bikini bottoms
Lower swimsuit half
Bikini bottoms are the lower half of a two-piece swimsuit, covering the hips and groin.
The term distinguishes them from the top piece and from one-piece suits: I lost my bikini bottoms in the wave.
They come in various cuts—from high-waisted to thong styles.
Also sold separately as swimwear or underwear.
