These bottoms are some of my favorites. I love the coverage they provide (the higher cut is awesome if you have a little bit of a tummy but still want to wear a bikini) while still remaining cheeky and cute. The side ties make for easy adjustability, which adds to the comfort factor, too.

If you have any questions on Carve Designs gear, feel free to shoot me an email at zbougri@backcountry.com! I'm one of the Carve ambassadors here, and I'm always happy to talk about anything from their line (as well as listen and pass along any feedback you may have!).

These bottoms are so adjustable! The side tabs make these bottoms so comfortable without giving you any muffin top or leaving red marks on your hips! I am pretty petite and shaped like a board and these give me the illusion of hips. I typically don't go with a chunky band but it is actually something I will be looking into more. The bottom of your butt hangs out a little bit but I like it : )

The only thing I recommend is a good shave or wax since the bikini area is a bit small : )
