Two moderate cuts, one clear difference
If you're choosing between the Sensual French Cut and the Sensual Hi Waist Bikini, you're comparing two period underwear styles that share the same moderate absorbency (up to 6 tampons) but differ in cut and coverage. The French Cut offers full bottom coverage with delicate lace trim, while the Hi Waist Bikini provides moderate bottom coverage and a soft scalloped lace waistband. Both sit higher on the waist with a mid-cut leg, so the waist height is similar—the real decision comes down to how much coverage you want through the seat and how you feel about lace details.

Sizing and colour options

The Sensual Hi Waist Bikini comes in Black (US 4/XS to US 12/XL) and Bitter Chocolate Brown (US 6/S to US 18/4XL). If you prefer a brown tone or need a size above US 12/XL in Black, check the specific product page for current availability. Always refer to the size chart to confirm your best fit, as cuts can run differently.
How to care for both styles
To keep the absorbent lining working and the lace looking its best, follow the care instructions: machine cold wash after wearing, do not bleach, do not add softener, do not tumble dry, and do not iron. Line dry. For the French Cut, the brand also recommends rinsing first before a gentle cold machine wash. These steps help maintain absorbency and fabric integrity over time.
