What is a Brazilian Bikini? The Definition

A Brazilian bikini is a bikini bottom with a distinctive cut that reveals more of your buttocks than a classic bikini bottom, but offers more coverage than a thong bikini. The Brazilian cut is characterized by:

• ✓ Moderate to high leg cut: Visually lengthens your legs
• ✓ Less back coverage: Shows approximately 50-70% of your buttocks
• ✓ Flattering V-shape: Accentuates your natural curves
• ✓ Fits between classic and thong: Perfect balance between sexy and comfortable
• ✓ Different waist heights: Available from low to high waist

The name, of course, comes from Brazil , where beach culture and bikinis are a key part of the lifestyle. Brazilian women are known for their confidence and love of flattering swimwear – and the Brazilian bikini is the perfect symbol of that!

Brazilian Bikini vs. Other Bikini Styles: The Difference

🩱 Brazilian Bikini vs. Classic Bikini Bottoms

• Classic: Full back coverage, lower leg cut, more fabric
• Brazilian: Less coverage at the back (50-70%), higher leg cut, more flattering
• When to choose? Brazilian for a sexy, modern look; classic for more coverage.

🩱 Brazilian Bikini vs. Thong Bikini

• String: Minimal coverage (80-90% naked), thin straps, very daring
