There is nothig cooler than a really well designed triangle top bikini. They are perfect for accentuating your breasts without being too risque. Women who like the look of sexier bikinis, but want something with more coverage than a micro bikini often like the triangle top bikinis.
So, what exactly is a triangle top bikini?
It's basically what it sounds like. The top has the shape of triangles. They are thinner at the peak and wider at the bottom. It really accentuates your bustline and makes your breasts look really hot. They don't have thong bottoms. The bottoms are more traditional. Here is an example of the back of a triangle bikini bottom. They have nice coverage but are not saggy or bunched.
Most triangle bikinis have string ties.
Triangle Bikinis are gaining in popularity so you can find them at lots of places. Here are some of my favoriate designs.
This is a hot design. It has a nice cut to the top, and it provides enough coverage to be modest, while also being sexy.
You can find it both of the bikinis shown below at Anthropologie. They make really hot and stylish bikinis. They are a nice curated designer store.
I like the pattern on this one. It has a really sexy look to it.
Are you planning on wearing a thong at the beach? A bikini?
If you are, you'll want to get your butt into awesome shape. You want to get the hot bubble butt that makes a bikini look awesome.
There are lots of scams online that claim to be able to let you lose weight fast, get sick pack abs, or the perfect body in 7 days. Well, it's a scam. You can't do any of these things in a week.
But you can most definitely improve your butt over a few weeks or a month or so. It is something that takes a little time every few days. But it is really, really worth it.
How fast and how much of an improvement you see depends on a bunch of things.
Are you petite? Or are you curvy. It all depends on what you have to work with. If you have a flat but, then what you're going to be doing is building muscle, or building a butt. If you have a butt already, but its not lifted and shapely like a nice apple, then what you will be doing is toning.
Toning and building muscle are two different things. So if you are really petite and have no butt so to speak, you are going to want to build a butt. That means doing a bit of a different routine than one for women who have a butt that they are looking to firm up.
Toning Up Your Butt
Toning up your butt is going to require you to do lots of toning exercises. Surprise Surprise.
You're going to want to do lots of reps, not alot of weight. You can add some weight, but for toning purposes you don't want to do heavy squats with a barbell like people looking to build up their glutes.
You want to tighten up your glutes, not add to them.
You might not even have to add weights. Some women have good results doing non weighted exercises like kickbacks, squats, and lunges. So let's take a look at the most popular exercises to get your butt tight and toned up.
Exercises for your Butt without Weights
Kickbacks
I actually like kickbacks the best. Most articles about getting a better butt focus too much on squats and lunges. They are both good and I woudl recommend using them, but kickbacks are my absolute favorite butt exercise. Why?
Because they are the best way to isolate the glutes. Alot of people have problems when they do squats because they will often feel most of the push in their thighs. It takes a bit of practice to get a squat posture down right and even then, you will spread the effort between the thighs and the but.
But you don't want bigger thighs, right? No. You want a toned up butt.
That's why the kickback is so cool. It is hard to not hit the glutes when doing a kickback. They are the number one muscle being used. Here is a great video showing you how to do a kickback.
Butt Lift aka Butt Bridge
This is another one of those awesome exercises for your butt. It's really popular in Brazil. Brazilian women want a super toned butt because they wear bikinis on the beach. The aim of this exercise is to tighten and lift the muscles. You want a firm butt that will fill out the bikini bottom nicely. It's another type of unweighted exercise. You can use a yoga mat, or not. You start this exercise lying down on the floor as opposed to the kick style. Basically, you lie down on the floor, bend your knees and lift yourself up.
Donkey Kicks
These don't sound sexy, but they help you get a really sexy butt. The whole purpose of these is to really work out the glutes. It looks like a kickback, but it more of a vertical kick. Sometimes the terms are interchangeable, but often they are used to describe a slight different variant. The donkey kick will have less extension on the leg, and more height in the kick. Here's a video that shows you a perfect posture.
Weighted Exercises for Getting a Nice Bikini Butt
These are exercises for building your butt. These exercises also tone, but because of the added weight they help build the muscle. So they are perfect for flat butt, or pancake ass as some ladies call it.
Basic Dumbbell Squat
I prefer a dumbbell squat to a barbell squat. Dumbbells are safer. You're not putting anything over your head or on your back. The weight is enough to give you a good workout, but not so much that it will stress you out. Leave the barbell squats to bodybuilders and power lifters.
