How does the boyshort cut fit compared with a bikini bottom?

It sits lower on the hip and covers more of the seat than a standard bikini bottom. The 20% spandex gives it a snug, stretchy fit, so it stays in place when you swim or walk.

Is the belt removable?

The belted waist is part of the design rather than a separate accessory. Treat it as fixed when washing and drying.

Can I machine wash these bottoms?

No. The care instructions call for handwashing. Machine washing and tumble drying stress the spandex and shorten the life of the swim fabric.

It is a nylon and spandex blend with 20% spandex. That is a high stretch share for swimwear, which gives a close fit but needs gentle care to keep its shape.

Does the black color match Edikted's other black swim tops?

Solid black is the easiest color to pair, and it should sit well with plain black tops. Exact dye lots can vary between pieces, so check against a top you already own.

Who is this bottom not for?

Shoppers who want minimal coverage or a high-cut leg will find the boyshort cut too covered. Those who prefer machine-washable swimwear should look at other styles.
