17in Swim Skirt Bottoms High Waisted Modest Swim Skirt (Style W22Z)

In this review of the baleaf 17in swim skirt bottoms, the bottom line is clear: this modest, high waisted swim skirt is best for swimmers who want extra coverage with practical details. It delivers a longer 17in skirt length that covers the butt and sits near the natural waist for many wearers, and the built-in boxer liner and 4in wide elastic waistband provide comfort and reliable tummy control. The review focuses on fit, coverage and everyday usability rather than performance swimwear features.

Key Features

• 17in length: Provides modest coverage that helps protect the upper legs and butt from sun and chafing while remaining wearable for everyday beach use.
• High waisted tummy control: The 4in width elastic waistband and inner drawcord keep the skirt secure and smooth the midsection for a flattering silhouette.
• Built-in boxer liner: A non-see-through liner adds modesty, reduces sand irritation and supports unrestricted movement while swimming or walking on the beach.
• Two side pockets: Deep pockets dry quickly and hold essentials like a phone, keys or cards so you can be hands-free near the water.
• Side slits for mobility: Slits at the sides improve leg movement for walking, swimming or light water sports without sacrificing coverage.

Who It's For

This swim skirt is ideal for women seeking modest swimwear that still looks contemporary and flattering; it suits those who prefer skirt coverage that reaches near the knees rather than traditional bikini bottoms. The built-in boxer liner and tummy control appeal to anyone wanting comfortable, confidence-boosting swim bottoms for mixed beach activities.

It is less suited to competitive swimmers or people who require technical performance fabrics and compression for long laps; also note that some users have reported slight transparency when fully saturated, so if opaque wet coverage is critical a heavier fabric swim brief may be preferable.

Pros & Cons
