Essential Bikini

I love the essential bikini!

Awesome bikini! Stays in place, no creeping up my butt. I normally wear a string bikini because I don't like a lot of fabric bunching up but these don't bunch. They have great butt coverage and are slightly snug, which keeps them in place. I am 170lbs and I got a size large.

Easy exchange process

I had previously ordered dark nude in size large (typically wear M, but I took the advice of other reviewers and sized up to L). I am 5’9” and 150 lbs. They fit perfectly. After wearing for a bit, I ordered another L in the lunar gray. Right out of the package, I noticed how little they looked. They were way too small when trying them on. The customer service online exchange was very easy. I returned them for light nude size L and they fit correctly, exactly like the dark nude I already owned. I saw other reviews indicate that sometimes the sizing is not consistent. It definitely seems the gray was mislabeled with the wrong size.

Great for backpacking

I work in the outdoor industry and have been wearing Branwyn while backpacking for 9+ days at a time. I have been very pleased with the comfort, moisture wicking, and durability of the products!
