prAna  Summer Wave High-Rise Swimsuit Bottoms - Women's

So cute and well-made. The prints are beautiful. They're comfortable and they don't fall down. I'd call them medium-full coverage - not so full that they look frumpy. The only thing I would change is the tight seam that runs between about an inch or two down from the waist band. I recently lost some weight and went from ~size 16 to a 10/12 and I was hoping for a tiny bit of tummy control (I bought size L) but instead that seam cut in just enough that it makes me look like I have a double muffin-top. If you have loose skin I'd maybe recommend sizing a tiny bit up so that seam doesn't look weird.

Perfect! Finally a high rise swim bottoms that fit my body type. Other styles I had to size up to a medium so that the waistband wouldn’t give me muffin top, but then the rear side was too loose. If you have more of a straight body type, these will work great for you.

Beautiful patterns and fabric. Unfortunately the horizontal seam extending two inches below belly button accentuates my ( fairly small) pooch. NOT what I was looking for. If only the seam could go away.

I bought these because I love high-waisted swimsuits and full rear coverage, and they deliver on both. No cheeky creep, no constant adjusting — the coverage is great and the cut still looks cute without being frumpy. I got them in Black Seaweed, a beautiful marine blue and navy print that pairs well with a black top. Sizing: Ignore the size chart — it’s misleading and the model specs on the page directly contradict it. The chart put me at a small (27-28” waist), but seeing that the 5’11” model with a 24” waist was wearing a small, I sized up. I’m 5’7”, 135 lbs with a 28” waist and the medium fit perfectly — no bagginess, no muffin top. The quality also feels genuinely premium compared to budget brands. The flaw: The waistband seam hits right at the belly’s natural curve, and that area is actually looser than the rest of the suit. So instead of compressing, it frames and highlights — the opposite of what high-waisted is supposed to do. My other high-waisted suits maintain consistent compression throughout and don’t have this problem. If this one did the same, it would be my ideal swimsuit. Frustratingly close.

Kind of a weird fit. I kept it because I like the top but I plan to tie ribbons around the outer hip part of the bottoms to make them fit better.

These bottoms are so good. They’re the perfect height and the pattern is super fun!

Great, full coverage bottoms. They stay in place well.
