Bikini Sizes: Tops and Bottoms
The measurements are in inches.
Needless to say, bikini tops and bottoms come in a variety of styles. More than anything else, it’s their coverage that can affect their size. A teardrop bikini top may measure 5 high x 2 3/4 wide. This size is suitable for cups B through D. Of course, the bigger the cup size, the less will be covered; this is true for all
bikini tops and bottoms.
A micro bikini top measures 5 1/2 high x 2 1/4 wide (for cups B to D). A tiny top measures 6 high x 4 wide. This is also suitable for cups B to D. A rounded B cup is about 5 1/2 high x 6 wide, while a regular C cup is 6 1/2 high x 7 wide.
The teardrop bikini bottom is about 7 high x 3 1/2 wide (from the front to the back it is 7 high x 3 1/2 wide). Bikini sizes for a micro bottom varies, but a lot measure 6 1/2 high x 3in wide. The G string bikini measures 6 1/2 high x 6 1/2 wide, while a tiny thong is 6 high x 3 3/4 wide.
Other Sizes
The mini thong measures 6 high x 4 3/4 wide.A mini-mini bottom may be 3.9 wide x 4.7 long. A micro Brazil is 3.94 wide x 4.7 long and the slingshot 4.7 wide front x 5.5 long.
There are just examples. There are probably hundreds of styles out there, but knowing the basic bikini sizes should help you make the right choice.
