Bikini Sizing

Poko Pano and Paola Robba products are available in traditional Brazilian Cut and/or a customised European Cut that provides additional coverage. A limited stock is also available in a Thong Cut.

All products are made with Lycra® that stretches to fit within your size range. Styles with adjustable waist, back, and shoulder straps and ties help to achieve a perfect fit.

The following descriptions provide general guidelines. Some variations apply depending on style of item. Contact us with specific questions regarding cut and/or size.

European Cut = Normal Coverage

Poko Pano's customised European Cut provides the coverage typically offered by other European brands. The fabric generally scoops underneath the bottom and/or is extended to cover the majority of the bottom to provide modest coverage, comfort, and confidence.

Brazilian Cut = Less Coverage

Poko Pano's traditional Brazilian Cut typically cuts across the bottom instead of scooping underneath. It has been described as a "bra for the bum", as it functions to lift, shape and support; less fabric actually creates a minimising effect and the appearance of a smaller figure. This cut has earned Brazil its notorious reputation as the best in swimwear craftsmanship, and confirms the adage: "Less is more".

Thong Cut = Least coverage

Poko Pano's Thong Cut bottom offers the least amount of coverage, as it is composed of a small T-shaped strip of fabric that attaches to the waistband. Excellent for minimising tan lines and showing off the body.
