Review: Doreanse Racer Bikini
I really like the Euro thong from Doreanse, but so far the styles I’ve tried since aren’t meeting expectations. I guess the Euro thong got me to set them too high. Like the swift bikini these tend to slide down some from where I pull them to sit. On the plus side, they seem to slide less than the swift style. I guess these are meant to be a lower rise. Other than that I like the bikini.
I like the accent side colors and the fabric is soft and comfortable. The fabric is a blend of 45% cotton, 45% modal, and 10% lycra, which so far is the norm for their underwear. Another norm for their items is a smaller pouch than most other pairs, which still works fine for me and I actually like. Just be aware if you’re packing these might not be a good option for you. The pouch is around moderate coverage, double layered, and center seamed. The sides measure in at about an inch. The back of the bikinis is a full back, which I wouldn’t mind less coverage in the back. The pair can be machined washed, but not recommend for the dryer. I’m finding hanging to dry seems to be becoming popular care for underwear. I do it anyways for all my underwear.
These may not have met my expectations, but they are a decent bikini. Probably not one I’d buy in another color though mainly because I’m not a low rise fan. I do like the fabric Doreanse uses and the pouch design works well for me too. I contemplated a while about one thong up or no thongs up for these. As you can see I went with one thongs up, since I think they are worth a try if you like the looks of them and the low rise style. Still have my eyes on some more of this brand to try, so not giving up on finding another two thongs up winner from them.

I’m surprised you didn’t get on that well with these. These are some of my favourite bikinis right now and have picked up 3 of them in different colours. I don’t find them too low rise and whilst the pouch is narrow and small, the fit is very good and the fabric is stretchy enough to accommodate my package comfortably. Perhaps it’s the sizing – I wear one size up from my usual size which may explain the difference.
That could be a possibility. Pretty sure my waist size was in the size I picked. The Euro thong fit well in the same size. Guess I can think about sizing up and try them again.
