I don’t see why anyone would wear a see-trough bikini. The idea of swimwear is to cover the genitals and if you want the breasts. If a bikini does not fill this function why wear it at all?

I'd guess that's because in many jurisdictions the law says that certain parts of a woman's body must be covered, but doesn't say that they be concealed. A see through bikini lets a woman show off everything without violating the law. JDZeff ( talk) 19:02, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
All of the images on this page are of young, skinny, white women. These are not the only people who wear bikinis or their variants. --Anon 5/14/2011 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.21.199.66 ( talk) 18:11, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I have replaced the mix of horizontal/vertical images with horizontal images, and checked the article on three different sized screens. Now there's little chance of one image shoving another downwards. Is there a reason to revert that? Aditya( talk • contribs) 04:19, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
File:Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder crop.jpg and File:Wicked Weasel white mesh bikini.jpg look promising. Aditya( talk • contribs) 04:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
This encyclopaedia is viewed by people of all ages and I think that a few of the images are fairly inappropriate. Wouldn't it be sufficient to have a cartoon image showing the design without the exposed genitalia?

Image of "string bikini" shows normal bikini bottom, not a string bikini.
Image of "monokini" shows topless woman. If she wears only bottom it doesn't mean it calls monokini.
Can someone replace those images please.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 3 external links on
Bikini variants. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

How are sling swimsuits either more revealing or as revealing as bikinis? This doesn't make sense. In this article, it appears that sling swimsuits are less revealing:
