History of G-String Bikinis

Although it may strike you as a relatively new phenomenon, G-string bikinis have been around for over 75,000 years. First worn by the tribal peoples of Africa, they were also seen on the Japanese about 2,000 years ago. Obviously, this type of beachwear has been around for a very long time.

It may be surprising to note that G-string bikinis were originally fashioned for males, not females. However, all of that changed in the 1970’s when Brazilian beauties began wearing them on the beach. Since that time, G-string bikinis have become almost iconic in their sex appeal.

Reasons To Wear

First, let’s compare a G-string bikini to a thong. The difference is very simple; a G-string bikini has much less material than a thong, and gives an alluring string-like appearance.

Moreover, you should choose this type of swimwear if:

  • You are extremely confident with your figure. This point cannot be over-emphasized since these are some of the skimpiest bikinis out there.
  • You are comfortable with attention. If being in the limelight is something you welcome, then go for it. These bikinis are not for the faint of heart, and being extremely comfortable with both your body and the attention wearing one will garner is of the utmost importance.
  • You have always wondered what it would be like to have an overall tan with almost no tan lines. This type of beachwear is perfect for the serious tanner. There isn't very much fabric, so your goal of achieving a lovely overall tan may be well within your reach.

Covering Up

Investing in a fashionable coverup is a great idea when wearing G-string bikinis. Whether pool side or on the beach, you’ll take comfort in knowing that you can control the amount of attention you receive.

Different Types of Coverups
Type of Coverup Benefits
SarongsSarongs are terrific because they come in a variety of colors, and although they cover you they still feel very feminine. Moreover, with so many different sarong styles out there, from ruffles to prints to sheers, you’ll be able to find the perfect one for you.
Tanks or ShirtsOften, when people think of a beach coverup they think strictly of covering the bottom half, but it’s not always necessarily so. Sometimes, one prefers just to cover up the top half, and this is where a tank top or a shirt comes in handy. There are many, many styles to choose from in this category, but some of the most popular ones are:
  • Crochet Tank Tops
  • Decorated Tanks
  • Mesh Tees
  • V-Neck Shirts
ShortsOf course, if covering up your bottom half is your goal, then consider a pair of shorts as your perfect solution. Remember, shorts can still look cute and sexy, especially those that are form-fitting. Try a cute pair of boy shorts to round out your look.
Skirts and WrapsWhen all else fails, think about investing in a skirt or a wrap. Skirts can be a good choice, especially if you’d like to grab a bite to eat or a drink after a fun day at the beach. Skirts, whether flirty and swingy, or sexy and body-hugging will successfully allow you to do just that.

On the other hand, if wraps are more your speed then know that you have a wide variety at your disposal. Some prefer the wrap to a sarong because wraps tend to be more sheer.
