Brazilian Bikini Shop: Coverage Cuts, Brazilian Sizing and Mix-and-Match Separates

Brazilian Bikini Shop sells swimwear in the Brazilian style: bikinis, one-pieces, cover-ups and beachwear, much of it from Brazilian labels and designed with the smaller coverage and bold prints Brazil is known for.

The two things that decide whether a Brazilian Bikini Shop order works are coverage and size. Brazilian cuts show more than most swimwear sold in the US or UK, and Brazilian sizing runs smaller. Get both right and the order is a keeper.

Coverage: reading the cut names

Bottoms at Brazilian Bikini Shop are usually described by how much they cover at the back. The names vary by label, but the ladder is roughly the same.

Full or moderate coverage covers most of the seat and is closest to a standard bikini. Brazilian or cheeky coverage shows noticeably more. Thong and fio dental styles show the most, with a narrow back.

Scrunch or ruched bottoms gather fabric down the centre back seam to lift and shape. They are a Brazilian signature and read more revealing than their coverage label suggests.

If you are new to Brazilian swimwear, start one step up from what you think you want. Moderate or cheeky coverage from Brazilian Bikini Shop is still more daring than most high-street bottoms.

How Brazilian sizing runs

Brazilian labels often size smaller than US brands. Many shoppers find they need a size up from their usual, especially on bottoms. Always use the Brazilian Bikini Shop size chart for the specific brand and compare hip and bust measurements, not letter sizes.

Measure the fullest part of your hips and your bust with a soft tape, in swimwear or underwear. If you fall between sizes, size up on bottoms, which are harder to adjust, and use the ties or straps to fine-tune a top.

Side-tie bottoms and triangle tops forgive small sizing errors. Fixed-side bottoms and underwire or bandeau tops need an accurate fit.

Buying tops and bottoms separately

Many sets at Brazilian Bikini Shop are sold as separates, or offer a choice of top and bottom sizes. That is the best feature for anyone whose top and bottom sizes differ.

Check each listing: some are priced as a full set, some per piece. Make sure the matching piece is in the basket before paying, since adding just the top by accident is a common Brazilian Bikini Shop mistake.

Mixing styles is fine. A triangle top with a scrunch bottom in the same print lets you pick support and coverage independently.

Tops and support

Triangle tops are the classic Brazilian shape: light, adjustable and low on support. Bandeau tops avoid tan lines but need a close fit to stay put. Underwire and balconette styles give the most support for fuller busts.

Read whether a Brazilian Bikini Shop top has removable padding. It is useful for shape and makes lighter fabrics less sheer when wet.

Fabric and care

Brazilian swimwear is typically polyamide or polyester with elastane. Textured and ribbed fabrics hide wear; very thin, bright fabrics can turn sheer when wet, so choose lined pieces if in doubt.

Rinse swimwear in cool fresh water after the pool or sea, since chlorine, salt and sunscreen break down elastane. Hand wash, never tumble dry, and dry flat in the shade to keep prints bright.

Keep metal hardware away from rough pool edges, and do not wring the fabric.

Returns and delivery

Swimwear returns are stricter than clothing. Brazilian Bikini Shop, like most swim retailers, generally expects items to be unworn with the hygiene liner in place and tags attached. Try on over underwear and check the current return window and any sale exclusions before ordering.

Delivery time and cost depend on destination. If you need swimwear for a trip, order early enough to allow for an exchange.

Where the Brazilian Bikini Shop savings are

back25 is the strongest Brazilian Bikini Shop code here. Try it first, particularly on a full top-and-bottom set where 25% makes a real difference.

ENDAYS is the fallback at 20% if back25 is refused. Seasonal codes like these can be limited to certain dates or lines.

BBS10 is the shop's own general code. It is smaller, but a store-named code is often the most reliable to go through.

Brazilian Bikini Shop codes do not normally stack or apply to items already on sale. Compare the sale price with full price less the code, and use whichever is lower.

Common questions

Should I size up at Brazilian Bikini Shop?

Often, yes, especially on bottoms. Check the brand's size chart against your hip measurement.

What does cheeky coverage mean?

It shows more of the seat than a standard bikini but less than a thong.

Can I buy a different top and bottom size?

On most Brazilian Bikini Shop sets sold as separates, yes. Check each listing.

Can I return worn swimwear?

Generally no. Try it on over underwear and keep the hygiene liner in place.
