Why Do Bikini Bottoms Ride Up? Fix for FIO and TORI

Quick answer

Bikini bottoms ride up when the fabric or cut doesn't match your body shape. For FIO and TORI bottoms, the fix often involves adjusting the rise, checking the leg opening, or choosing a different size.

Diagnosis and fix for riding up

• Symptom: Bottoms creep upward during wear, especially after walking or swimming.
• Likely cause: Leg opening too tight (forces fabric up) or too loose (no grip). High-cut style can also shift if hip measurement is off. Check the leg opening fit first.
• Corrective action: For FIO: ensure the broderie trim sits flat against the skin without gaping. For TORI: adjust the waistband so it's snug but not tight. If the bottoms still ride up, try a smaller size for a tighter leg opening or a larger size for more room. After adjusting, walk and squat to test. If riding up persists, the cut may not suit your body shape.
• When to choose another option: If neither size adjustment stops the riding up, consider a different style with a lower leg cut or a fuller coverage bottom. LOU's range includes other bikini bottoms; check the fit guide for your measurements.

Product facts

• FIO Bottoms: Classic medium coverage bottoms with a high-cut leg and broderie trim, double lined using REPREVE recycled fabric. The broderie trim adds visual interest but can create a slight ridge; the double lining helps the fabric stay in place once the fit is correct.

  

• TORI Bottoms [Clearance]: High-waisted, classic medium coverage bottoms with a high-cut leg and seamless finish, double lined using REPREVE recycled fabric. The seamless finish prevents pinching but may allow more sliding; the high waist provides extra anchor points if sized properly.
