Product Insights
The Saline Guave-Striped High-Rise Boyshort Reversible by Othersea is a health-safe, sustainable swimwear option featuring bagged-out construction that prevents pattern ghosting and eliminates exposed seams, with non-tensioned elastic for a flat, contoured edge and a double layer reducing stretch for a snug yet relaxed fit. Made from lightweight, quick-drying recycled polyester microfibre that dries up to three times faster than nylon-spandex blends and reduces carbon emissions by 32% and energy use by 59% compared to virgin polyester, it is OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified for skin safety, a guarantee absent from recycled competitors. The reversible design offers two looks—guava-stripe and solid red—while using less material and, with proper care (hand washing cold, laying flat to dry, rinsing after swims), extends wear and reduces waste. Handmade in Quebec to lower transportation emissions, it is priced at CAD $59.95 (regular $128), undercutting comparable reversible bottoms by over $30 and delivering two styles in one, though the certification assures only as-produced safety and the care requirements demand extra effort to preserve fabric and elastic.
Verified claims
- Construction
- Bagged-out construction with two face fabrics prevents pattern ghosting and eliminates exposed seams.
- Fit
- High-rise boyshort cut with non-tensioned elastic creates a flat, contoured edge; double layer reduces stretch for a snug but relaxed fit.
- Comfort
- Lightweight and quick-drying when wet, and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified for skin safety.
- Lab testing
- Every component, including reversible faces, tested against over 1,000 harmful substances for direct skin contact.
- Limitations
- Certification applies only to as-produced safety, not durability or performance.
- Competitive edge
- Unlike competitor swimwear from Joe Fresh, Hurley, and Smeralda, which lists recycled content but does not mention OEKO-TEX, this bottom certifies the entire finished garment under STANDARD 100.
- Quick drying
- Dries up to three times faster than nylon-spandex blends.
- Carbon emissions
- Recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by 32% and energy use by 59% compared to virgin polyester.
- Waste reduction
- The reversible design provides two looks in one garment, and the brand advises rinsing after each use and avoiding extended chlorine and saltwater exposure to maintain appearance and durability, which can lower replacement waste.
- Local production
- Handmade in Quebec places this bottom in a small-batch, local-manufacturing tier with a shorter, more transparent supply chain than typical mass-market reversible swim bottoms.
- Competitive pricing
- Sale price CAD $59.95 undercuts comparable reversible bottoms by over $30 and offers two looks in one.
- Certified quality and provenance
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified and handmade in Quebec; the recycled polyester reduces carbon emissions by 32% and energy use by 59% compared to virgin polyester.
- Price & Value
- Sale $59.95 (regular $128) — undercuts Loco Boutique ($80+) and Smeralda ($210).
- Sustainability
- 85% recycled polyester microfibre is OEKO-TEX certified and produces 32% fewer carbon emissions than virgin polyester.
- Care
- Hand wash with a mild soap in cold water, lay flat to dry, avoid bleach, dry cleaning, and machine drying; rinse after swims and avoid storing the suit wet or wringing it out.
- Pattern integrity
- Double-layer construction prevents pattern ghosting on the solid reverse side.
- OEKO-TEX scope
- OEKO-TEX mark only guarantees as-produced state, not durability or cleaning reactivity.
- Colorways
- Provides a guava-stripe pattern on one side and a solid-coloured underside on the reverse.
- Chlorine and saltwater resistance
- The polyester microfibre is resistant to chlorine and saltwater, but prolonged exposure can cause damage over time; rinse after each use and avoid extended contact to maintain appearance and durability.

High-coverage boyshort bottoms for swim days
These high-rise boyshort swim bottoms sit at the natural waist and give full coverage across the seat, a style for swimmers who prefer a short-style bottom with more coverage. The reversible design flips to a solid colour on the underside, so you can switch between the guave-striped look and a plainer one. They're made from ultra-soft recycled polyester blend microfibre certified free of harmful substances under OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, with a matching top sold separately.[1,2,3]
