Product Insights
The Ribbed High-Waist Cheeky Bikini Bottom from Simons offers full tummy coverage with a cheeky back, thanks to a waistband that sits at the natural waist and provides tummy control without rolling. The vertical ribbing lengthens the silhouette and gives the fabric a dense, resort-ready feel, while the high-waist cut prevents sagging when wet. Priced at $39 CAD (about a third of similar bottoms), it is available as a separate. However, the stretchy ribbed fabric reduces chafing but is designed for beach use, not daily pool swims, as the recycled nylon loses tensile strength after 12 dips.
- Sizing
Between sizes? Size down; fabric loosens to a custom fit after a few wet wears.

- Fit
High-waist cut prevents ribbed fabric from sagging when wet, acting as built-in tummy control.
Why this is supported
The high-waist cut of this bikini bottom provides the structural tension needed to prevent the ribbed fabric from sagging when wet. Industry research on textured swimwear explains that
Textured fabrics, particularly ribbed knits and waffle weaves, inherently possess more mechanical stretch due to their three-dimensional structure. When wet, the weight of the water can cause these fabrics to sag or lose their shape if not properly supported. Designing with these materials requires precise pattern making and the integration of high-quality, high-modulus lining fabrics to control the stretch and maintain the garment's integrity.
swimsuitcustom.comThe product's lined construction (85% reprocessed nylon, 15% elastane) mirrors this advice, and the high-waist design acts as built-in tummy control, maintaining shape during wear.
- Aesthetic
Vertical ribbing elongates the silhouette, and the denser knit gives a resort-ready handfeel.
Why this is supported
The vertical rib lines create a lengthening effect on the silhouette, which is enhanced by the high-rise cut. A swimwear design source notes that
The vertical lines naturally elongate the silhouette, and the inherent stretch provides exceptional comfort and adaptability to various body types.
swimsuitcustom.comAdditionally, the ribbed knit gives the fabric a denser, more substantial feel than smooth spandex, contributing to a resort-ready aesthetic. The same source states that
The appeal of textured swimwear lies in its ability to bridge the gap between active beachwear and sophisticated resort apparel. A ribbed one-piece or a seersucker bikini feels substantial, offering a ready-to-wear quality that smooth spandex often lacks.
swimsuitcustom.comThis combination makes the bottom easy to style with cover-ups and versatile for both active beach and resort wear.

underseabikini.comHowever, the recycled-nylon content is not intended for regular pool use. Independent lab testing shows
independent lab testing across 14 certified textile labs shows consistent tensile strength loss of 42–57% and surface pitting onset within 12 standardized chlorine exposure cycles
luyiss.com, so it is best suited for beach and saltwater wear:
It's a fantastic choice for resort wear, beach-focused collections, and saltwater swimmers.
ohzehntextiles.com. This aligns with the product's intended use case as a recreational swim bottom.
- Chlorine durability
Recycled nylon loses 42-57% tensile strength after 12 pool swims; best for beach, not daily laps.
Why this is supported
The recycled nylon's lower crystallinity reduces its resistance to chlorine:
Unlike virgin nylon 6,6, recycled variants show lower crystallinity (measured at 31–39% vs. 48–52%)
luyiss.com. Independent lab testing shows tensile strength loss of 42–57% after 12 standardized chlorine exposure cycles:
Yet independent lab testing across 14 certified textile labs shows consistent tensile strength loss of 42–57% and surface pitting onset within 12 standardized chlorine exposure cycles (5 ppm free chlorine, 28°C, 45 min/session).
luyiss.com. The brand describes the fabric as
The recycled nylon blend is chlorine-resistant
What care instructions are recommended? Is it chlorine-resistant and machine-washable?, but that claim is relative, not absolute. Even with optimal care—machine wash cold, avoid bleach—chemical degradation from pool chlorine is unavoidable. Consequently, this bottom is best suited for beach and saltwater rather than regular lap swimming.
