Thong bikini

Although the thong bikini is supposed to be the same thing as the string bikini, many people claim otherwise. Scroll to the bottom of this page to read more information regarding the thong bikini argument.

The backside of thong bikinis

The reason why there is a lot of arguing as to whether or not they are the same thing has to do with the striking similarity between the two bikinis. In some cases, depending on the manufacture and model of your bikini, they look identical.

In other cases, the backside of the thong bikini (the area where some girls have the lower back tattoo) has a small thin piece of strip-like cloth that covers that area. This little strip makes the bikini unique in some cases. So if you want, you can specifically call the string bikinis without the strip thong bikinis.

History of the style

Brazilian beaches spawn new designer inspirations all the time. It’s no wonder that is also where the birth of the thong bikini arose. The original style came in three very popular variations.

A tank suit
Two piece bikini
Topless bikini (monokini)

The styles flaw

This bikini along with the string bikini, cater to a small market. The reason is because most girls lack the body and wouldn’t dare to wear this bikini. The amount of women in the world that actually wear this bikini is very low volume and most women opt for the traditional bikini or even a great looking micro bikini will work out better for them.
