Brazilian Tanga
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
The Brazilian tanga bathing suit makes a bold fashion statement wherever this sexy swimsuit is worn.
About Tangas
The Cut
A tanga is similar to a G-string. The Brazilian tanga refers to a style of bathing suit that is very skimpy. The bottom of the suit is thong style and exposes the full buttocks.
The front of the suit bottom is often cut very low and the waistline is cut high near the navel. This high waistline helps distinguish the tanga from a thong or G-string bathing suit, but that is not the only distinguishing feature. The backside of a tanga has a more generous cut than a thong or G-string, but it still reveals about a half-moon of cheek beyond the fabric's edge.
Waxing
The Brazilian tanga leaves very little to the imagination, so it's necessary to do some extra grooming if you want to look good wearing one. The much talked about Brazilian wax is a must. Brazilian bikini waxes remove all the hair from a woman or man's pubic area. They were supposedly introduced to the United States by two Brazilian sisters in the late 1980s.
Since that time, these waxes have become very popular among socialites, celebrities, and wanna-bes. Plus, they are practically a requirement for women who want to wear very little clothing on the beach. The Brazilian tanga swimsuit capitalizes on this trend and completes the package. What better way to show off your Brazilian wax than in a Brazilian tanga.

How to Wear A Tanga
If you are brave enough to wear a tanga, here are some helpful tips:
- Consult local law: Before you wear your tanga, make sure you won't be breaking any laws. Some areas have outlawed them claiming they are akin to indecent exposure. Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina do not allow them.
- Groom: Good hygiene and fitness are key to pulling off a revealing bathing suit with style. These swimsuits expose quite a bit, so you will want to look our best.
- Use sunscreen: The sun's rays can be very dangerous, and no part of your body is immune to melanoma.
- Bring a cover up: You never know when you might want to add an item of clothing. Bright sun, cool ocean breezes or spotting your boss on the beach are all good reasons to add a layer or two.
