U are so right about the full coverage bottoms, I’ve tried wayyyy too many cheeky bottoms that I hate bc they’re the ONLY option, I just want a full coverage bottom :(

H & M has incredible full coverage bottoms if you wanted to take a look… usually j black white and maybe blue, but MUCH cheaper than high end swimwear brands. Lasts long too

I SO badly wish the swimsuits had a place for cup pads! I just really can't go without padding. I had tried out the collection but had to return for that reason... which is such a shame because this swim collection is so so cute!

@KathrynMueller Ай бұрын

Ugh I know, I am a cup pad girl!! Even more confusing when some of the tops have cup pads (like the cap sleeve crop) and some dont!

@sarahstalcup9621 Ай бұрын

If i really like it, i will make a small cut in the liner. But this only works for bikinis.

@erinodonnell386 Ай бұрын

Cakes are a really good solution for this. They’re silicone covers that stick to your skin without an adhesive. They work really well in swimwear and I honestly prefer them to having to fiddle with cup pads. Because the pads always seem to be slightly visible and can get crinkled and shift around. Cakes won’t.

hopefully pushing the algorithm to more ladies! thank you for these videos!! as someone with a similar body type to you, they are SO helpful. my favorite bathing suits for my body type are Left on Friday- they make great tops for larger chests (no padding, but they're double lined), and a lot of coverage options for bottoms. the other brand that works for me is L*Space, and they do have removable padding and different coverage options for bottoms. both very expensive but the quality is amazing.

@kaciecummings9866 Ай бұрын

I feel like Popflex asks for our opinions and just does whatever they want anyway. 🙄 Got a lot of comments about full coverage and so, what do they do? Same stuff. Cheeky and unflattering shorts. Like cool, thanks for listening? I am happy to hear you mention the lack of just regular bottoms!

@lauren8135 Ай бұрын

I like full coverage options for swim wear bottoms. I dunno a lot of girlies are out there looking great in the cheeky bottoms but it’s just not for me. Shorts are nice too but they have to actually be longer inseam. I bought a pair of like swim shorts that were like 3 inch inseam and they would just ride straight up into my crotch give like wrinkled wet diaper which is not the vibe!

@xiambearx Ай бұрын

I feel like literally no brands offer full coverage anymore 😢 My booty makes anything that isn't full coverage into a thong and I'm not really going for that look...

@KathrynMueller Ай бұрын

sometimes the swim shorts can be just as cheeky I agree!! they tend to go right up. I would still love to see more bikini shaped bottoms with full coverage - no one does that anymore!!

@ramenaddict1000 Ай бұрын

I get suits from a modest swimwear company limericki that has good full coverage options. I spent a ton of time looking and they have regular and high rise bikini bottoms and go up to size 4x. Otherwise my main go to is athleta. They usually have the full array and bra size tops.

@hkandm4s23 Ай бұрын

I get my full coverage bottoms at target. They typically have several cuts including high rise in solid colors. Then i can get fun tops without having to pay as much. I don't know how people can tolerate swimming with a wedgie.... it's not even about insecurity it just drives me crazy!

i absolutely hate removable cup pads. yeah cup pads are important but you have to fiddle around with the removable ones for so long to get it to be in a non unflattering position but then it just moves around so easily and it never stays where it should be they're so annoying. sewn in cup pads for the absolute win imo

Argh, yes the lack of normal brief cut bottoms recently is driving me insane! I have been looking for the perfect bikini for YEARS, but just cannot find it. I don't want my butt cheeks hanging out, and just want bikini bottoms shaped like a normal pair of underwear, not shorts. Don't think I'll be trying Popflex swimwear after seeing this, none of these designs appeal at all :/

Personally I don't really like traditional bikinis (I feel mostly more comfortable in one-pieces or tops with men's bottoms) but I find these reviews super interesting and helpful. This is a bit vulnerable, but it feels nice to see how similar bodies are, regardless of size, where there are squished bits even when something fits pretty perfectly. Anyway re algo! I hope this videos finds the right audience.

I’m probably going to buy that cap sleeve swimsuit top, and then I guess I’ll return if the shoulder part is weird on me. As soon as you held it up I was like “ohh cute” and I know you don’t like the extra shelf bra; but for me, my chest is large to the point where I have designated sports bras for UNDER one piece swimsuits over the summer that I just throw away after a few months. I have to feel 100% safe if I’m going to be actually moving around in the swimsuit (its different if I’m just sunbathing) because there’s so much mass to my chest and I don’t like cleavage in places I wasn’t expecting, haha. Anyways, the way this new Popflex shows tan lines also is super cute in my opinion

Thank you for the review! I find the cheekiness of the bottoms a bit odd as well, and I wish there was a more full coverage that is elongating the leg more. I ended up getting the bathing suit with the shorts. They look good, but I wish there was an option in between shorts and the cheeky.

@dominikakrizanova3129 Ай бұрын

I have to say that I quite like the contrast in the detailing on the upper and lower part of the white dress coverup. I think that the swimsuit top underneath will show nicely through and be the Center of attention, not the dress. And I link the kind of more sporty and covered upper part and the flows girly skirt, which is done very nicely. I personally never understood the appeal of bell sleeves. On me they just slide down all the time, which is a reason I only ever bought a top of this kind once. The green bottoms are great. I hate cheeky swim bottoms and the am really struggling to find nice looking bottoms that aren’t cheeky. I sadly mostly end up buying some from Arena or under armour, because they are the only ones that have the coverage I desire. The adjustable strap in the back is quite nice, I just don’t think it’s the best for tanning. Thank you for your review ☺️💐

As always, I appreciate your thorough reviews! I think it would be more helpful if you specify the country that the cup sizes are based (e.g. US vs UK sizing). I know Popflex is a US based brand, so it would make sense that US cup sizing is used. However, they do ship internationally and other countries may use different cup sizing measurements.

I got the coastline cap sleeve bikini top. It gets worse and worse. When I first put it on, the cap sleeves were so tight. Even though I was wearing the size I should in all their other tops. So I cut the caps off. Even then, the sleeves constantly fall off my shoulders. But it gets worse. I went swimming in it yesterday. Talk about bubble galore. That bikini top holds air like nobody’s business. Even in the sleeves. It’s embarrassing. I’d return it, if I didn’t already cut the caps off.
