The bikini is by far the sexiest and riskiest swimwear available on the market. The bikini first appeared in 1946. It was developed by a French man. Both the tops and the bottoms have gotten sexier and much smaller over the many years since. For example, many of the bottoms out there today cover the crotch area, but covering the buttocks is optional. The thong bikini bottom is no surprise at any swim area around the world. Other options for the bottom include the G-string, briefs, or modest cut shorts. As the amount of material a bikini has gets smaller, the cost continues to increase. I find this to be a very comical piece of information. Bikinis were very controversial in the United States during the 1950s. They were banned from the Miss World Contest in 1951. The movie industry took a few risks with the bikini during that era. Bridgette Bardot wore a Bikini in And God Created Woman. In 1960, a popular song called "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" hit the charts. The song portrays a young lady who is self conscious in her bikini. She is afraid to go into the water, and then too embarrassed to come back out. During this period, bikinis were starting to emerge. The movie Beach Party came out in 1963, leading to an all out bikini craze. There are several variations of the bikini, all inspired to make women feel more comfortable with their bodies in swimwear. The tankini is a tank top with a bikini bottom. A string bikini is a very small bikini held up with strings, created for beautiful women to draw even more attention to their bodies than the traditional bikini. The sales for bikinis skyrockets when manufacturers began marketing the top and the bottom as separate pieces for sale. This allows women to mix and match to find both pieces that fit well. In the past, either the top or the bottom may have fit well but not both. Since it was sold as a two piece set, the purchase was not made. The sex appeal of the bikini created by the media and then accepted by society has continued to grow since its inception. If you are in the market for new swimwear, there are numerous types of bikinis available for all body types. Have a great time finding what makes you feel sexy!
