A boyshorts bikini bottom is a women’s swimwear cut with a longer leg that extends slightly onto the upper thigh — modeled on the silhouette of men’s boxer briefs but shaped for the female body. Boyshorts give the most back and hip coverage of any common bikini bottom cut, making them the go-to choice for active swimming, water sport, and women who prefer fuller coverage at the beach.
This collection covers our women’s boyshorts bikini bottom range. The longer leg cut prevents chafing during sport and stays put through swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and water aerobics. The fabric is chlorine-resistant polyamide-elastane with double lining for opacity and shape retention. Boyshorts pair naturally with bandeau tops, halter tops, and underwire tops for a balanced, sport-friendly bikini set.
Are boyshorts bikini bottoms good for sport? Yes — boyshorts are the most secure bikini bottom cut for active water sport. The longer leg stays put during high-movement activity (surfing, wakeboarding, snorkeling), the fuller back coverage prevents accidental exposure, and the wider hip strap distributes pressure for all-day comfort. For competitive swimming, dedicated athletic swimsuits give even more secure fit.
What’s the difference between boyshorts and a brief bikini bottom? Briefs have a higher leg cut that exposes more of the thigh — closer to a traditional bikini. Boyshorts have a longer, lower leg that extends onto the upper thigh, with a more squared-off shape at the bottom edge. Boyshorts give more coverage at the leg crease and hip; briefs give more coverage at the back panel.
Are boyshorts flattering for fuller hips? Yes — boyshorts work well for pear-shaped and fuller-hipped figures because the longer leg balances the hip width and creates a more proportional silhouette. The squared-off leg cut also prevents the “cutting in” line that high-cut briefs can create at the hip.
What size boyshort should I choose? Size by hip measurement (the widest part of the seat). Boyshorts run true to size — the leg should sit flat at the thigh without riding up during movement. If you sit between sizes, size up; too-tight boyshorts dig into the leg and ride up at the back.
How do I care for boyshorts bikini bottoms? Rinse with cool fresh water immediately after every swim. Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Skip the washing machine, fabric softener, and the dryer. Lay flat to dry in the shade. For boyshorts worn in sport (more frequent wet-and-dry cycles), rinse especially carefully to extend the lifespan.
