Why Most Bikini Bottoms Squeeze

And what onewith did about it 😏

If you’ve ever put on a bikini bottom that looked cute on the hanger but somehow left you feeling squeezed, digging, or constantly adjusting it at the beach, that's not a you problem. 

Most bikini bottoms are designed with one priority: staying on in the water. And traditionally, the swimwear industry has solved that problem with tight seams, heavy elastic, and compressive construction.

The result? Bikini bottoms that pinch your hips, dig into your cheeks, and make you hyper-aware of your swimsuit all day long.

We were SO sick and tired of the way swimsuits made us feel, so we created a new kind of swimsuit. onewith took the concept of what makes no-show underwear so flattering, and made it swimmable! The result is the most flattering swimsuit that lays flat on your body, like a second skin. 

Why Traditional Bikinis Squeeze

Most Swimwear Relies on Tight Elastic to Stay Secure

Traditional bikini bottoms are usually built with thick elastic bands sewn into every edge. Those tight seams are what keep the suit from moving around in the water, but there's a serious (and very unfortunate) tradeoff. 

The construction that keeps the swimsuit “secure” is also what causes:

• Digging at the hips
• Squeezing around the legs
  
• Visible compression lines
• Constant adjusting throughout the day

Even "seamless” swimsuits still use hidden elastic around the edges, so they dig in just like a normal swimsuit. 

What We Did Differently at onewith

We created swimsuits that fit like your favorite no-show seamless underwear. Our beyond-seamless swimwear is designed without the use of tight bulky seams. 

Instead, our ultra-flattering swimsuits feature:

• Patented raw-cut edges
• Elastic-free construction
• Dig-free design
• Flexible inner grip strip to keep it secure
• A smooth, second-skin feel

The result is a bikini bottom that lays flat against your body instead of squeezing it.

How Our Patented Raw-Cut Swim Works

Rather than using tight elastic to hold the swimsuit in place, onewith's better-than-seamless swimwear uses a soft, flexible inner grip strip that helps keep the suit secure in the water, without digging into your skin.

Because the edges are raw-cut and elastic-free:

• There are no bulky seams pressing into your body
• The fabric moves naturally with you
• Your suit won't need constant adjusting (or any adjusting, for that matter!)
• You get a smooth silhouette without harsh lines

So you get the look and feeling of seamless underwear, but in a swimsuit. What more could a girl need?? 😉

Why Women Are Switching to Dig-Free Swimwear

Women are increasingly looking for:

• Comfortable bikini bottoms
• No-dig swimwear
• Swimsuits that don’t cause muffin top
• Seamless bikini bottoms that actually feel seamless
• Flattering swimwear without compression

We're so here for it! We firmly believe that you should enjoy your beach, pool, vacation, or boat day without constantly thinking about how your swimsuit feels on your body. 

The best swimsuit is the one that stays in place, doesn't dig in, and fits like a second skin. 

Your Swimsuit Shouldn’t Hurt

For years, women were told that squeezing, digging, and adjusting were just part of wearing a bikini. onewith is here to change that. Our flattering size-inclusive swimwear stays secure without relying on tight elastic seams, so your bikini can finally feel as good as it looks.

Because swimwear should move with your body, not fight against it.
