Love it. Looking forward to part 2.

Males might be able go unnoticed as their bathing suits are far enough down that water distortions and shadows in a clear pool might obscure their nudity for a while. A girl wearing a bikini just losing just the bottoms might go unnoticed for a while, but not in a one piece. MORE!!!

I really liked the first part, bikini and swimming pool are a winning couple

Another enjoyable story, you're on a roll now! I particularly enjoyed the nervous anticipation of waiting to see if she could avoid exposure and who might see her.

I have a technical question, if you don't mind? I've been seeing use of the word 'bikini' to mean a one piece swimsuit or just any female swimsuit more and more in recent years. In the past I've corrected people but seeing it again here, is this now a thing or maybe I've just missed out on a particular style of swimsuit?

For me, leaving aside wetsuits and drysuits, the basic styles of female swimsuits are:

• One piece swimsuit - the standard, one piece, leotard type swimsuit.

• Bikini - a two piece suit that resembles bra and panties/knickers. There's also the bandeau bikini, where the the 'bra top' is replaced with more of a wraparound piece of material (a bandeau).

• Tankini - like a bikini but the 'bra top' is replaced with a tank top (vest type top), which can be of varying lengths.

The two styles for men are:

• Swimming trunks/swim trunks/swimming briefs - looks like men's 'briefs' underwear. In the US, particularly small examples are often referred to as a speedo, after the classic sports brand with which they're synonymous.

• Swimming shorts/swim shorts - basically a pair of shorts made out of swimuit material, usually with netting built in to act as underwear and often with pockets.

Apologies if this seems like an odd question but it's something I've encountered more than you might expect and now seeing it on this board, I thought I'd ask.

A bikini is definitely a two piece. The clue is in the name...'bi' equals two, as in bifocal, bisexual and so on. Bicycle...two wheels.

While bikini definitely means two piece, it has been evolved to also refer to women’s bathing suits. Similar to how lingerie just referred to women’s underwear and now has evolved to mean moreso sexy underwear. I think also non-English speakers may also refer to a woman’s swimsuit as a bikini because the translation of two piece doesn’t necessarily carry over.

The problem is that the term "monokini" never caught on.

[Revengedpirate]

Loving the swim suit diversions lol I would’ve thought also bikini still refers to a two piece, again with Debbifan, as bi definitely means a pair, two or double.

But also wouldn’t a monokini be a mankini as this is usually a one piece stretched around. You would have briefs which are just bottoms which describes trunks and underwear. Clothing would start to get very complicated if we started breaking down every acronym based to clothing as each has different meaning in several languages
