JOLYNwomens Europe Bottom Bikini Bottoms

Purchased to go with a top to wear under water polo suits. The color pops. The bottoms stay in place. They are Jolyns - can't go wrong. Built for athletes but stylish at the same time!

According to the size chart I was an XS, which is what I usually buy for clothes and the size of my old jolyn bottoms in the same Europe style. I bought an XS, way too small. Sent back, purchased a S, still way too small. Just got them in a medium. They actually fit finally. But, on the side where the jolyn logo isn’t there, there is this bunching of fabric that looks like ripples or bubbling of the fabric. It’s not noticeable on the dark fabric, but on the mint green color it’s very noticeable and looks cheap/I’ll fitting. Hope this helps!

For those of you new here - Jolyn is not your normal swim suit it’s meant for high intensity activities where you want a suit that STAYS ON. So they run tight and small on purpose. I’m usually a M in bottoms, waist 29” hips 39” and j got a L and it still is snugggg until you break it in. These bottoms are low cut and cheeky. IYKYK. but they’re legit Jolyn!!!! Just like the website.

I have the same one in blue. This one feels much tighter. I was leaving for a trip and took with me to use without trying on so I’m stuck with it now. I’m not sure the large would have fit any better because the coverage was good, just tight around the waist. I am 140 ish, 5-6, athletic build and bought a medium. I would return if I could.

I am 5’1” and have a 27” waist and 36” hips. I sized up to a medium in these Euro bottoms but they still dug into my bum cheeks as there is very little stretch. I then tried a large and it fit perfectly—so this ran 2 sizes too small for me but looked great once I found my size. I think the size chart applies better for people with narrow/muscular hips.I also tried a medium in the Andy bottoms (also too tight) but the large was too baggy in the rear, perhaps because I am short in both stature and hip height.
