Bikini Bottoms
The right bikini bottom can completely change how a swimsuit looks and feels. At Splash Swimwear Darwin, our bikini bottoms range covers every cut, coverage level and waistband style — so you can find the perfect fit whether you are heading to Casuarina Beach or a Maldives resort.
Coverage ranges from the fuller coverage of high-waisted and hipster cuts through to mid-rise tie sides and cheeky briefs. Slide tri styles are a perennial favourite for their adjustable ties and flattering drape. Classic hipster briefs sit comfortably across the hips for an easy, everyday fit. High-waisted bikini bottoms continue to be one of the most popular styles for their stomach coverage and retro-influenced look.
One of the great advantages of buying bottoms separately is the ability to match your top and bottom sizing independently. If your top and bottom are different sizes — which is extremely common — mix and match is the smarter approach. Pair any top from our Bikini Tops collection with a bottom that fits your hips and you will never have to compromise again.
We also stock bikini bottoms with specific features for active use: chlorine resistant fabrics for regular pool use.
Choosing a cut
For less coverage and adjustable ties, try tie side bikini bottoms; for a cheekier back, Brazilian cuts. Hipster and mid-rise briefs suit everyday swimming, high-waisted pants sit over the tummy, and boyleg shapes add coverage through the hips and thighs. For swimming during your period, period swimwear has a built-in absorbent lining.
Looking after your swimwear
Chlorine, salt water, sunscreen and heat all wear swimwear down faster. Rinse it in cool fresh water as soon as you can after a swim, wash it gently by hand, and dry it flat in the shade rather than in the sun or a dryer. If you swim in a pool several times a week, a chlorine resistant style will keep its shape and colour longer.
