What Counts as a “Skimpy” Swimsuit?

Skimpy swimsuits are characterized by minimal fabric, high-cut lines, and daring silhouettes. These styles are intentionally revealing and designed to celebrate the body, often featuring panels or cutouts that are strategically placed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of the design.

Common skimpy styles include:

✔ Micro Bikinis

Micro bikinis allow you to pair different tops and bottoms for a customized look, featuring ultra-tiny triangles or bandeau tops with barely-there bottoms. Perfect for tanning and making a statement.

✔ Thong or G-String Bottoms

Minimal back coverage that elongates the legs and gives a bold, confident look.

✔ Cutout One-Pieces

These offer the illusion of a bikini with strategic cutouts around the bust, waist, or hips. These cutout one-pieces are designed for both style and swim functionality, making them suitable for those who want a skimpiest swimsuit that looks great and performs well in the water.

✔ Underboob & Sideboob Swimsuits

Designed to show intentional, tasteful skin for a high-fashion finish.

✔ String Bikinis with Adjustable Ties

Complete freedom to customize the fit (and how daring you want to be).

Caring for Your Swimsuit

When you invest in a micro bikini or any piece of stylish swimwear, you want it to look stunning every time you hit the beach or pool. Proper care is the secret to keeping your favorite bikinis, one piece swimsuits, and cheeky styles in perfect shape all summer long.

After a fun day in the sun, always rinse your swimwear with cold water to wash away salt, chlorine, and sunscreen. This simple step helps prevent stubborn tan lines and keeps the fabric looking fresh and vibrant. For your bikinis with cut outs or delicate string details, handle them gently to avoid snags and maintain their bold beauty.

When it’s time to wash, opt for a mild detergent and skip the bleach or fabric softener, these can break down the fabric and affect the fit and comfort of your suit. Instead of wringing out your swimwear, gently squeeze out excess water and lay it flat to dry. This helps preserve the shape and support of your favorite pieces, whether you love a classic bikini or a daring micro style.

To protect your swimwear from fading, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for too long. If you need to dry your suit outside, cover it with a towel to shield it from the harsh sun. When storing your swimwear, choose a breathable bag or container to keep it fresh and ready for your next adventure.

By making swimsuit care part of your summer routine, you’ll help your collection last longer, save money, and always look your best. Join the many women and men who love taking care of their swimwear because when you care for your suit, you’re investing in comfort, confidence, and the beauty of every beach day.