Make sure to watch the video to the end because the fitness model shows you how it looks from the side as well. You always want to keep the back straight and not bend over. Watch her for her form.
Dumbell Lunges: Jamie Eason Demonstrates Lunges are fantastic for getting a bubble butt. To make them even better add weights. You do this by holding a dumbbell. In the video, watch Jamie's form. She is a professional fitness model and she has perfect form. Remember, good form is better than high reps. Not only will good form protect you from injury, the better the form the better the muscle is worked out.
What's the difference between a Thong and a G-String?
Which one should I wear?
What are the different types of thongs? They're not all the same, right?
What's a Brazilian thong?
Where can I buy a Thong of G-String Bikini?
Eternal questions. Lets take a look at them.
First up, is a thong and a G-String different types of bikinis, or is it just different names for the same thing?
Most people use the two terms to mean two different things. Thongs provide more coverage.
They are the bridge between regular bikini bottoms and g-strings.
What is a Thong Bikini?
A thong can mean anything. You have the Brazilian Bikini, which is a type of thong. Cheeky Bikinis, Banded Thongs, and Classic Thong. They provide more coverage than the G Strings.
Depending upon what type of thong you get, you'll have more or less coverage.
For instance, Brazilian Bikinis actually have more coverage than most thong bikinis. The classic thong covers enough of the butt to be modest enough for most women.
In fact if you go to Brazil, you will see that most women wear thong bikinis. They don't wear G-Strings, but they do wear thongs.
What about the Brazilian Bikini?
These are two color options from Coqueta Brazilian Bikinis. You can check them out here.
The Brazilian Bikini, or Brazilian Thong, is one of the more popular thong styles.
Like the name indicates, it gained population in Brazil.
The beaches in Rio are some of the nicest in the world, and women there love bikinis, especially those that are cut to be more revealing than your average bikini bottom.
A Brazilian Bikini will have more coverage than a classic thong bikini. It will cover more of the butt. But it still has alot of cheek exposed. Take a look at this example. The bottom covers more of the cheek than a classic thong, but it still reveals more than your typical bikini bottom.
It is not as revealing as the G string, but is more revealing than the normal Cheeky. They have less coverage than your typical swimsuit bottom, but have more than the "classic" thong bikini. The Brazilian Bikini has some material on either cheek. It is probably the most "conservative" of all thong style bikinis. It's the one that you'll see most often at the beach.
A classic thong will have a very narrow strip, and the G-String will only have a string.
Some thong bikninis cover more of the butt than others. The cheeky style is closer to a regular bikini bottom, but some will classify it as a thong because it exposes more "cheek" than a regular bikini bottom.
Most thong bikinis cover enough of the butt to be sexy but not outrageous! You'll see thong bikinis all over South Beach, most beaches in Miami in fact. The hot pool parties in Vegas. Beaches in France, Spain, Greece...most of Europe.
Celebs Love Thong Bikinis!
Celebs that work hard for their bodies love thongs too.
You've seen people like Elisabetta Canalis, Kate Hudson, Rihanna, Ireland Baldwin, Sofia Vergara in thongs while at the beach.
Spainish actresses Penelope Cruz and Paz Vega both have been photographed wearing thongs at the beach.
LeaMichelle and Naya Rivera from Glee both have worn them on vacation, and supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Thong Bikinis Flatter your Butt
Most women like thong bikinis because they don't bunch up and look saggy. They are tight and shape your butt nicely. Classic bikini bottoms often have bunched up or saggy spots because they are too big. You can get a thong bikini with modest coverage if you want. It's better to get a snug thong design because they look much better.
A G String is definitely in its own class. It reveals almost the entire butt.It's the sexiest and hottest bikini. Not everyone will be up for one, but for those that want the ultimate bikini, there is nothing like a G-String.
Here is a cool video where the model Callie shows a BerryDog thong bikini. She does a spin around so you can see what it looks like in real life. It is a really hot, basic black G string thong bikini. You can find lots like it at BerryDog.
Lots of people call them dental floss bikinis because the back has such a small amount of material it looks like dental floss.
The G String is the ultimate bikini. I like a company like Berry Dog because they offer a whole bunch of really hot G-String bikinis. They have prints, solids, and some with claps and jewelry ties in the back.
G-String panties are really popular. The swimsuit versions are gaining in popularity. Especially in party or vacation spots like South Beach, Lake Havasu, Punta Cana and lots of beaches in Europe.
