Cheeky Bikini Bottoms

What Are Cheeky Bikinis?

A cheeky bikini bottom covers part of the cheek — the back panel stops short of full coverage, showing the lower curve of the cheek while the band and side seams hold the fit. Cheeky describes the amount of back coverage, nothing else: the waistband can sit low, mid or high, and the leg line can be straight or high.

This collection gathers 708 styles — the widest bottom pool in the store — because cheeky is the default middle of the coverage spectrum and the most common bottom tag across the catalog. Prices run from about $18 to $40.

Back Coverage and Leg Line Are Two Dials

Bottom words confuse shoppers when coverage and cut get merged. They are two independent dials:

• Back coverage — how much of the back the fabric covers, from full through cheeky to Brazilian and thong.
• Leg line — how high the leg opening rises on the hip, from low and straight to high cut.
• Waist rise — where the waistband sits, from low rise through mid to high waist.

A cheeky bottom can be low rise with a straight leg, or high waisted with a high leg — the cheek is only about the back panel. Read the photos for all three dials, not just the tag.

Cheeky vs Brazilian vs Thong

Coverage words sit on one spectrum, and the boundaries cause most of the confusion — different guides describe them differently:

• Cheeky — the back panel covers part of the cheek; the middle of the coverage spectrum.
• Brazilian — the back panel narrows further with a higher leg line; less back coverage than cheeky.
• Thong — the back narrows to a thin band; the minimal end of the spectrum.

This store's photos settle each piece: cheeky shows part of the cheek, Brazilian shows more side with a narrower panel, thong leaves the back to a band. The three words describe points on one sliding scale.

The Styles in This Collection

The cheeky pool is a directory-level tag, and the honest read helps:

• Every top style appears — halter, bandeau, push-up, triangle and string sets all pair with cheeky bottoms here.
• The tag runs wide — pieces tagged cheeky sit beside Brazilian and thong cuts in the same pool; the photos decide the actual back coverage.
• Price range — $18 to $40 across simple to detailed sets.

Treat this pool as the store's cheeky-leaning catalog — the back coverage in the photos is the fact on each piece.

Choosing a Cheeky Bikini

Work through four decisions:

• How much cheek: full-cheek, mid or high-cut cheeky — read the photos
• Rise: low, mid or high waist — separate dial from the cheek
• Leg line: straight, high or tie-side
• Top: any style — cheeky pairs across the catalog
