Product Insights
The Retro Flower Thong Reversible from Rip Curl offers a reversible design combining a smooth floral print with a solid pink ribbed side, where the pink side has 23% elastane for more stretch and a snugger fit, while the floral side provides a softer elastic hold; the double-layer construction ensures full opacity and compressive hold but slows drying, though it resists becoming waterlogged, and resists chlorine damage for over 200 hours and pilling; the curved waist and fabric stretch reduce gaping without elastic, requiring hand washing and avoiding oils or tinted sunscreen to prevent fading; sizing may need to go up for curvy hips, and the pink side is recommended for active days, floral for lounging, all at a sale price of $39.95 CAD, less than half of comparable brands.
Verified claims
- Appearance
- Reversible high-cut thong pairs an all-over retro floral print on one side with a solid pink ribbed reverse.
- Stretch
- The pink ribbed side contains 23% elastane versus the floral shell's 16%, giving it measurably more stretch and recovery.
- Value
- Sale price $39.95 CAD is less than half of VDM THE LABEL ($69.95 USD).
- Reversible fit
- Floral side out provides a softer, more elastic hold; ribbed side out a more relaxed fit.
- Reversible construction
- Reversible double-layer gives compressive hold, full opacity, and slower drying.
- Design
- Curved waist and fabric stretch reduce gaping without elastic adjustability.
- Durability
- The polyester-rich shell and lining are less likely to pill from pool edges or sand and commonly retain elasticity and shape for 200+ hours in chlorinated water.
- Care
- Hand wash cold with mild soap; avoid bleach, fabric softener, oils, tinted sunscreen, and fake tan; lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Drying time
- Double-layer construction prevents showing through but takes longer to dry than single-layer bikinis.
- Opacity
- Reversible double-layer design includes a continuous reverse panel spanning the entire front and back, so both faces are opaque with no see-through.
- Waistband
- Curved waist, double-layer compression, and reversible finish prevent gapping and digging without elastic.
- Sizing
- Rip Curl swimwear generally runs small; size up one from your usual size for this thong, especially if you have curvier hips; slim hips can stay true to size.
- Side recommendation
- Wearing the pink ribbed side out feels softer and more elastic through the hips, making it the active-day orientation.
- Materials
- The floral shell is 84% polyester and 16% elastane; the pink ribbed reverse is a lining of 66% polyester, 23% elastane, and 11% polyamide.

Building a matching floral two-piece swim set
Pair this reversible floral thong bottom with the matching bandeau top, sold separately, to put together a coordinated two-piece swim set in the same colorful floral print. The bottom is a high-cut, low-rise V-cut thong style with a narrow front panel and high-cut rear coverage, shown sitting on the hips to leave skin visible at the waist between top and bottom. Shoppers who prefer more back coverage may want to note the narrow centered back panel before adding the matching top.[1,2,3,4]
Product comparison

| Retro Flower Thong Reversible: Choose this if you want a reversible, high-cut thong bikini bottom with minimal rear coverage: one side shows a retro floral print with large pink and yellow flowers on blue, while the reverse is pink ribbed fabric. It has a V-shaped front rise and a slightly curved, elasticated waist, and it sits low on the hips as worn on the model, though that fit is shown on a specific body. A matching bandeau top is available but sold separately, and options are limited to SMALL through LARGE in the single Patterned Blue colorway.[1,3,4] | High-Cut Cheeky Panty: Choose this if you want a revealing high-cut cheeky swim bottom with a low-rise front, high-cut leg openings, narrow sides rising high on the hips, and a curved, narrow topstitched waistband. It is made of smooth matte swim fabric (85% polyamide, 15% spandex shell; 92% polyamide, 8% spandex lining) and comes in SMALL and MEDIUM, with the matching top sold separately. Note that the merchant listing names the colorway Patterned Red, while the product photos show a solid black with no visible print or pattern.[5,6,7,8] | Royal Blue And Yellow Flower Cheeky Bottom: Choose this if you want a low-rise, revealing cheeky bottom with moderate front coverage and an adjustable tie waist that ties into fabric bows at the hips.
