Can you believe it’s almost officially summer?! If you’re looking to revamp your current swimwear lineup with some butt-lifting swimsuits to flatter that (already cute AF) derriere, we’ve got you covered for any upcoming vacations. It’s always been my stance that a cheekier cut is more flattering than fuller coverage options, regardless of your booty size—I mean, seriously, is there anything worse than an ill-fitted, overly-loose bathing suit bottom looking like a straight-up diaper that needs to be changed.

Obviously, the cut, design, and amount of coverage you opt for is totally up to you and your comfort level, but regardless of how much of your backside you’re down to reveal, there are tons of lifting and sculpting swimwear options on the market that are designed to boost your behind and follow current swimsuit trends.

In those scenarios, there is no better feeling than slipping into that go-to, butt-lifting swimsuit that never seems to fail us—even on the days when we’re not feeling our best (hey, we all have those days from time to time—regardless of how much we love our bodies or how confident we are).

Whether you’re looking for a cheeky bikini bottom or a chic one-piece that highlights your assets, we’ve rounded up the most foolproof, backside-enhancing swimsuits that will help you remind yourself just how hot you are (bum and all).

SKIMS Tanga Bikini Bottom

$42 Buy Now

If there’s anyone who knows how to make clothing that accentuates your backside, it’s Kim K. And in case you didn’t know, her clothing brand, SKIMS, makes swimwear. The Tanga Bikini Bottom caught my eye as an option that isn’t high-waisted yet still manages to flatter the bum. Just be careful if you’re moving around a lot, since these bottoms don’t offer a whole lot of coverage in the front or back.

Alternatively, if you want to try SKIMS’ soft, stretchy fabric but prefer swimsuits with more coverage, the brand sells super flattering bikini shorts, too.
