Detail we missed with viral G-string bikini. Picture: Facebook Source:Facebook. Her choice in barely-there outfit sparked such controversy, photos of the white G-string swimmers — which consisted of two minuscule strips of fabric across her nipples and the same across her vagina — were shared online, alerting police who swooped in and slapped her with a fine. A Taiwanese found herself in hot water when she wore this tiny bikini to a beach in the Philippines, offending the locals.
The bikini has spawned many stylistic variations. A regular bikini is a two-piece swimsuit that together covers a female's crotch , buttocks , and breasts. Some bikini designs cover larger portions of the wearer's body while other designs provide minimal coverage. Topless variants are still sometimes considered bikinis, although they are technically not a two-piece swimsuit. While the name bikini was applied to the skimpy fashion that first revealed the wearer's navel, the fashion industry considers any two-piece swimsuit a bikini.
Welcome to Bali, where the latest hot topic happens to revolve around what one ought to wear or not wear during a visit to the supermarket. After a photo of one tourist wearing a skimpy bikini inside a supermarket went viral and sparked a debate on social media recently, authorities have now weighed in on the matter as well. It all started about a week ago, when a user shared a photo of an unidentified woman lining up for the cashier at a supermarket in Umalas, North Kuta on a public Facebook group. It sounds like a mundane enough activity, alright, but the fact that the woman was only wearing a G-string bikini and string top was what prompted a lot of commentaries.
