A bikini is a two-piece swimsuit for women, typically comprising a bra-like top and a panty-like bottom; however, the bottom can also be in the style of a [[bikini skirt]] or [[bikini shorts]].

Bikinis come in a wide range of styles, with most designed to reveal more of the body, especially around the [[midriff]] and [[cleavage]].

The key distinguishing feature of a bikini is that it prominently exposes the [[midriff]], whereas other types of two-piece swimsuits may have a higher waistline and/or a top that extends further to cover the area. However, it's worth noting that most modern two-piece swimsuits are, in fact, bikinis.

If only the bra portion of the bikini is worn, use [[bikini top only]]. Likewise, use [[bikini bottom only]] when only the panty portion is worn. If a character's bikini top and bottom don't match, use [[mismatched bikini]].
