A swimsuit noted in-universe for its extreme brevity. While Moral Guardians have been complaining about swimsuits showing too much skin as long as there have been swimsuits, this trope really took off after the introduction of the bikini. To qualify, a swimsuit must be described or reacted to in terms of how small it is, or how much it shows. For example, if the text claims it's "two postage stamps and some dental floss", or onlookers are shown having their eyes bug out. Sometimes, it can subverted by the female character wearing less common designs such as a sling bikini which technically speaking has more material than a string bikini, but is actually much more revealing on the person when actually worn using the Theiss Titillation Theory. The swimsuit does not actually need to be worn for this trope — displaying it to someone who sarcastically quips, "Where's the rest of it" or (if it's a family sitcom) declares "No daughter of mine is wearing that!" qualifies. Note that this trope is not any swimsuit which the audience thinks is unusually small; it must be reacted to as such within the story. A likely candidate to become a Slippery Swimsuit. Compare Thong of Shielding. Contrast with the Old-Timey Bathing Suit or the School Swimsuit. Warning: Most of the image links below are Not Safe for Work. |

One episode of The Jetsons has Jane hold up a skirted backless one-piece and complain that it's been stretched all out of shape, and George comment that it's practically a tent. The suit is about as long as her hand, and she says that the glamour shop downstairs might have some Saturn bikinis: some rings in just the right places. | |

In Mazinkaiser, Lori and Roll wear a one piece that can be described as "two postage stamps and some dental floss." Of course, it's a Go Nagai series, so what's to be expected of it? Unsurprisingly, Kouji (and his little brother, Shiro) are head-over-heels gaa-gaa over it and Sayaka is none too pleased. | |

Kasumi's skimpy bikini in the Ranma ½ anime Beach Episode "Battle for Miss Beachside" comes as a shock to her sister Akane, as this isn't what you'd expect from a Yamato Nadeshiko like Kasumi. It still isn't as small as the one worn by Kodachi,◊ however, to her brother's desperation. | |

Bleach: In the Beach Episode based on the manga omakes, the women are shopping for swimwear and Isane is mourning the fact all the cute costumes are for shorter women. Her sister Kiyone finds her a swimsuit that she can wear, the catch being that it's entirely too revealing and skimpy for Isane to even contemplate wearing it. Her captain, Unohana, intervenes and takes Kiyone's side, further shocking Isane. Then she reveals the swimming costume she's going to wear... and even Kiyone's jaw hits the floor. Only Isane's and Unohana's swimwear are commented on in-universe. | |

The Amazing Bathing Suit from Rune Factory Frontier is described as using far less material than the Cute Bathing Suit, which is essentially a bikini. You don't ever get to see it in-game, since it is kept in gift wrap and any girl you give it to will confess that it is too revealing to wear, but it happens to be the innkeeper Turner's favourite item to receive. He will then comment on how he would attempt to get his wife Rita to wear it. | |

A Certain Magical Index: In episode 15, Touma's mother wears incredibly scant swimwear, much to his horror and his father's delight. Especially since Touma's seeing her as Index. In the beach / pool episode of A Certain Scientific Railgun, Kuroko chooses one of these◊ out for herself. She lacks the typical voluptuous body-type usually seen with this trope, although Rule 34 was quick to pick it up and run with it all the same. In the Railgun SS novel, Xochitl asks Saten to get her a swimsuit. Saten gives her one◊ that greatly embarrasses Xochitl with how revealing it is. In New Testament Vol. 8, Lessar asks Touma which swimsuit she should buy, the one that is just a bunch of wires in the shape of a bikini or the one-piece that turns transparent when wet. Touma gets flustered but tells her to wear one over the other. The combination makes it look modest. |

Dragon Quest III had the original Revealing Swimsuit (and its more powerful counterpart, the Magic Bikini), which had upgraded versions with better stats added in the remakes. It was the original Dangerous Bikini in the DQ series, and even changed the sprites of your female party to have them walking around clad in just the swimsuit. | |

Although it is never seen, during a scene in Doogie Howser, M.D., various characters are offering bribes to the young doctor to be the one he takes on a prize vacation he is going to win. A female character cannot offer to take his shift at the hospital, but she holds up a very small bag and says "I have a bikini which fits in here." | |

The Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann series has an interesting inversion, when the other cast members note that Yoko's swimsuit is less revealing than her normal outfit. Kittan even yells at her that the more skin she shows, the better; he gets her sniper rifle's barrel in his face for his trouble. A few seconds later, every single male in sight gets a nosebleed from resident Kawaiiko Nia's conservative one-piece, despite her being barely into her teens and not much of a body to show off. Kittan immediately remarks, "Truly, it is better to conceal than to reveal." Cue Cross-Popping Veins from Yoko. | |

