Needed to try a different brand of underwear as my normal VS brand just doesn't cut it with my new mom body. This bikini is made of a soft comfortable material. I was worried the holes would make them more see through, but they are not at all. I normally wear a small in underwear, but these were a tad bigger than I like. I normally like to wear a string bikini but opted for this cut since the reviews were better. These are also a bit more full coverage than I like in the back. But they hold up well in the wash and work well.
