I Love These Bottoms!
I love the notsostring ... Great coverage without being too "mom ish", very flattering and cute. I ordered a small and it was true to size (I am a size 2 but usually order up for my swimsuit bottoms). The fabric is very nice and the color is beautiful (wave blue). I wear the bottoms with the sherrindipity halter tankini in wave blue. Love it! I would love to get other colors. I love this suit!

Possibly my favorite fitting suit ...
I'm 5'8", athletic build, with what I like to call a "volleyball" butt. I despise suit bottoms that don't provide coverage, but I also don't like when they look frumpy and there is too much material, making the ... look more like my grandma's underwear. I have a really hard time finding suits anywhere. I usually try on the whole store before finding something that I think I can live with, but it's never the pattern that I ultimately want. I started browsing Athleta's swimsuit selection and came upon these suit bottoms. I read the reviews for this product and they were phenominal, so I thought why not? I ordered the large in the Notsostring ... medium Scunch Bikini Top. Both pieces fit perfect and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The bottoms provide full coverage on the back, but they still look like a bikini ... which is what I like. Good job Athleta!

Hot & sexy!
This is the hottest sexiest swimsuit ... I've ever had with out feeling like I'm showing too much and my butt doesn't fall out! Love it! Perfect fit.

Love these bottoms!
I love everything about these swim ... Everyone knows it's very difficult to find just the right fit when swimsuit shopping, so I was amazed to receive these in the mail, try them on and find that they are perfect. I was worried that they might be too skimpy, but the cut is exactly right - just enough coverage and very flattering. I have a small figure, in between size 4 & 6, and the size small was a perfect fit. The fabric is high quality and just the right thickness, and I love the string accents on the side. I bought the brown ... go with the striped three sixty top and it looks GREAT.

Loved it
I always worry with swimsuit ... if they are going to hit me on my hip in a way that squishes my love handles out the top for a nice "muffin top" look. These don't! I love that they are adjustable and they are the perfect fit. Not too skimpy, but not old looking. I actually just ordered two more to mix and match with other suits.

GREAT FOR BUTT
I would like to think I am fit, but I still have a butt. It is hard to find swim bottoms that cover this butt. These swim bottoms fit great and covered everything perfectly without looking like granny panties. The down side is that the trim, once it gets old, holds water and make the bottoms sag, just because when any swim suit gets old it gets stretched out. But as a brand new suit, it lasts well for about 3 months, and this is coming from someone who is in a pool 3 times a week at least. I wear these at work (swim instructor/guard), I wear these for fun. But they suck for doing laps because of the trim. It causes a lot of drag. LOW IMPACT. But GREAT COVERAGE.

Best swim suit of the YEAR!
You don't need to look any further. This is the best fitting swim ... I've tried: ever! I wear it with the Twist kini Bra Top and it is my go to swimsuit every time. I am 5'5'' 125 lbs with slightly curvy hips and muscular legs (not to mention fit but fifty). This ... covers no matter what you are doing and does not ride up. Extremely flattering and stylish. The fabric is top quality and the Asphalt color is so beautiful (a gray/chocolate shade...like a raisen. (the exact color of "You don't know Jacque" by OPI nail polish). Lovely...and wears like steel.

So Flattering!!
After having three babies in 6 years, I have accepted the inevitability of a little post pregnancy pooch. I'm trying to wear it with pride . . . The waistband of this swimsuit is very flattering and hides it completely. They hug around the ... snugly but not too tight. Paired with either the Twistini bikini top or tankini top, this is a beautiful combination. I could not have designed a better swimsuit. And the Sangria color is divine!! I can honestly say that I am looking forward to swimsuit season this year!! Yahoo!!

Love it
I am 27 weeks pregnant and was looking for a two piece swimsuit that would stay put in the ocean and look great. Love this ... Fits Great. Prepregnancy size was a medium and I ordered the medium.

Love handle coverage
I was worried that these bottoms would look sloppy and that it wouldn't stay folded over, but much to my delight, they fit great! The folded over part hides my love handles and does not create the dreaded "muffin top" situation that tighter bottoms can. I had also ordered the medium tide bottoms, but I found them to be much too high of a rise and unflattering. These bottoms are low rise and perfect for me!

Comfy Bottoms but runs a little big
I'm 5 ft. 4 inches, 125 lbs and wear a size 6 and ordered a size medium because I hate bathing suit bottoms that are too tight around the waist (and cause the dreaded muffin top effect). There is a lot of fabric on these bottoms. When I first pulled them out of the wrapper I thought it was the bathing suit top I ordered! The extra fold over flap of material that runs along the top of the piece does not lay flat and the bottoms overall are a bit too big. I have worn them in the water, however, and they are comfortable and basically flattering. I just wish they were a half size smaller. If you are debating ordering the size larger or smaller, I would definitely order smaller.

nice fit
I like this swimsuit ... comfortable and covers what needs covering while still looking attractive. It is not too tight which i like, but fine for laid back swimming and fun in the sun.

Too Much Money
I liked the way the bottoms fit. But my concern is with my top. I need great coverage up there. It is hard to pay that much for up top and then have to pay a bunch for the bottoms too. I liked their fit, I liked the coverage. But I couldn't justify paying so much for both pieces. So...the bottoms went back.

Too small
Need to go up a size as the swimsuit bottoms run very small and are too tight.

Not what I hoped for
I was disappointed with these bottoms. I spend every day at the pool with my three kids and hoped to find a good swimsuit for a busy, active mom. Unfortunately these were not it. Coco color was ugly. I'm returning them for the medium tide ... sangria. I really hope they work out. This is getting expensive.

Not it
I was so excited to receive this suit - I ordered these bottoms with the Shirrendipity halter top. The top is wonderful, but the bottoms are awful. The other reviewers who mention how weird the extra fabric at the top is are right. It is all bulgy and not at all attractive. Plus, the rear has too much coverage and cuts in right about at where "Grandma panties" might. The Sangria color is very nice, but the fit is horrid. I had high hopes, since I ordered what I thought were similar bottoms from Gap last year, but these aren't even close to those. I should have ordered those again, but they are sold out (and it's only mid June - just the start of summer here in the Rockies!).
