SpongeBob Bikini Bottom Leggings

Educational resources & donation included with every purchase. Learn more.

SpongeBob was created by marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, who used art to teach kids about the marine species and ecosystems around them. With its origin in marine science education, the series has always had a deep-rooted connection to the sea. This connection led Paramount and Nickelodeon to launch SpongeBob SquarePants: Operation Sea Change, a global conservation and sustainability initiative to help protect the home of the very creatures that inspired Bikini Bottom. We created this collection in partnership with Paramount Consumer Products to support the Operation Sea Change initiative as well as advocate for the importance of art in inspiring environmental stewardship.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the Bikini Bottom Ecosystem

The SpongeBob SquarePants creative team did such an incredible job designing the ecosystem of Bikini Bottom with its distinctive bright colors, iconic flower-shaped clouds, and buoyant mood that our team wanted to embody it when designing the SpongeBob Bikini Bottom collection. Although a fictional world, Bikini Bottom and its citizens are inspired by real underwater critters and places, many of which can be found in the intertidal zone.

Besides being huge fans of the show for its creativity, positivity, and forward-thinking themes, we love SpongeBob SquarePants as an example of how art can support environmental science and conservation. Art can provide an opportunity to instill emotion and humanity into science communication while maintaining its scientific integrity. Art can speak for animals, ecosystems, and communities who may not be able to speak for themselves. Art can transform apathy into enthusiasm, enthusiasm into action, and action into change. And in special cases when an artistic expression becomes widely popular like the animated adventures of a charismatic sponge, it can inspire an entire generation.

I love these swim pants. I paddle board and they stay up. I also love the phone pocket.

Just what I was looking for!

I thought I would have a much harder time finding quality swim leggings but I discovered this brand right away and after continuing to search they were the best option for multiple reasons. The print/color of these leggings is so vibrant! The quality feels good and they are very comfortable. I appreciated that I could cut them to the length I wanted which was relatively easy to do, but I am glad that I own a pair of fabric scissors which helped with the quality of the cut I made. I love that these are made from recycled materials, donate to ocean research, are chlorine resistant, have high UPF rating, a gusset crotch, and pockets! They hit me right at/just above my belly button which is good enough but I do wish these had a higher waist. I have not yet worn them in the water but I can't wait to do so! I'm happy that I can still look good while protecting my tattoos and skin from the sun. Their customer service is also very responsive and helpful.

I love these bikini bottom sponge bob leggings!
They fit amazingly well, slightly different than my last pair.
I’m a proud owner of 2 full swim suits (whale shark and turtle), the spring leggings and a shark hoodie.
When I can afford it I may buy another pair!

These are incredibly functional leggings for all season swimming, mat and sup yoga, ( I taught my online classes in them today), trail running and fun fashion.

Thank you
