V String Bikini
From LoveToKnow Swimsuits
If you fancy yourself a bit bold and daring, you may embrace the V string bikini style this summer. Chances are you'll find plenty of patterns and colors that delight you! It's just a matter of choosing the one you love and ensuring that you're confident enough to sport your V string without consternation.
About the V String Bikini
A V string bikini is one of many types of thongs. This style features two strings that form a "V" shape in the back area to resemble a triangle. At the point where the two strings separate (the top of the triangle, essentially), they connect to the waistband. The main feature of a V string is this open triangular area. This makes it differ slightly from a G string, which has a fabric back. The front of the bottom piece is often very low cut at the center point yet rides higher at the hips, thus forming a wide V.
You won't glean too much coverage from a V string bottom, but if you're comfortable wearing G strings you will likely be well acclimated to this style. Note that it does not offer very much coverage, but this is usually not a prime concern of beach-going bikini wearers anyway!
Shopping for V String Bottoms
You won't find as many V string bottoms as you will traditional bikini bottoms or even scoop bottoms. That said, they are out there, and with a bit of ingenuity and savvy shopping sense, you'll find the tiny string bikini of your dreams.
Your first order of business is to hit the swimsuit boutiques. There are many out there both in shopping malls and online. There are numerous Internet boutiques bursting with swimsuits galore, so it would be next to impossible not to find something appropriate for your unique taste. We've sorted through the jumble to select a few reliable retailers who offer reasonable selections of V strings. Take a peek and take your pick!
Look Swimwear
At Look Swimwear, you'll find a few bold V string bottoms. Search by bikini style or bottom style, and choose the cut you're after. In this case, you'll want to go with Open Minded or Tease. Open Minded boasts the traditional V string cut, with a glimpse of skin visible in the back. Tease is slightly subtler (but not by much!); it's made of mesh, so the skin peeks through the very sheer fabric. Opt for a complete bikini set or just the bottom if you prefer. You'll find both styles in numerous color options.
The-Bikini.com
Expect to raise a few brows if you opt for a swimsuit from The-Bikini.com. The company's slingshot peek-a-boo bikini leaves just about nothing to the imagination by revealing much more than it covers. Be warned that this style isn't at all for the timid, but it's just the thing if you're seeking the most revealing V string style out there.
Malibu Strings
Another choice that allows you to bare some flesh and show off your colorful style is at Malibu Strings. Their bold blue suit is a little bit playful with its bandana print and promises years of wear thanks to its durable tricot construction. If you really want to turn some heads, opt for the Malibu Sheer suit, a silk-like bikini that becomes even more transparent when damp and boasts a slight sheen.
If you're a fan of animal prints, you'll find the V string of your dreams in the Leopard Print Mesh Malibu Micro Bikini, a stellar little choice that is also available with a matching wrap to keep your lower half a bit more modest if you so desire.
Other Options
If you're intrigued by the idea of the V string bikini but don't necessarily feel you're confident enough to pull it off, you might want to start with a G string. This is hardly a baby step in the V string direction since the G string is considerably minimal itself, but it will give you a feel for the suit and allow you to get comfortable in the style before graduating to a swimsuit that offers even less coverage. Remember, it's all about comfort and confidence!
