This bottom didn't work for me but I like that the ties are very skinny when compared to similar side tie bottoms. They lay flatter and don't case as much bulk under a cover up. I didn't keep these because they bunched a bit in the front and were too low in the back. I prefer the Smoothies bikini bottoms. For reference I'm 5'4", 120lbs and the small fit me best.

The only good thing about this bikini bottom is the color. I purchased the Midnight blue color which was vibrant and beautiful. Other than that, there is hardly any lining so it's revealing in the front. I stopped wearing it halfway through the season last year and haven't worn it since. It's too expensive for the poor quality. The style is very cute, although skimpy as others have said. So don't buy this if you're going for full coverage.

Fabulous! So cute, very low, very flattering!!! I got a medium, I wear a size 4, it was a bit big, I will get a small next time. But love them and kept them exactly as they are, I lay out, and kayak in this suit, it is perfect!

Runs way small. Sizes are not accurate. I had two larges shipped to me and 1 fit and the other was way small?

These bottoms have full coverage in the back and give the look of the side tie bikini with a little more fabric. The material and quality is awesome. I would say that the bottoms are very low cut. Knowing this, I ordered a size up. I am a size 4 and ordered a M and it is just big enough that I have to adjust it some throughout my beach trip to make sure I don't show any heiney cleavage. Other than that, it is a perfect bottom.

DON'T BUY WHITE! I actually preferred the cut and fit of the smoothies bikini bottom but BOTH are not fit for the public in white. I tested them out and they are super see-through when wet... you see EVERYTHING.

Nice bathing suit at a good price. Not much coverage, but probably not too different from a lot of other options out there. Great color selection, too.

I'm size 4/5-ish, I have the red, super hot color, rides a bit low. The quality has not stood up to what I thought a Body Glove should, but I've been know to be hard on clothes. The matching triangle top I got with it is in tatters. I'll wear the bottoms till they do the same.

I am 5'3", 120 lbs. These bottoms are great. Super flattering for curves. No tight lines digging into the rear. Tie sides celebrate curves instead of digging in. Not much coverage, but that is what is flattering!

I love these bottoms. Classic style. Soft on the sides and tight across the booty. The cut takes a little dip in the front and I have been told it is very sexy.

I wear a size 8-10 and am curvy. I was really hoping these would fit and they almost did (I ordered a large). They sat just a little too low for me (large hips) but I think would work well on a smaller frame. If they had an XL I would probably order it.

Love these bottoms and so does my husband. They are real sexy and you can adjust the size you need with the ties.

I was very pleased with this suit. It is cute and the quality of the fabric is good. I would say to order down a size. I normally order a medium in my bottoms from the higher end retailers but I ordered this one in a small and it fits great!

I got the medium (my usual size) in these but probably could have taken the small. Considering that swimwear generally runs small, my opinion is that these run pretty big. I know that is contrary to other reviews.

The charcoal color is simple and sophisticated. It is easily paired with black or navy. I think I tried every Body Glove bottom to match my Body Glove Smoothies Baby Love Triangle Top, and this was the winner. The ties are cute, but with an ample backside, you will need to be careful about the proportion of pulling it up or down in the back without showing too much skin. I am not too crazy about the heart charm hardware in the front, but it looks like a swift pull of a seam ripper can remove it without issue.

I'm very happy with this piece. I wear size 8-10 and have a small butt and narrow hips and the large fit me perfectly. I can see how these bottoms would not be enough coverage for a more voluptuous woman because they are cut very low. They don't sit on your hips, they sit below your hips.

I love Body Glove Suits, my go to for basics, stays on, very bottom flattering and I always get compliments. Some black suits can look cheap this is not the case.

These are small which is not a problem for little butts, but the see through factor just doesn't work at all no matter what your size.

I ordered this in XL and it was very very tiny; I think it is an XL, but for a junior. I am going to see if they have any larger bottoms, but as of now, I have to return it. I am a size 12-14 - this was not.

Really cute bottoms. Probably wouldn't work on someone with a larger bottom though, as it only barely covered mine (and I've got pancake syndrome)!

I love Zappos because of their no hassle service. I like the fact that you can view the body dimensions of several models. I just wish you could see the product you want on a model close to your size. I ended up buying two sizes and returning the one that didn't fit. It was incredibly easy to return and I was credited my money promptly. I will continue to shop at Zappos for a long time because of their great service and free shipping for purchases and returns.

I love, love, love these bottoms! I normally wear between a 0-2 in most bottoms, so I bought them in an XS, and they fit perfectly. The adjustable sides are a nice feature for both the design and functionality, and although the front is low cut, you get decent coverage in the back. I just can't wait for winter to end, so I can get cracking on my tan! I can't really comment on how they look once they are wet, because I haven't had an opportunity to take them for a dip, but based on others comments, they supposedly do not turn 'see through.' If you are in search of white bikini bottoms, you will find that the prices can be kind of steep. Not this pair and they are very reasonable! I also bought the matching Body Glove Smoothies Baby love top to go with it.

These are great, simple swim bottoms. I bought them to go with the Smoothies Solo Adjustable Underwire top, and they are great together. The bottoms look terrific, especially good if you are not sure of your size/their sizing; with the ties, you can adjust your fit as you need. I am currently a dress size 18-20 (makes me cry to type that!), and I bought the XL and they are fine, flattering, a little low in the back perhaps, but I personally love them. My only complaint is I do not really like most of the colors offered, but black works with anything so that is what I got.

Cute bottom! Sits low on the hips but not too low. The ties give it a flirty feel but don\'t dig in the way some string bikini bottoms do.
