Microkini
A microkini (or micro bikini) is an extremely minimalist bikini that uses less fabric than a traditional bikini in order to show more skin and create less visible tan lines. They typically have thong-style bottoms and string straps, covering little more than the nipples and pubic hair. See-through material is sometimes used for the straps to create the illusion that the triangles of fabric are taped to the body. Some variations of the microkini use adhesive or wire to hold the fabric in place over the genitals. These designs do not require any additional side straps to keep the garment in place.
