BODY SHAPE

These bikini briefs have a timeless mid-rise leg. They are suitable for all body shapes and therefore for all women who like to wear a 2-piece swimsuit.

The elasticated edges ensure the swimsuit stays in place in the water.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

For a perfect fit in the water, swimsuits need to be a tight fit while dry because they become looser once they are in the water. We therefore recommend you buy the correct size. The swimsuit needs to fit snugly against your body in the fitting room, and you should feel supported. The elastane content in certain components used in the design of our swimsuits softens and relaxes in the water.

LINING

These bikini bottoms are fully lined, making the swimsuit less see-through when wet.

STAYS IN PLACE IN THE WAVES: THE TEST

We design swimsuits that promise to stay in place in the waves. To test them, we use a panel of female surfers with different body shapes who follow a test protocol in a pool at our design offices in Hendaye, southwest France. This protocol aims to reproduce the sensations experienced by surfers when being thrown around by a wave. If this test is conclusive, we go surfing in the sea to test our swimwear in real conditions.

YOU ARE A BEGINNER SURFER

You are learning to surf or surf only a few times a year, during your holidays or a surf trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in tiny waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have designed a wide range of swimwear for you, to suit your occasional practice and your body shape.

ACTIVE AT THE BEACH!

Whether you are a surfer or enjoy bathing in the sea, you don’t want to lose your swimsuit! This is why we test all our swimsuits in the waves. Each model is designed for surfing and perfectly suits other water sports: stand-up paddle boarding, sailing, kite surfing, bathing, etc.

FEEL GOOD IN OUR SWIMWEAR

Our work centres on helping women to feel good in our swimsuits. The bust is not flattened, the bottoms don't dig in, and the level of coverage varies. Our mission is to ensure that every woman can find a swimming costume that suits her body, whatever her shape or size.

REMOVAL OF PLASTIC HYGIENE STICKERS FROM OUR SWIMWEAR

All women's swimsuits designed by Decathlon are sold without plastic hygiene stickers. This decision is based on a desire to reduce our use of plastic. Saving 940 km of plastic every year!

Please do your bit by always keeping your underwear on in our changing rooms.

DESIGN

Based in Hendaye, in South West France, our offices are right on the water's edge! We can design a swimsuit one day, then test it directly in the sea to check how it holds up in the waves.
