A bikini or two-piece is a type of women's bathing suit, characterized by two separate parts—one
covering the breasts, the
other the groin (and optionally the buttocks), leaving an uncovered
area between the two garments. The shapes of both parts of a bikini
closely resemble women's
underwear, and the lower part of a bikini
can therefore range from the more revealing thong or g-string to
briefs and the more modest square-cut shorts.
