Brazilian Bikini Size Guide: US to Brazilian Sizes (PP, P, M, G, GG)
Brazilian sizes use PP, P, M, G and GG instead of XS to XL. Here is the full conversion chart with bust, waist and hip measurements, plus how to measure yourself and choose between two sizes.

The short answer: Brazilian bikini sizes convert to US sizes like this: PP = XS, P = S, M = M, G = L, GG = XL and XGG = XXL. The letters come from Portuguese: P is pequeno (small) and G is grande (large).

| XS | PP | 78 to 82 cm (30.5 to 32 in) | 60 to 64 cm (23.5 to 25 in) | 86 to 90 cm (34 to 35.5 in) |

These are the measurements we use for every Soul de Verão bikini and one-piece. Our pieces fit true to US sizing.
How to measure yourself
- Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms.
- Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.
- Hips: stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom.
Measure over light underwear or bare skin, keep the tape snug but not tight, and use centimeters if you can, since they are more precise.
Between two sizes?
- For bottoms, follow your hip measurement. The hips decide how the back of a Brazilian bottom sits.
- For tops, follow your bust measurement. Tie and bandeau tops forgive a lot; structured tops like the Ipanema do not.
- Still between sizes? Size up for a more relaxed fit, or choose a tie style like the Copacabana that you can adjust.
Do Brazilian bikinis run small?
Many Brazilian brands do run small compared with US brands, and the cheeky Brazilian cut shows more than an American bottom in the same size. That is a difference in cut, not in size, so do not size down to get more coverage; choose a style with more coverage instead. If you are unsure what the cut means, read Brazilian vs American bikini cut.
Sizing for one-pieces
For a one-piece, your torso length matters as much as your bust and hips. If you are tall or long in the torso and between two sizes, size up. Our Bahia and Floripa one-pieces stretch well and fit true to size.
What if it doesn't fit?
US orders can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of delivery if the piece is unworn, with tags and the hygienic liner attached. Email support@souldeverao.com with your order number and we will help you find the right size.
