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.
