10 Affordable Bikinis Under $10

If you’ve been keeping up with my YouTube vlogs then you know I signed a short six-week lease in Saint Petersburg, Florida. I leave on Wednesday for my next best adventure and could not be more excited to be living just five minutes from the beach. I’ll be spending a lot of time in swimsuits which seemed like the perfect excuse to place an order for some new ones!

If you’re someone who likes wearing a different bikini every day, I suggest checking out Amazon and SheIn for the most affordable options. Today I’m rounding up ten new bikinis each under $10. I was able to find these suits on both websites so if you’d prefer to shop from Amazon, I’ll leave my storefront linked here!

In the meantime, enjoy a mini review on each of these suits.

THE HAUL

Per usual I filmed a video talking through all of the suits pictured below. Not only am I discussing sizing, fit, and prices but I’m trying each suit on so you can see how they fit. Be sure to give this video a big thumbs up and subscribe for more swimwear hauls (including sustainable brands like Dippin Daisys and Everything But Water coming very soon!).

SIZING

The number one question I get regarding SheIn swimwear is sizing. For those of you wondering I am wearing the smallest size available in each of the suits. That means if they offer an XS, I am wearing an XS. If the smallest size offered in that suit is a Small then I am wearing a Small.

Want to find a swimsuit that fits you best? Here’s how to do so successfully. 

1. Take your own measurements. Take out a measuring tape and actually measure yourself. Your bust, waist, hips, and length of the torso are among the most important measurements to have on hand. For those wondering, I am a 34B in the chest, 25-inch waist, and 27-inch length for one-pieces.
2. Check the measurements for each swimsuit. Although SheIn has one standard size chart, the measurements are different for each suit. Hover over the size and it will give you all sorts of dimensions. My number one spot of reference is the waist. If the waist measurement is above a 26 I know it’s going to be far too large on me.
3. Remember that size does not equal coverage. So many people receive a cheeky suit and say it’s too small. Sizing up will not change how much your suit covers, it will simply change how large the actual item is in circumference. Do not be fooled; if the suit looks too tiny for your liking, sizing up will not instantly make the swimsuit cover as much as you would like!

HIPSTER BOTTOMS

I’m splitting this post into two different sections—the first five suits all have standard hipster bottoms. These are my favorite type of bottoms because there’s virtually no chance of them falling off. Plus, not having self-ties keeps them from sliding around. I recommend this style bottom if you are planning on being active in the water and/or are looking for a family-friendlier option.

This bikini is hands down one of the most flattering suits in my collection. I have this in five colors now because it’s just that good. This specific suit is great for both tanning and swimming. This is a triangle top however the cups are stitched into place so there’s no chance of them moving around. This also has zero self-ties or clasps so there’s literally zero chance of this falling off.

This has classic hipster bottoms that leave the best kind of tan line. Plus, these are just the right amount of cheeky, making your butt look extra perky. I couldn’t love this suit more!

It’s one of those suits you just have to get in more than one color. I couldn’t resist this bright neon—this will make that summer tan pop like crazy! This suit holds everything right in place. Because of that, it runs a little snug so if you’re in between sizes I would suggest going up.

Of course, I had to grab this in black and white as well. You can never go wrong with a basic!

This suit looks similar with its piped color blocking but the style is actually quite different. This is a string top meaning the cups can move along the lower band, leaving room for a little more cleavage. This also self-ties along the neck and bust so you can cater this towards any chest size. I love the little pearl detail along the center.

This suit also has the same pearls along the hips. This is such a fun detail; I’m obsessed! The bottoms are much tinier in coverage and very cheeky in the back… don’t say I didn’t warn you, lol.

I’ve been seeing these lace-lined bikinis everywhere this season! I believe Frankie’s Bikinis launched this design first but other retailers have been knocking them off ever since. The eyelet lace along the cups and waistline gives this suit a lingerie-like feel that I’m not quite sure how I feel about.

I think it’s a unique design but I feel like this looks a little too much like a bra and underwear. I don’t know… what are your thoughts?!

TIE SIDE/STRING BOTTOMS 

Nothing screams the 90s quite like a string bikini that ties along the hips! These tend to be a little skimpier in coverage but they are crazy flattering on so many different figures. I’ve got five suits to share with you today.

You can’t go wrong with a classic string-style suit. This is your typical triangle top with ties along the neck and bust. As you can tell, the bottoms self-tie as well. These types of suits leave minimal tan lines which I always appreciate but they do tend to move around a little more while swimming.

They also run the risk of untying which is why I always suggest tying these in a knot first and then a bow!

This smocked kind comes in 10+ colors so naturally, I had to pick it up in two 😜. I love the pastel purple but I thought the pastel blue was irresistible. Definitely one of my most reached for suits in my collection—I highly suggest for a good tanning session!

This adorable towel-textured suit is a knockoff of one of Traingl’s best sellers and it’s spot on! This was my first time trying a string bikini that ties in the front rather than the back and I’m in love! This is a minor detail that adds so much to the look—plus, it gives you a little extra cleavage.

Of all the bikinis in my collection, this has to be one of my favorites. It’s so unique that I don’t think I have anything quite like it. I’m obsessed with that bright blue and these adorable flowers along the boobs. Such a flattering fit and looks good on every body shape.

I adore swimsuits with this underwire top. They provide a little extra support for the bustier gals and keep everything in place. This has thin adjustable straps and a standard silver clasp along the back. Bonus points for the adorable lettuce-hem ruffle along the cups! These bottoms have a little more coverage in both the front and back which is much appreciated.

SHOP THE SUITS 

As I mentioned earlier, each one of these suits is under $10 for both the top and bottom. That is such a steal already but you can grab an additional 15% off your entire SheIn purchase when you use my code Q4mckenz15 at checkout. SheIn has hundreds of other styles available so if you weren’t sold on one of these suits, you can browse through more by clicking here.

I can’t believe it’s already swim season again! I hope you enjoyed today’s affordable bikini haul. I’ll be back next week to compare several different sustainable small businesses swimsuits. In the meantime, you can read up on some of my favorite suits from last year in these posts.

With love, McKenz
