The History of the Brazilian Bikini

Bikinis were invented in 1946 by Louis Reard. The United States shunned the bikini for over a decade, reasoning that any decent person would never wear such a thing. It was in 1957 when the United States finally adopted it. The big screen movies came next and the Bikini has been here to stay eversince.
The Brazilian Bikini is now being worn by celebrities on the big screen, changing people's perception of the more revealing swimwear. The revealing swimwear trend will continue for quite a while, as our culture opens itself more and more to the Brazilian way of sunbathing.

The cut of the Brazilian Bikini bottoms requires hair removal in places you might never have even considered before.
The Brazilian Bikini bottom has a signature cut of being very high on the hips. In the back, the three different bottoms are revealing.

The Brazilian Tops leave little to the imagination just like their bottoms. The Triangle top covers the breasts, shaped like a triangle, connected with strings that tie at the neck and back. The Halter top has the same shape, but it uses more fabric. It is basically worn by those with a larger bust to keep them from 'falling out'. The Bandeau is a slender tube top, which fastens in the middle of the back, with or without ties to the neck.
