6->''"The Cederville Warriors cheerleading squad was hosting its annual car wash on the far edge of the parking lot. All the girls were in tiny shorts and bikini tops. Someone's car stereo was playing some terrible Top 40 bubblegum crap. The girls were using the hose on each other, almost completely ignoring the gold Suburban they were supposed to be washing."''

9Some characters like to constantly walk around in a swimsuit.
10
11They don't have to wear only a swimsuit; they can still wear other clothing as long as we see that there is a swimsuit underneath (especially if [[GoingFurASwim the cover is a fur coat]]). Plus [[TheissTitillationTheory it's possible they'll take their outer clothing off]] so they can get in the water. This trope is more often used by females, while males may have the WalkingShirtlessScene trope more, but neither one is gender specific.
12
13This may happen when it's a PoolScene or BeachEpisode, but can happen anywhere.
14
15This may be {{justified|Trope}} if they work at a swimming pool or beach, or some other aquatic environment, but even then they might still wear just a swimsuit in their off hours.
16
17A SubTrope of {{Fanservice}}.

26[[folder:Advertising]]
27* One of Advertising/AirNewZealandSafetyVideos demonstrates aircraft safety with ''Magazine/SportsIllustrated's'' swimsuit models.
28%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJL4yQn_7qQ This]] Tab Cola commercial from 1982.
29%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih10TA7YzFo Sea and Ski Suntan]] commercial.
30%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf4mjXTEPnE Mandalay Bay]] commercial.
31* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFghY9-NBAw this Sunset Limousine commercial]] Colorado Crush cheerleaders are wearing bikinis while washing a limo.
32[[/folder]]
33
34[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
35* Shizuka, rather unintentionally in the ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}'' OVA, ''The Genius Nobita's Airship Amusement Park''. When the villain Jester and his robot clown army takes over the titular park and captures everyone, it so happens that Shizuka - being ''[[BathingBeauty Shizuka]]'' - was abducted in the indoor swimming pool. She spends a big chunk of the escape scene wearing a two-piece bathing suit, in comparison to the boys (and new character Connie) who's fully clothed.
36* Yukimura Sanada from ''Literature/SamuraiGirls'' wears a [[SchoolSwimsuit White School Swimsuit]] under her clothes. It's MUCH more apparent on her Master Samurai form.
37* ''Franchise/OnePiece''; the [[Manga/OnePiece manga and anime series,]] the movies, and video games contain these scenes:
38** Franky is a male example. Being a cyborg, it doesn't matter if he's ExposedToTheElements.
39** His friend Kiwi of the Square Sisters does the same as well.
40** Post-time skip, [[MsFanservice Nami]] spends the first few arcs in nothing but a bikini top and low-rider jeans (shorts in Dressrosa).
41* ''Manga/KenkoZenrakeiSuieibuUmisho'' revolves around the wacky antics of a swimming club, so the cast is wearing {{School Swimsuit}}s most of the time. Amuro even wears a swimsuit under her school uniform so she can take a swim at any time -- [[InnocentFanserviceGirl when she's wearing anything at all, that is]].
42* [[Anime/MazingerZ Sayaka Yumi]] spends her day in ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'''s 4th OVA in a swimsuit not only on the beach, but an enemy's base because she's, well, [[DamselInDistress kidnapped]].
43* ''Manga/MakenKi'': {{Justified|Trope}} twice, in chapters 4 and 10 respectively:
44** The first time was during Maken-ki's trip to the hot springs, when the girls [[https://mangadex.org/chapter/2871c796-3fe5-4089-be84-1a60aaf9d336/18 stepped out in their bikinis]].
45** Also seen when the teams were assembling to begin the 'guys vs. girls' water polo match, in which, [[https://mangadex.org/chapter/dcbd49fe-24c0-41f8-9b97-6e4ac0e03854/13 Aki, Akaya, and Minori]] arrived together, along with Celia.
46* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
47** Cana is usually in a bikini with pants and an occasional jacket.
48** Angel/[[spoiler:Sorano Agria]] is reduced to wearing a bikini at all times after the second Time Skip.
49* ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' has Yoshika, Mio, and Junko, all of whom wear {{School Swimsuit}}s underneath their uniform tops. [[RunningGag And no pants]].
50* ''Manga/MedakaBox'' has Mogana Kikaijima, the Student Council's treasurer, which makes sense because she's on the swim team. However, it's more of a security issue than it is one of practicality; she feels comfortable in her swimsuit, so she wears it under her school uniform.
51* As a member of the Swimming Club, Shirley from ''Franchise/CodeGeass'' gets a few of these in her SchoolSwimsuit.
