Swimwear that covers the bum cheeks!

This is something that’s bugged me for years but this year it seems particularly bad. Why is the vast majority of women’s swimwear cut so that half the bum cheek is hanging out the back of it. It looks horrible (on most of us) and feels uncomfortable. This year I’m also trying to help my 16yo DD choose some swimwear and she also hates the cut of the bottoms. So far we’ve found ‘tug less’ ones by Lands End for one pieces but can can anyone recommend a bikini brand?

I agree with you - and even the full briefs seem to be cut diagonally to reveal bum cheeks. In the end I gave up and went for a a tankini with small shorts shorts that looks 1950s retro.

This. I get mine from Regatta, which are good prices too, especially in the sale.
