“I am thrilled with this purchase, I bought the black one too !!!!! My entire life I have wanted to wear this style and now I can !!!! My only comment would be that the rise could be a bit higher, but that's just me, I have a long crotch to waist ratio. I plan on wearing these to the wave pool too, because I get tired of the constant bikini waxes, but I'll probably wear bikini bottoms underneath until I determine how see-thru they get when wet.”
