Brazilian Bikinis

What Are Brazilian Bikinis?

A Brazilian bikini bottom carries the Brazilian cut: the back panel runs narrower than a cheeky cut, and the leg line sits higher on the hip. The cut takes its name from Brazil's beach culture, where small-coverage, high-leg bottoms are the standard — Brazilian describes the style of cut, not where a piece was made.

This collection gathers 672 styles carrying or tagged with that cut, and the pool is a directory-level tag — Brazilian-cut sets across the catalog, with cheeky and thong cuts sitting in the same pool. Prices run from about $17 to $40.

The Brazilian Cut, Defined

The Brazilian cut combines two features, and each does part of the look:

• The narrowed back panel — less back fabric than cheeky; the panel narrows toward the middle of the back.
• The elevated leg line — the leg opening rises higher on the hip than a straight cut.
• The Y or V back shape — many Brazilian cuts shape the back panel into a Y or V line; this is a construction detail visible in the photos.

The definition matters because Brazilian sits between cheeky and thong — narrower back and higher leg than cheeky, more back fabric than a thong.

Brazilian vs Cheeky vs Thong

Three coverage words sit on one spectrum, and the boundaries are the part guides disagree on — this store's rule is simple:

• Cheeky — wider back panel, covers part of the cheek; any leg line.
• Brazilian — narrower panel plus a higher leg line; less back coverage than cheeky.
• Thong — the back narrows to a thin band; the minimal end.

If the back panel is noticeably narrow and the leg opening runs high, the cut reads Brazilian — the photos show both features together.

The Styles in This Collection

The Brazilian pool is wide, and the honest read helps:

• High-leg and narrow-back sets — the true Brazilian cut styles in the pool.
• Neighbors in the same pool — cheeky and thong cuts carry the tag too; the photos decide each piece.
• Top styles — halter, push-up, bandeau and string tops pair across the pool.
• Price range — $17 to $40.

Treat this as the store's narrow-back catalog — the photos show which pieces carry the full Brazilian cut.

Choosing a Brazilian Bikini

Work through four decisions:

• Cut: true Brazilian (narrow + high leg) or Brazilian-leaning cheeky — read the photos
• Leg line: how high the opening rises — the second half of the cut
• Rise: low or high waist — separate from the cut
• Top: halter, push-up, bandeau or string