52* Cindy Campbell in ''Manga/SquidGirl''. Mostly justified that the anime she is in mostly takes place on a beach. It isn't until an episode in Season 2 that we see her wearing clothes.
53* In the ''VideoGame/GodEaterBurst'' spinoff manga ''The Summer Wars'', Alisa is tricked into wearing a bikini on a mission by another God Eater, Gina Dickinson. She's rather annoyed when she finds out (mostly because she felt embarrassed about baring so much in front of [[TheHero Yuu]], despite her normal {{Stripperiffic}} outfit...).
54* Shura from ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' is always wearing a bikini top and short shorts.
55* All the time by most of the cast of ''Manga/{{Keijo}}'', though {{justified}} in that the titular sport is played in a swimming pool. It would be strange if this ''didn't'' happen.
56* Michiru Kaioh from ''Manga/SailorMoon'' can often be seen in a swimsuit. No justification, she just like swimming so much she has an in-door pool in her apartment.
57* Haruka Nanase of ''Anime/{{Free}}'' constantly wears swimming jammers underneath his clothes, which he tries to take off whenever he thinks he has an opportunity to go swimming (much to the embarrassment of his friends, because he's tried to swim in the middle of malls and such). He, and the rest of the cast, have a justification in the fact that they are part of a swim club and constantly are around pools and such.
58* Most of the cast of ''Anime/{{Dive}}''. Justified in that they are members of a diving team and are constantly around swimming pools and such.
59* In ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', Lum's default outfit is a tiger-patterned bikini and go-go boots. Aside from her school uniform and the occasional street clothes, [[LimitedWardrobe she doesn't wear much else]].
60* Ikumi Mito's usual attire in ''Manga/FoodWars'' is a bikini top and denim mini-shorts. In a bonus chapter she was asked why she wears that while cooking (risking herself to hot oil reaching her), and she replies "A chef musn't be afraid in the kitchen".
61* Pretty much all the characters in ''Manga/HarukanaReceive'' spend lots of time in nothing but two-piece swimsuits. Justified in that it is a manga about women's beach volleyball and the two-piece swimsuit is basically the sport's uniform.
62[[/folder]]
63
64[[folder:Comic Books]]
65* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'': ComicBook/{{Tigra}} is a CatGirl (though of the "covered in fur" type, not the "human with cat ears and tail" type) superheroine whose "costume" is a black bikini, sometimes with toothlike trim or a tiger-head amulet as a clasp in front.
66* ''ComicBook/SubMariner'':
67** Namor wears a black bodysuit on the rare occasion when he feels an ounce of humility, but he's mostly known for going around in nothing but a green [[BrandNameTakeover speedo]]. Somewhat justified by the fact that he spends most of his time underwater, but mitigated by the fact that (1) he wears it on land too, even in frigid climates, and (2) the vast majority of his fellow Atlanteans cover up quite a bit more.
68** Namor's two {{distaff counterpart}}s, Namora and Namorita, fight crime in a black one-piece and a green one-piece or bikini, respectively. When Namorita changed her name to Kymera (and her skin to blue) she adopted an odd bikini/netting/seashell ensemble.
69* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol. 1]]: Queen Clea is from an Atlantean principality and thus wears a bikini top with a pair of loose short sheer pants that are designed for swimming in.
70[[/folder]]
71
72[[folder:Fan Works]]
73* ''Fanfic/PnFSoulmates'' has Phineas and Isabella spend a lot of the 30 Day OTP fic in their swimwear.
74* Blake's primary attire for the entire story in ''Fanfic/BoopTheSnootForCriticalDamage'' is just a bikini with a sarong added later.
75* ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'': Azure Crush wears a bikini all through the battle against a beach full of mutant clams -- and she doesn't seem especially concerned about people seeing even more of her than that when she gets sand in it.
76[[/folder]]
77
78[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
79* Many Bond Girls and FanService Extras in the ''Film/JamesBond'' films. The main examples are Creator/UrsulaAndress in ''Film/DrNo'', Creator/ClaudineAuger in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', Creator/MieHama in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'', Creator/JillStJohn in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', and Creator/BrittEkland in ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun''.
80* ''Film/DDay'' has Aliya infiltrating a water park in swimwear to draw out one of the henchmen, Stasik.
81* In ''Film/LocalHero'', Marina, a marine biologist, wears a black one-piece under her lab coat at a facility -- justified as she has to do some equipment maintenance at the bottom of a large water tank. The visitors [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhrbGTv1PpQ are quite distracted ]].
82* Both the male and female cheerleaders wear swimsuits during a car wash fundraiser in the first ''Film/BringItOn''.
