You might be wondering, "just what exactly is a scrunchie butt?" Its somewhat of a silly name, but scrunchie butt actually refers to a style of bikini bottom that's been gaining popularity over the last few years. For at least the past decade, it seemed as though the trend with bikinis pointed toward smaller and smaller bottoms. Thankfully, today there are designs and cuts of bikinis that are somewhat reversing that trend, opting instead for cuts that offer more coverage and embellishments.
The scrunchie butt bikini is a big part of this. One common characteristic they all share is the wrinkled or "ruched" fabric in the back. This adds a bit of visual flair and, depending on how the fabric is sewn, can accentuate some features while hiding others. Another plus is that the ruched fabric can eliminate annoying and potentially embarrassing drooping of your bikini bottom when exiting the water.
Scrunchie butt bikinis come in all sorts of cuts and styles, ranging from mild to wild. Your everyday ruched bikini bottom fits and looks like any other with the addition of the ruched fabric:
Other styles include the whale tail thong, named for obvious reasons:
Then of course there's the Brazilian bikini bottom with ruched details:
So needless to say, there are tons of bikini bottom styles out there that utilize ruched fabric, its simply a matter of finding one that best fits your personal style.
