Bikini bottom with full bum coverage for petite teen

15 year old DD is in search of some bikini bottoms and I’m at a bit of a loss. They need to properly cover her bum but not be high waisted. Black for preference. I bought these in a size 6 and they’re too big. Im pretty sure it will need to come from the women’s section rather than the girls - she has a gorgeous figure with a tiny waist and a curvy bum.

I can’t find anything that quite hits the mark.

What about searching for bikini shorts? This seems to be sold out except in a 16 but it’s the sort of thing I mean.

Yes exactly that. I’m not sure why my link didn’t post before but those are pretty much the ones I bought. I need them for next week and struggling to find anything the right size.

Some of the supermarkets have separates, also maybe Debenhams online, or Matalan?

I cam sympathise though, my teen DD is a size 6 and needed new bikinis. Many shops seemed to think that if you're a 6, you want the skimpiest possible swimsuit!

DD wore children's bikinis until she was at least 19. She's a size 4-6. If you go in Primark, their age 11-12 is about a size 4-small 6.

@distinctpossibility i did see the next ones but they don’t go below a 6 and as the decathlon size 6 were too big, I think she needs a 4.

@Partridgewell I’ll take a look in Primark, thanks.

Maybe I need to reconsider children’s sizes. I’m going to end up buying tonnes and then having to return all but one pair, I can feel it!!

Not separates but something like this in age 11/12?