83* ''Film/JustGoWithIt'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psncOpffECA does this with]] Creator/BrooklynDecker. And yet, Decker stated that seeing Creator/JenniferAniston's bikini scenes made her feel undermined.
84* ''Desire And Hell At Sunset Motel'' has the incomparable Sherilyn Fenn swimming in and getting in and out of pools in slow motion all over the place.
85* Unsurprisingly, there are plenty in ''Film/SwimmingPool''.
86* In ''The Young Nurses'', boat racer Donovan is shot on his boat, falls overboard and he nearly drowns. Nurse Kitty jumps off her boat, swims over to his boat, and performs first aid on him. She assists the paramedics and she's still only wearing her bikini when she rides in the ambulance with Donovan When bikini-clad Nurse Kitty arrives in the emergency room, she's chastised by Nurse Dockett (the head nurse) for the way she's dressed:
87-->'''Nurse Dockett:''' Nurse, where is your uniform?\
88'''Kitty:''' I'm off duty now.\
89'''Nurse Dockett:''' And on display!
90* Bridgette is wearing a pair of shorts and a bikini top while washing [[AutoErotica her sex van]] in [[http://www.nitrovideo.com/video/hot-times-at-montclair-highvideo-clip-07-68710.html this scene]] in ''Hot Times at Montclair High''.
91* ''The Pom Pom Girls'': The cheerleaders [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q-S-nULzdE#t=1m57s wear bikinis]] while they practice their cheers on the beach.
92* This was a common fixture of any number of '60s "beach party movies", which were about featuring {{Teen Idol}}s (Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello were Creator/AmericanInternationalPictures' [[ThoseTwoActors go-to screen couple]] for such films) in lightweight, fluffy RomanticComedy plots set in beach towns during the summer, providing a handy excuse to have them in bathing suits for most of the movie. Funicello, a breakout star of ''The Mickey Mouse Club'', reportedly [[ContractualPurity caused massive headaches]] at Creator/{{Disney}} (where she was still under contract) when she starred in 1963's ''Beach Party'', with an {{urban legend|s}} claiming that Creator/WaltDisney required that the makers of that film give her more modest one-piece swimsuits as opposed to bikinis (which [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140103012357/http://www.beachpartymoviemusic.com/themythofthehiddennavel.html wasn't true]]).
93* ''Film/TheSwimmer'' has Creator/BurtLancaster wearing nothing but swim trunks for the entire movie, as his character, handsome Ned Merrill, spends a day walking through his upscale Connecticut neighborhood and diving into every single swimming pool along the way. This is ultimately subverted and morphs into FanDisservice, however, when it eventually becomes clear that the movie is a ThroughTheEyesOfMadness story and that handsome cheerful Ned has actually suffered a severe psychotic breakdown.
94* Jenny in ''Film/Seven1979'', who spends almost the entire movie in a succession of different bikinis (sometime changing between them on camera). She occasionally supplements the bikini with a very short pair of denim cutoffs.
95* ''Film/CryWilderness'': In her only scene, the mayor's wife/girlfriend/mistress is walking through a museum in a bikini, complaining about not having any olives for her martini.
96[[/folder]]
97
98[[folder:Literature]]
99* The short story [[http://www.tiger-town.com/whatnot/updike/ "A&P"]] by John Updike, which begins "In walks these three girls in nothing but bathing suits."
100[[/folder]]
101
102[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
103* Every character on ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'', ever. {{Justified|Trope}} for being lifeguards and all.
104* Miss America pageants contain a swimsuit contest, somewhat controversially.
105* ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'': Elly May Clampett. It is a JustifiedTrope as many scenes occur at the Clampett's opulent "cement pond" aka swimming pool. Notably, when the ''Beverly Hillbillies'' went to color in the fourth season, the very first scene is Elly May swimming in the pool!
106%% * Every lead female character on ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' ends up doing one of these at least once.
107* Heather Thomas in the first episode of ''Series/TheFallGuy'' -- and then repeated in the opening credits of every single episode thereafter, for obvious reasons.
108* ''Series/BlueWaterHigh'' is set in a surf school, so the main cast spends much of the series in swimsuits.
109* Lila Archer in the ''Series/CriminalMinds'' episode "Somebody's Watching", where she does this ''twice''. The first time it's on the set of her TV series, "Emotional Cages", which is a drama about beach volleyball (the premise being picked obviously as an excuse for Archer to walk around in a bikini, just so Reid knows how attractive is the girl that's interested in him). The second time is when Reid is assigned to defend her at her house, where she decides to make a move on Reid, taking off her robe to go for a swim in a [[BlackBraAndPanties black bikini]] and pulling Reid into the pool and making out with him.
