Why Medium Coverage Wins: The Perfect Balance for Active Women

When choosing the right bikini bottom for swimming, training or long days at the beach, the cut matters more than many people realise. While cheeky and full-coverage styles both have their place, medium coverage bikini bottoms deliver the most balanced combination of comfort, security and confidence — especially for active women.

At Jaze Swimwear, we design exclusively with medium coverage because it supports your movement, flatters your silhouette and stays reliably in place in and out of the water. Here’s why medium coverage wins.

What Medium Coverage Really Means

Medium coverage refers to a bikini bottom that covers roughly half of the bum — more coverage than cheeky cuts, less than full-coverage designs.
The result? A clean, athletic look that supports your body without restricting movement.

Unlike cheeky cuts, medium coverage reduces riding-up when swimming or diving. Unlike full-coverage bottoms, it still feels light, modern and flattering.

It’s the sweet spot between freedom and security — and that’s exactly what active swimmers need. 

Why Medium Coverage Is Best for Active Women

1. Secure fit when swimming

A key advantage of medium coverage is its stability in the water.

Secure bikini bottoms stay in place during turns, dives and strong kicking movements — no slipping, no adjusting, no distractions.

For women who swim laps, join beach workouts or love water sports, this makes a world of difference.

2. Flattering high-leg silhouette

Medium coverage pairs perfectly with a high leg bikini bottom cut.
This visually lengthens the legs, shapes the waist and creates a streamlined silhouette that complements athletic movement. Our high-leg one-piece swimsuits offer the same flattering effect. If you want more guidance on choosing the right one-piece swimsuit we recommend this blog article.

Every Jaze bottom features a high-rise waist and modern high-leg finish — a combination that blends confidence with performance.

3. Comfortable for all-day wear

Comfort is essential in swimwear.
Medium coverage keeps you supported without feeling tight or bulky, making it ideal for:

• long training sessions
• active beach days
• holidays where you move more than you lounge
  

It’s the coverage level that adapts naturally to your body. If strap support matters to you, adjustable straps make the big difference, as you can read in our article as well. 

Why Jaze Swimsuits Focus Exclusively on Medium Coverage

Most brands offer cheeky, medium and full coverage to appeal to everyone — but at Jaze, focus is a strength.

• the fit → secure, confident, movement-friendly
• the silhouette → high-rise and high-leg to elongate

• the function → bottoms that stay in place during active swimming
  

Our goal is simple: swimwear that looks elegant and feels trustworthy. Explore our medium coverage bottoms designed for active women.

Cheeky vs Medium vs Full Coverage — Which Should You Choose?

While cheeky styles are trendy and full-coverage bottoms feel modest, neither performs as well in active environments.

How to Choose the Right Medium Coverage Bikini Bottom

Look for these features to ensure the perfect fit:

• High-rise waist for stability and leg-lengthening effect
• High-leg cut for athletic freedom
• Snug fit that stays put during swimming
• Soft yet supportive fabrics like ECONYL®
• Designs made for movement
  

Every Jaze bottom is built exactly this way — intentionally designed for women who want both confidence and performance.
