I want to dispel a few myths about Brazilian bikinis.

Firstly, Brazilian bikinis are not all super small, itsy bitsy teeny weeny tiny bikinis. It seems to be a common misconception that a Brazilian bikini is one very small step away from being completely nude.

Yes, there is definitely a trend towards, as well as growing acceptance of, more minimal coverage swimwear on Australian beaches. Micro bikinis, super micro bikinis, mini bikinis and thongs are just a few of the options available to women subscribing to the motto of "less is more". The likes of the micro bikini only provides the barest coverage - pun intended, and is certainly not the norm on the beaches in Brazil. However it would appear that the term "Brazilian bikini" is being used to collectively describe any bikini style that falls along the swimwear spectrum between the extreme of being absolutely naked and somewhere in the middle of the spectrum where swimwear is a little more conservative and resembling that of men's Speedos.

Perhaps it is the growing popularity of the Brazilian bikini wax that is to blame. In beauty circles, the term ...
... "Brazilian bikini wax" has been shortened to become "a Brazilian bikini" or simply "a Brazilian". It may be that there is an association with the amount of hair remaining after a Brazilian wax and the corresponding amount of coverage afforded by a typical Brazilian bikini.

It is certainly not the case that Brazilian bikinis are so revealing, nor is it accurate to say that a micro or mini is an example of a Brazilian bikini.

First and foremost, a Brazilian bikini is a bikini from Brazil, or if not made in Brazil, its design originates from Brazil.

In Brazil, despite popular belief, public nudity is frowned up. In the west we are conditioned with images of Brazil where people dance and party in the street wearing little more than body paint and feathers. This might be true in the Sambadrome during the week of Carnival, but the reality on the beach is you can be arrested and charged for bathing topless in Brazil. The law is not often tested because it is also not publicly accepted to go topless. The Brazilians do however like to exude sex appeal and recognise the superior seductive power of fashion over nudity.

Pushing the envelope of what is sexy while remaining tasteful, and most certainly clothed to some degree at least, the Brazilians have developed their now renowned style - the Brazilian Cut.

The Brazilian Cut bikini is characterised by cutting across the buttocks rather than under it. This obviously requires less material and consequently results in a smaller, skimpier bikini.

In contrast, micros, minis and some of the other more revealing modern creations have extended this concept of making the bikini smaller to the front of the bikini, often covering only the barest essentials. Indeed a Brazilian bikini wax would be needed to wear most of these bikinis.

Secondly, Brazilian bikinis are not exclusively for super skinny, itsy bitsy teeny weeny tiny girls.

In fact ninety percent of the time when women with beautiful curvaceous figures come up to me and admire my swimwear designs they will predictably have one of the following excuses as to why they couldn't wear one:

"Once upon a time I could have worn this";
"When I lose another 5kg I'll come back and try one on";
"It's fine for Brazilian women, they are all beautiful";
"Have you seen the size of my bum"; or
"I'll have to have a Brazilian wax to wear it".

The other ten percent of the time, their peers with the same body shape, same age and same size bottom come up and say, "Wow, genuine Brazilian bikinis, I bought one of these years ago overseas and I just loved it but I haven't been able to find one since!"

Apparently only about ten percent of women have experienced the flattering look of Brazilian bikinis. They know Brazilian bikinis don't discriminate against any particular body shape. But these women are keeping this secret to themselves because they are enjoying the attention of admiring men and envious women they know is waiting for them on the beach.

The Brazilian bikini is not close to nudity, nor is not a new concept. Brazilian women have been flaunting their feminine beauty in them for the last three decades. They have caught on in Europe and now the more worldly and well travelled Australian women, together with Brazilian themselves, are bringing them to our own shores.
A great place to find special offers for womens swimwear is the Brazilian bikini website of Praia Bela. Look at the discounts offered by joining Club Amigas.
