Bikini (underwear)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bikini underwear is a term used for a type of undergarment worn by both men and women that is similar in size and revealing nature to the bottom half of a bikini bathing suit, popular among women.

For women a bikini can refer to virtually any tight, skimpy, or revealing undergarment that provides less coverage to the midsection that traditional underwear panties or knickers.

For men, a bikini is a type of undergarment that is smaller and more revealing than men's briefs. Men's bikinis can have both high or low side panels and normally rest lower than the true waist at the upper hips. Most men's bikinis lack a button or flap front. Many do not have a visible waistband like briefs.
