaller environmental footprint while still delivering the stretch and resilience expected from a performance swim bottom.
- The polyamide base brings inherent abrasion resistance and good elastic recovery—qualities that help the recycled lining withstand friction against skin and swimwear without pilling or losing its form.

Q&A
3 answered- How does the sizing run compared to typical Simons swimwear bottoms? Does the ultra-stretch fabric allow for some flexibility in size choice?
- The ultra-stretch textured fabric [1] offers significant flexibility, so you can generally choose your usual Simons size even with the cheeky cut. If between sizes, sizing down may still work due to the stretch, but reviews on similar styles suggest sticking with your regular size for comfort.
- Is the 'cheeky' cut more moderate or very revealing? How much coverage does the back provide?
- This is a very revealing cheeky cut — described as a 'cheeky bottom' with a 'revealing cheeky cut' [1][2]. The high-cut style and side ruching mean significant back exposure, so it offers minimal coverage.
- What specific matching tops are available? Are there any recommended styles or colors that pair with this bottom?
- Matching tops are sold separately but not specifically listed. However, Simons offers a 'Textured Stripe Balconette' and 'Textured Striped Bralette Top' in coordinating striped patterns and colors (brown, multicolour, blue) that would pair well. Look for items from the same 'Striped Ruffle' or 'Textured Stripe' collection.
