Quick answer
The Modibodi Soft Stretch Brazilian Brief offers a low-rise, cheeky cut with light absorbency (20 ml) for worry-free swimming. Use this guide to find your size, understand the coverage, and style it with confidence.
What coverage does the Brazilian cut offer?
The Brazilian cut is designed to sit low on the hips and provide less rear coverage than a classic brief. Expect a cheeky silhouette that shows more of your backside. This style is ideal if you prefer a modern, sporty look at the pool or beach.
Because the waistband sits low, it pairs naturally with high-waisted or bikini tops. If you are used to full-coverage swim bottoms, the Brazilian cut may feel revealing at first, but the soft stretch fabric adapts to your shape for a secure fit.
Sizing and fit considerations
Modibodi swimwear uses standard US sizing, but the soft stretch ECONYL® yarn provides a forgiving fit across a range of body shapes. If you are between sizes, consider your hip measurement: the fabric will stretch, but a too-large size may reduce the leak-proof seal.
The absorbency panel is built into the gusset, so the brief feels like a regular swimsuit bottom when dry. For light flow days or as a backup, the 20 ml capacity (up to 4 tampons) is sufficient, but it is not designed for heavy flow or full-day wear.
How to find your fit in the Soft Stretch Brazilian Brief
- Measure your hips and waist: Use a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and the narrowest part of your waist. Compare these numbers to Modibodi’s size chart. The low-rise waistband sits about 2–3 inches below your natural waist, so focus on hip measurement. Common mistake: measuring only your waist can lead to a too-small size that digs in at the hips.
- Choose your absorbency level: This brief comes in Light absorbency (20 ml). Use it for light flow days, spotting, or as a backup with a tampon. It is not suitable for heavy flow or extended wear beyond a few hours. Checkpoint: if you need more capacity, look for Modibodi swim styles with Medium or Heavy absorbency.
- Try the brief on dry first: Wear the brief at home for a few minutes to assess the fit. The soft stretch fabric should feel snug but not tight. Walk, bend, and sit to ensure the leg openings stay in place without riding up. Common mistake: assuming the fit will change significantly when wet. The fabric retains its shape, so a good dry fit means a good wet fit.
- Style with a compatible top: Because the waistband sits low, pair the Brazilian brief with a bikini top that has a similar rise or a high-waisted bottom if you prefer more coverage. The cheeky cut works well with triangle, bandeau, or sporty crop tops. Checkpoint: avoid pairing with a full-coverage tankini top that extends below the waist, as it may bunch over the low-rise band.
