String Thong Bikini

What Is a String Thong Bikini?

A string thong bikini combines two words that name two different parts: string describes the construction — thin ties hold the piece together — and thong describes the bottom's back shape, which narrows to a wedge. Put together, it is a tie-built bikini with a thong back.

The combination is common: triangle tops tie at the neck and back, and the bottom ties at the sides over a thong back. The same formula also shows up on one-piece string thongs and monokinis.

String is how it ties; thong is how the back looks.

Reading the Combo Word

Because string and thong sit on different axes, the combo reads clearly once you separate them:

• The top — string construction: ties at the neck and back, often triangle or halter.
• The bottom back — thong: fabric narrows to a wedge; sides can tie or be fabric.
• The garment — usually a two-piece set, with one-piece string thong variants too.

A plain thong bikini can have fabric sides and a non-tie top; a string bikini can have a cheeky or fuller bottom. String thong is the specific overlap: ties plus a thong back.

Ties plus a wedge back is the whole definition.

Pick the top first, then the back.

Wearing and Fit

Both halves of the name do fitting work: the top's ties set how the cups sit, and the bottom's ties and back elastic set how the thong holds. Ties loosen in the water — retie after a swim and check the knots sit flat.

A thong back is minimal by design, so the coverage is exactly what the photos show. If you are new to the cut, size up for a wider wedge; if you want the narrowest line, a g-string sits one rung below.

Retie after the swim; expect by the photos.

How to Choose

Work through four decisions:

• Garment: bikini set or one-piece string thong
• Top: triangle, halter or backless
• Back: full thong or g-string line
• Detail: sheer, mesh, lace or patent

Sizes run XS to XL with some one-size pieces — check each listing’s chart.

Garment first, top second, back third.
