MINIMAL COVERAGE

Our minimal-coverage bikini bottoms are designed to show more skin and offer a bold, barely-there look. The fit is intentionally skimpy yet secure. This includes Brazilian bikinis, thong bottoms, tunnel bottoms, string bikinis, and other micro bikini styles. Grab these for a revealing fit and minimal tan lines.

Our moderate-coverage bottoms use more fabric through the seat to cover more of the backside and hips while still showing some curves. They often feel more secure when swimming, walking, or on active beach days. If you want something between skimpy and modest that also offers long-wear comfort, moderate-coverage bottoms are perfect for you.

Thong bottoms, tunnel bottoms, Brazilian bottoms, string bottoms, and cheeky bikinis are some of WET Swim’s most low-coverage micro bikinis. 

Among these:

• Thong bikinis offer the least coverage in the back for an ultra-minimal look.
• Tunnel bottoms bring a similarly barely-there feel, with adjustable coverage that you can scrunch narrower or spread out slightly.
• Brazilian cuts offer slightly more coverage but still keep the look skimpy. 
• String and side-tie bottoms also feel very minimal because the sides are just thin straps that leave the hips fully exposed, with little fabric to hold everything in place. 
• Cheeky bottoms show more of the bum than a classic brief, so you get the minimal look in a slightly more familiar silhouette.

Minimal-coverage bikini bottoms can be paired with any bikini top, but the best match depends on the look you want:

• For a Fully Barely-There Set: Pair thong bikinis, Brazilian bikinis, string bottoms, or side-tie bottoms with minimal-coverage micro bikini tops like triangle, bandeau, or halter styles. These mirror the sultriness and create minimal tan lines.
• For a Balanced Look: Choose moderate-coverage tops like classic bralettes, halters, underwire tops, or balconettes that offset the skimpy bottoms and add a little more coverage and structure where you want it. 
• For Contrast: Go with higher-coverage options like longline bralettes or halter tops that draw the eye upward and add a touch of sophistication to an otherwise daring look.
