Are these bikini bottoms better for surfing than fashion bikinis?

Can I wear these bottoms for paddleboarding or swimming laps?

Will the fabric stretch out over time?
No, we use high-quality elastic fibers that help the bottoms keep their shape with regular wear. Have full confidence, our Bikinis keep their color and shape for years.

Are Watermen bikini bottoms chlorine- and saltwater-safe?
Yes, the fabrics are chosen to hold up in both saltwater and chlorine without breaking down quickly. Shop our chlorine-proof styles for best results, and don’t forget to rinse with freshwater after each use for best results.

When should I choose bikini bottoms over a one-piece?
Both options provide coverage, though the one-piece maximizes coverage. Choose bikini bottoms when you need as little restriction as possible, want less tan lines, or want less coverage in general. (And easier bathroom breaks during long beach days!)
