Classic Bikini The classic bikini is a perhaps one of the most common and most popular types of bikini today. It is a two-piece garment designed to cover the breast, groin, and the buttocks.
Depending on your taste, you can choose from a variety of bikini designs, styles, and cuts. The top for instance can be haltered, or a tube top, or a bandeau. If you want a top that offers more support, then a halter is your perfect choice. You can also select from the traditional triangle cup that lifts and shapes the breast.
Tankini A tankini is a type of bikini that offers more coverage than a regular bikini. The top is usually a cropped tank top that covers the entire chest area. There are also tankinis that covers the upper body up to the person’s navel.
Tankinis also come in a number of materials. Popular choices include Lycra, nylon, cotton, and spandex.
A tankini is the ideal choice for women who have long torsos but small breast and less tone abdomen. They are also perfect for women who are conservative or those who does not feel comfortable wearing a bikini top.
String Bikini A string bikini is the sexier version of the traditional bikini. Its name was derived from the strings in its design. It commonly includes a triangular shaped top that is connected by a thin string. The groin are is also covered by a triangular cloth with two strings around the waist area. A string bikini is your perfect choice if you want a sexy yet less revealing type of bikini.
Microkini If you want an ultra skimpy bikini, then a microkini is just for you. A microkini is a variation of bikini that features a thin strip of cloth that covers the breast and the genital area. The term was derived from the fact that it barely covers the body thus filling the gap between nudism and conservative bathing suits. A microkini is ideal for those who would want to get an even tan minus without being nude.
Sling Bikini Also referred to as suspenders bikini, the sling bikini is a one-piece suit that offers less coverage than a traditional swimsuit. The sling or strap goes around the waist. Each strap is suspended from the shoulders thus, covering only the middle portion of the breasts.
Monokini A monokini is a type of bikini that features only lower half of the bikini. It does not have a bikini top which leaves the breasts bare. A monokini is ideal for women who would want to sunbathe topless.