Doonesbury: An early strip involving an islander "volcano virgin" and her overprotective father plays with the trope: apparently he doesn't mind his daughter sacrificing herself to the volcano, as long as she does it in sensible clothing. A somewhat later strip (reprinted 6/6/17) has actress Boopsie mistake the bikini she's supposed to wear for a movie for dental floss. |

In Spike TV's Manswers, they answer the question of just how tiny a bikini can be before it becomes an issue of indecent exposure. (For women, both nipples and the entire labia of the crotch must be covered. Which means that, if you interpret that to the letter, this can result in some very dinky swimwear indeed.) | |

In the Discworld, swimwear for women, very firmly and emphatically, is the Old-Timey Bathing Suit. But Assassins' Guild School teacher Miss Alice Band has seen what swimming costumes are like on the Roundworld (Earth), and loves them. However, Discworld standards of public decency mean that even the modest one-piece costume she wants schoolgirls at the Guild School to adopt — on the grounds of practicality — is viewed with horror as Barely-There Swimwear. Alice, who sees nothing wrong with the mizugi as it is known on Earth, is quietly furious about this. note She rebels, when out in the wilds with a trekking party, by encouraging the girls to go Skinny Dipping when they can; being trainee Assassins, Outdoor Bath Peeping is guarded against and painfully discouraged. More in the works of A.A. Pessimal. | |

WWE loved to pull this off during bikini contests. If the contest was on PPV, you were surely going to get something like this. Examples: Jacqueline was convinced it was impossible for her to lose a bikini to anyone. Cue Sable's bikini at Fully Loaded 1998, which was a bikini bottom and hands painted on her breasts. The Kat at Royal Rumble 2000 had a bikini made of bubble wrap. Ashley Massaro at No Way Out 2007 showed up in a bikini with two tiny Playboy bunnies on her breasts. Torrie Wilson invoked this at Judgment Day 2003 in a contest against Sable. At first she showed up in a normal bikini. When the audience wasn't sure if she was the winner, she removed that bikini to reveal what looked like two strips of dental floss. Naturally she won. |

In episode 40 of the anime adaptation of Black Clover, Noelle is purchasing swimsuit. Klaus, who entered the store having heard Noelle scream, asks what she and Vanessa were doing there. Vanessa states that they were looking for a swimsuit for Noelle, lamenting some that she had offered one of her own swimsuits to Noelle. Along with a shot of what it looked like, Noelle exclaims that it was just strings. | |

While it doesn't change the character sprites of whoever wears it, it can only be equipped by the Player Character's Wife (Nera, Bianca, or Debora), indicating that the Player Character won't let his daughter try to wear it. | |

In Chapter 27 of Omamori Himari, Shizuku of all people is wearing an extremely skimpy bikini (this also answers the age-old question just how these sling bikinis look like from the backside). | |

In Buso Renkin, Papillon's swimwear is a black mankini a bit sleeker than the famous lime-green one in Borat that draws this reaction from bystanders as it is less concealing than the normal Speedo, since it leaves virtually his whole ass hanging out, other than one narrow strip, with no side coverage whatever. In some other non-beach scenes, he wears a particularly skimpy pair of Speedos that usually covers much more. | |

Mentioned in the last two scenes of Wraith Squadron, when the survivors are enjoying themselves at the beach and the uniform for the day is bathing suits that might generously be called minimal. In the last scene, Commander Wedge Antilles is asked why he's still fully dressed and working, not out in a scrap like his squadron, and says that he'd make them uncomfortable. | |

Bravely Default has the Bravo Bikini, an article of clothing Sage Yulyana has unsuccessfully tried to get girls to wear. Agnes even wonders aloud if it is counts as clothing when she sees it for the first time, and ultimately doesn't have the courage to don it for a fashion contest. Edea takes a shine to it and uses it in a sidequest later in the game. (It can also be unlocked as an optional outfit!) MoreAdmittedly the visual portrayal of the Bravo was somewhat bowdlerised for the international version of the game, but the reactions of the characters remains. | |

One of the bikinis they show her is made only of several thin strips of cloth, causing her to loudly protest, "That's just a bunch of strings!" It's not clear how one would even put on such a suit... | |

At their suggestion, Mike decides to try the next size up... and walks off holding a Speedo that looks like it was made for a Ken doll. | |

Done alarmingly frequently in Archie Comics, considering that it's supposed to be for kids. Artist Dan DeCarlo was an unrivaled master of Fanservice, so there are frequent shots of Veronica being indecent at the beach.

