A slingshot swimsuit, also known as a sling bikini or mankini for males, is a type of [[swimsuit]] that stretches from the crotch, separates to cover the nipples, up over the shoulders and across the back. It can be best described as a [[thong]] that goes over the shoulders, providing minimal coverage to the wearer. Such a swimsuit can be described a having a V-front, although swimsuits that seem to be like X-top bikinis from the front with no clear indication as a bikini otherwise from the side have been described here in Danbooru as also slingshots. 

A common gag is that the [[areola slip|straps fail to completely]] [[nipple slip|cover the nipples]].

While slingshot swimsuits are technically [[one-piece swimsuit|one-piece swimsuits]], they are considered to be in their own category and should not be tagged as one-piece swimsuits.
