The bottom is the half of a bikini people replace, and the nine on this page are built for a bottom that has to be bought without trying on: coverage and rise are printed on the card, and the hip is the only number the chart asks for. Six cuts are full coverage, the side-tie is moderate, the high-leg is cheeky and the Brazilian is Brazilian, and the name is a description rather than a mood. The side-cutout, a full-coverage bottom with a strap across the hip, has more ratings behind it than anything else Ocean Blues sells.

Rise is what pairs a bottom with a top. A low-rise brief or a side-tie goes under a triangle; a mid-rise drawstring goes under most things and its cord sets the fit you want that day; a high-waisted bottom goes under a tankini or a bandeau and covers the middle on its own. The plus-run high-waisted bottom is cut M+ to 2XL+. Every one of these is priced at the low end of the Ocean Blues catalogue, and a body between two letters takes the larger one, because a bottom that is snug dry is tighter wet.

Every colourway here is priced on its own; Ocean Blues pieces keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about Ocean Blues Bikini Bottoms

Nine cuts, sized by the hip

Which Ocean Blues bikini bottom stays put when you swim?

The full-coverage cuts with a firm waist: the side-cutout, the ruched side, the high-waisted bottoms and the low-rise brief. The drawstring mid-rise stays put once you tie it. The side-tie, the high-leg and the Brazilian are cut to show more and move more, and the card calls them moderate, cheeky and Brazilian for that reason.

Do you size an Ocean Blues bikini bottom by your hip or your waist?

By the hip, measured at the widest point with your feet together. The chart on the buying page lists the hip in inches for every bottom, and the waist matters only on the high-waisted cuts, where the band sits above the navel. Between two letters, take the larger.

Which Ocean Blues bikini bottom matches the tops on this site?

Any of them, by rise. The high-waisted bottoms pair with the bandeau and the tankini tops; the mid-rise drawstring and the ruched side with the halters; the low-rise brief and the side-tie with the triangles. Tops and bottoms share colourways across the Ocean Blues shelves, so a Navy Blue bottom finds a Navy Blue top on the tops shelf.