Borat ends with the very hairy male lead in the famous lime green mankini. It actually covers about as much total skin as bikini/Speedo briefs, but it still manages to look perverted as hell by uncovering skin between leg and torso, including much of the buttocks. A reporter discovered that wearing it on public beaches can get you charged with breaking public decency laws — despite technically showing no more skin than other men on the beach. | |

In So, I Can't Play H!'s OVA, the school holds a swimsuit contest. Quele tries to coax the shy Mina into participating and makes her try several swimsuits to show her she has nothing to be ashamed of. They are all so skimpy that Mina gets very uncomfortable, and the last one makes her shriek and cover her privates with her hands. | |

In My Father the Hero, there's a scene where the father meets up with his daughter poolside with her in a white one-piece swimsuit. Imagine his surprise when she gets up and it's revealed to be a thong bottom.... In one version, a much more modest suit is digitally superimposed, which makes the entire scene farcical as the father character overreacts to a perfectly normal swimsuit. | |

In Freezing, Attia convinces Satellizer to put on a one-piece that looks like a bunch of white straps. She reluctantly agrees, and the boys go wild. They go even wilder when Attia's prank is revealed: the suit's material turns transparent in bright light. She essentially has a Naked Freak-Out. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island: Lindsay's costume for her talent show act (a ballroom dance with Justin) is a repurposed "barely legal" bikini converted to a dance costume by adding sequins. During the trust-building challenge, Lindsay shows off a new bikini with a reasonably modest top but a "barely legal" bottom. |

In the short-lived Tony Randall/Swoozie Kurtz sitcom Love, Sidney, Kurtz is talking about a trip she and her five-year-old daughter Patti are going on. She shows Randall an extremely tiny bikini bottom, he says, "That's indecent!" She replies, "It's for Patti!" | |

In Piggy (2022), protagonist Sara's already skimpy string bikini looks even skimpier on someone of her weight as Alpha Bitch Maca cruelly points out. And she has to walk home wearing it and nothing else because Maca and her friends steal Sara's clothes. | |

Kengan Ashura has an omake strip where Kaede, Kokomi and Rino are shopping for swimsuits, and the latter two pick swim wears that are barely more than a few pieces of threads that probably won't cover up anything, to Kaede's horror. | |

The Dragon Quest series has a number of swimsuits that are positively scandalous, and are appropriately labeled with names like "Dangerous Bikini". They are even sometimes discussed by the NPCs, with some girls slightly hesitant to don it and others all too happy to flaunt themselves in it, and the men very eager to see the cute girls strut their stuff in it. For the purposes of fanservice a number of these swimsuits can be worn by female party members, changing their sprite to reflect them wearing the Dangerous Bikini. Dragon Quest III had the original Revealing Swimsuit (and its more powerful counterpart, the Magic Bikini), which had upgraded versions with better stats added in the remakes. It was the original Dangerous Bikini in the DQ series, and even changed the sprites of your female party to have them walking around clad in just the swimsuit. Dragon Quest V has the female-only Robust Lingerie that can only be discovered in the third arc. While it doesn't change the character sprites of whoever wears it, it can only be equipped by the Player Character's Wife (Nera, Bianca, or Debora), indicating that the Player Character won't let his daughter try to wear it. In particular, one of your party members will happily comment about Jessica's good looks inside one of the menus if she wears the Dangerous Swimsuit equivalent in Dragon Quest VIII, and has similar remarks for other such fanservice clothing. In Dragon Quest IX all female party members are able to wear the Dangerous Bikini, including the player character if you choose to play a female protagonist. Coupled with the full-on Virtual Paper Doll in effect, this can result in the Bathos of your player participating in serious cutscenes and running around in cold climates while wearing naught but a Dangerous Bikini. Dragon Quest XI brings their own variant of the Revealing Swimsuit (and its upgrades via Item Crafting), with resident Ms. Fanservice Jade being the lady to show it off on. In fine Dragon Quest tradition, when worn, it changes her character model to reflect her wearing it. |

Girlfriend, Girlfriend: While shopping out for swimsuits for a beach trip to Okinawa, the girls allow Naoya to pick for them. While Shino tries to pick a relatively modest one, Saki steps up and says that "iron-boards need to wear microbikinis". Shino complains that it almost covers nothing, which Saki retorts that's the point, earning her a chop to the head. In the end, she picks a blue bikini that Naoya chose for her. | |

Played straight, played for laughs and discussed in Vanas Heritage. While Northeners skinny dip without shame, the Eldamirians don´t. When confronted with naked Northeners, the ambassador from Eldamir demanded that schools where eldamirian students are present should employ mandatory swimwear. The Northeners complied by introducing barely-there swimwear, which barely covers anything. | |
