Brief and cheeky bikini bottoms cover the everyday middle ground between minimal thong styles and full-coverage boyshorts. Brief bottoms have a classic mid-coverage cut — a full back panel with a moderate leg cut. Cheeky bottoms reveal more of the lower buttock with a “V”-shaped back, sitting between a brief and a brazilian. Together they handle most beach and pool occasions for women who want enough coverage to feel comfortable without going to a sport-style boyshort.
This collection covers our women’s brief and cheeky bikini bottom range. Brief styles work as the classic bikini bottom — full back, mid-leg cut, the most versatile and beginner-friendly cut. Cheeky styles add a flirty finish with more lower-buttock exposure while still covering most of the seat. Both cuts use chlorine-resistant polyamide-elastane fabric with double lining for opacity and shape retention. They pair naturally with triangle tops, bandeau tops, and underwire tops.
What’s the difference between brief and cheeky bikini bottoms? Brief bottoms have full back coverage with a straight or slightly curved bottom edge — the classic everyday bikini cut. Cheeky bottoms reveal more of the lower buttock with a “V” or “U” shaped back edge that exposes some skin — between a brief and a brazilian. Brief is the most modest of the two; cheeky is the flirty middle ground.
Which cut is best for first-time bikini wear? Brief bikini bottoms — the full back panel and moderate leg cut feel the most familiar and secure for women new to bikinis. The cut also works under cover-ups and sarongs without showing too much, making it a comfortable choice for transitioning between beach and casual wear.
Are brief bikini bottoms flattering for all body types? Yes — the moderate coverage and standard rise work for most body shapes. For fuller hips, brief cuts give better proportion than higher-cut alternatives. For petite frames, brief cuts can read more covered without overwhelming the silhouette. The cut is one of the most universally flattering bikini bottom styles.
What size brief or cheeky bottom should I choose? Size by hip measurement, not waist. Measure the widest point of the hips and match to the size chart. If you sit between sizes, the brief cut tolerates being slightly larger (looser fit feels relaxed) while the cheeky cut runs better in the smaller size (looser cheeky cuts can show too much skin).
How do I care for brief and cheeky bikini bottoms? Rinse with cool fresh water immediately after every swim. Hand wash cold with mild detergent. Skip the washing machine on regular cycles, fabric softener, and the dryer. Lay flat to dry in the shade.
