Overall, this is a fine product. The elastic doesn''t cut into my skin, and it withstood the waves at the ocean. However, if you have a curvaceous rear end, you''ll run into the problem of it not quite covering your cheeks. I have this problem a lot with swim bottoms and if I go a size higher, they tend to be a little droopy in the back. Again, fine product, just not as much coverage for a full figured bottom.
