Product Insights
A Simons exclusive-line gingham thong bikini bottom at 39 CAD — eight variants (Patterned Brown or Red, X-SMALL to LARGE), all in stock, all price-parity at 39 CAD with no size upcharge and on sale at 29.95 — that stages its central tension in the print itself: red gingham carries a 1950s–60s Bardot-and-Monroe swimwear lineage (a print Jantzen revived in 1996) and wholesome Americana apron associations, here inverted into retro irony by a high-cut true thong with a minimal narrow rear panel rather than a cheeky cut. Its defining material choice is a raised textured weave that adds dimensional depth separate from the gingham check pattern, and that texture is the whole tradeoff: it snags more readily than flat swim nylon on concrete, pool edges and sand, and traps water so it dries slower than smooth swim fabric or flat tricot. Offset against that, a curved waistband cut on a gentle arc contours the hip and eliminates gaping for fit security, and the lining prevents sagging when wet to retain shape. Sourcing is positioned on compliance: Simons exclusive-line suppliers must meet an AFIRM-aligned restricted-substances policy verified by annual third-party lab testing. The clear point of view is a heritage print knowingly re-cut as minimal swimwear; the core promise is dimensional gingham texture with secure, shape-holding fit at one flat price across every size and colorway; the main tradeoff is a fabric that asks for care around rough surfaces and patience to dry.
Verified claims
- Print heritage
- Red gingham traces to 1950s-60s Bardot-and-Monroe swimwear, a print Jantzen revived in 1996.
- Retro irony
- Gingham's wholesome 1950s apron-print heritage is cut as a high-cut thong, a deliberate retro-irony inversion.
- Texture
- Raised textured weave adds depth to the gingham check but snags on rough surfaces and dries slower than flat fabric.
- Coverage
- A true thong with a minimal narrow rear panel, not a cheeky cut.
- Durability
- The raised texture snags more easily than flat swim nylon on concrete and sand.
- Waistband fit
- The slightly curved waistband sits low on the hips and follows the hip line; the fabric's stretch is what keeps it secure without a closure.
- Dry time
- The textured weave traps water and dries slower than flat-tricot swim fabric.
- Shape retention
- Lining prevents sagging when wet, retaining shape.
- Variants
- Eight combinations — Patterned Brown or Red, X-SMALL to LARGE — all in stock and listed at the same 39 CAD.
- Print styling
- Gingham is a decades-old swimwear print — a 1950s retro and classic reference, not a generic summer check. Here it is styled as playful and flirty rather than sweet or juvenile.
- Material
- Simons exclusive-line suppliers must meet an AFIRM-aligned restricted-substances policy, with annual lab testing.
- Price parity
- All eight variants — Patterned Brown and Patterned Red in sizes X-SMALL through LARGE — are in stock and share the same 39 CAD list price, on sale at 29.95, with no size upcharge.
- Material composition
- The outer shell is a stretch textured weave of 46% nylon, 44% polyester, and 10% elastane, backed by a lining of 85% reprocessed nylon and 15% spandex.
- Fit / sizing
- The bottom fits true to size for most shoppers because the weave carries 10% elastane for real give; if you are between sizes, sizing up gives more comfortable room in the close-fitting high-cut thong.
- Leg-lengthening fit
- The high-cut leg rises up the hip and the slightly curved waist sits high on the hip, visually elongating the leg line for a longer, leaner silhouette.
- Comfort
- The stretch textured weave is backed by a smooth 85% reprocessed nylon and 15% spandex lining that sits softly against the skin, so the textured outer does not feel stiff or dig in.

| Gingham Ruffle-Trim Thong Bikini Bottom: Choose this if you want a minimal-coverage thong bikini bottom: it is a low-rise, high-cut style with a narrow V front, narrow sides, and a narrow center back panel, trimmed with elasticized scalloped ruffles along the waistband and leg openings. It comes in a small red-and-white gingham check on a stretch textured weave, lined in 85% reprocessed nylon and 15% spandex, in sizes X-SMALL to LARGE. Note the matching top is sold separately, and coverage as worn (exposing the lower back and upper buttocks on the pictured model) can vary with body shape.[1,2,3,4] | High-Cut String Thong: Choose this if you want a high-cut thong bottom with a narrow front panel, V-shaped rear coverage, and adjustable side strings you tie into bows at the hips. This Simons-exclusive mini style is described as suited to tanning sessions, made from a recycled nylon blend (82% reprocessed nylon, 18% spandex with a matching nylon-spandex lining), and comes in sizes X-Small to Large in five colorways. Note that it is a bottom only, so you would pair it with a separately sold matching top or another top of your choice.[5,6,7,8] | Inner-Seam Thong: Choose this if you want a minimal-coverage, high-cut thong swim bottom with a low-rise V-front and narrow waistband that sits on the hips. It is made of a recycled nylon blend (82% reprocessed nylon, 18% spandex) with a matching nylon-spandex lining, and this variant features a pink-and-white gingham print with small red cherry or strawberry motifs, sized X-Small through Large. Note that the matching top is sold separately, and the rear panel exposes the lower buttocks on the photographed model, so coverage is very limited.[9,10,11] |
