Bikinis String

A string bikini is swimwear held together by ties: thin strings that tie at the sides, neck and back instead of using fabric panels for the fit. “String” describes the construction, not the coverage — styles run from full to micro. This collection covers the string family across silhouettes, from about $20 to $56.

String Bikinis: Tie-Side, Triangle & Thong-String Styles

What Is a String Bikini?

A string bikini is swimwear held together by ties: thin strings or straps that tie at the sides, neck and back instead of using fabric panels for the fit. The ties are the structure — which is why string styles adjust so well, and why they pack so small for travel.

String describes the construction, not the coverage: string bikinis run from full-coverage bottoms to thong and micro cuts, depending on the style. The most common types are tie-side, triangle, Brazilian and thong-string — and string is not the same as micro, though the words often appear together.

String = a structure word. Coverage is a separate choice made by the cut.

String Styles in This Collection

The collection covers the string family across silhouettes:

Tie-side and tie-back bikinis — the classic string construction
Triangle and sliding-triangle tops with adjustable ties
Brazilian and thong-string bottoms for the minimal end
Halter styles where the neck strap does the holding
Padded versions of the string tops for added structure

Prices run from about $20 to $56, and sizes from XS to XL with a few one-size pieces.

Pick the tie style first (tie-side, triangle or halter), then the coverage.

String vs Thong: What’s Different?

String and thong describe different things, but the words blur in search: string describes the ties that hold a suit together, while thong describes a bottom’s back coverage. A “thong-string” bikini is simply a thong bottom built with string construction — the two ideas combine rather than compete.

The useful comparison is the other direction: string bikinis come in every coverage level, from full to micro, while thong styles are defined by the minimal back. If you want structure that adjusts, choose string; if you want minimal back coverage, choose a thong cut.

String = ties. Thong = back coverage. They combine, they don’t conflict.

Where String Styles Fit

String bikinis suit the classic summer contexts: beach days, resort pools, sunbathing and tanning, boat days and travel — the tie construction packs flat and the adjustable fit adapts to long days. Minimal tan lines are a bonus of the string family’s thinner straps.

Because some string styles are minimal, venue matters — what works on a resort beach may not suit a family pool. Check local rules when you’re unsure, and keep a cover-up handy.

String styles travel well and adjust easily — match the coverage to the place.

How to Choose a String Bikini

Work through four decisions:

Tie style: tie-side, tie-back, triangle or halter construction
Coverage: from cheeky and Brazilian to thong and micro
Structure: padded string tops for added support
Occasion: beach and travel suit them best

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

Tie style first, coverage second, structure third.

Frequently asked questions

What is considered a string bikini?

A string bikini is swimwear held together by thin strings or straps that tie at the sides, neck and back. The ties do the structural work instead of fabric panels, which makes string styles adjustable and easy to pack. Types include tie-side, triangle, Brazilian and thong-string.

What are the different types of string bikinis?

The main types are tie-side (straps tie at the hips), tie-back (straps tie at the back), triangle (a tied triangle top), halter (neck-strap construction) and thong-string (a thong bottom built with strings). Coverage runs from full to micro across all of them.

What is the difference between a string bikini and a thong?

String describes the ties that hold a suit together; thong describes a bottom’s back coverage. The words blur because “thong-string” styles combine both. A string bikini can have any coverage level, while a thong is defined by its minimal back — they describe different things.

Is a string bikini the same as a micro bikini?

No — string describes construction (ties hold the suit together), while micro describes coverage (very little fabric). A string bikini can be full-coverage or micro; the words appear together in “micro string” styles, but they describe different dimensions.

Is a string bikini swimwear or underwear?

Swimwear — the fabric and construction are made for water, with quick-dry materials and ties built for the beach. The shape overlaps with underwear styles, which is why search results can blur the two, but everything in this collection is swimwear.

Do string bikinis stay on?

It depends on how you tie them — that’s the trade-off of tie construction. Adjustable ties let you tune the fit, and padded styles add structure. Ties can loosen with movement, so re-tie before swimming rather than after.

Are string bikinis good for tanning?

Yes — thinner straps mean fewer tan lines, which is a common reason to choose them. The tie construction also adjusts for maximum sun exposure on the sides, and thong-string styles take that further on the back.

What sizes do string bikinis come in?

Styles in this collection range from XS to XL, with a few one-size pieces. Because string styles rely on ties rather than fabric, fit can vary — check the size chart on each product page before ordering.
