bikinis
Skimpy beach attire
Bikinis is the plural of bikini, a two-piece swimsuit for women consisting of a bra-like top and brief bottoms.
The garment takes its name from Bikini Atoll, where atomic bomb tests occurred in 1946—the year the swimsuit debuted, marketed as explosively daring.
She packed three bikinis for the beach trip.
A bikini wax removes pubic hair that would show beyond the swimsuit's edges.