110* Reporter Anna Gilligan wears a bikini throughout [[https://vimeo.com/308641287 this segment]] in which she tries out and demonstrates The Tarzan Swing at Ride/ActionPark on ''Good Day America''.
111* [[http://ancensored.com/clip/Charlie-s-Angels/Cheryl-Ladd/13752 Cheryl Ladd]] in the "Angels in Paradise" episode of ''Series/CharliesAngels''--and then repeated in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFunGscYQpk#t=0m48s opening credits]] in every episode thereafter.
112* ''Extra'': Reporter Maria Menounos bet fellow reporter AJ Calloway that if the New England Patriots lost Super Bowl XLVI, she would strip down to a bikini in Times Square. The New York Giants won the game 21-17. Maria then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOHrcNoow3w pays off her bet]].on February 7, 2012.
113* In ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'': [[http://screen.yahoo.com/chris-farley-snl-skits/schmitts-gay-000000579.html Schmitt's Gay Beer]] parodies the trope by having the beer advertised by sexy ''male'' models in speedos.
114* In the "Go Fish" episode of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Buffy. Willow and Cordelia assign themselves to the pool as [[EatingTheEyeCandy an excuse to watch the swim team practice]]. They're pleasantly surprised when they see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69Lwpo5Ihx4#t=0m53s Xander in a speedo]].
115%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzZ1LzwERbg Brad and Lauren]] on ''Series/TheYoungAndTheRestless''.
116* In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr7EKMMOzhE news report]] on Haulover nude beach in South Florida, the reporter wears a bikini and she [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl takes her top off]] at the start of the segment.
117* WPIX traffic reporter [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDsg4fDnJ5M Jill Nicolini]] wears a bikini when she does her segment from a [[PoolScene swimming pool]].
118* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Px7QJ8j1e0 This]] [[Creator/TheABC ABC News segment]] about men's bikini swimsuits features [[MrFanservice a male model]] wearing one.
119[[/folder]]
120
121[[folder:Music]]
122* "Sunshine and Summertime" by Music/FaithHill has [[BuxomBeautyStandard stacked, voluptuous girls]] in bikinis and [[BiggerIsBetterInBed big]], buff guys in speedos:
123--> You'll see straw sombreros and T-top Camaros\
124 And stereos blastin' in the parking lot
125--> You'll see rock [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hardbody&defid=981991 hard bodies]] and bikini hotties\
126And everybody's got it goin' on\
127 And showin' what they got
128[[/folder]]
129
130[[folder:Music Videos]]
131* Music/BritneySpears wears just a pair of jean shorts and a bikini top in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?jGoM7atmJJA the video]] for "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know".
132* {{Music/Lit}} had a [[Music/{{Miserable}} music video]] that featured {{Creator/Pamela Anderson}} wearing nothing but a black and white bikini and huge stripper shoes. In the video she is a giant and the band plays all over her reclining body [[spoiler: until the end of the video when she decides to eat them]].
133%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SArW2QjMIEo "Hangin' In"]] by Tanya Tucker.
134%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M4_Ommfvv0 "Hot For Teacher"]] by Music/VanHalen.
135* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvgWk979eGY the video]] for "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John, the hot, muscular guys are wearing bikini trunks [[WorkoutFanservice while working out]].
136[[/folder]]
137
138[[folder:Pinballs]]
139* Nearly all of the women in ''Pinball/FutureSpa'' wear skimpy bikinis for their workouts.
140[[/folder]]
141
142[[folder:Radio]]
143* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': At least three examples:
144** ''Friday the Thirteenth'': a key factor in the plot is a photograph of Miss Brooks by the lake in a French bathing suit.
145** ''Heat Wave'' has everybody but Miss Brooks and Mr. Conklin scheming to get out of school and pay a trip to the swimming hole. Turns out Harriet Conklin, Walter Denton and Stretch Snodgrass, and even Mr. Boynton have swimming suits under their regular clothes. [[spoiler:At the end of episode, it's revealed Miss Brooks is wearing one too.]]
146** In the episode ''The Dancer'', an exotic dancer wanting Mr. Conklin to hire her for his brother-in-law's bachelor party, strips down to a French bathing suit when left alone in his office.
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
150* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} Ultra Tech'' has rules for tailoring advanced fabric armor to look like clothing. A one piece swimsuit made of spider silk, providing protection equivalent to a modern concealable kevlar vest is a very distinct possibility, and very easy to wear under clothing.
151[[/folder]]
152
153[[folder:Video Games]]
154* Felicia from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' technically counts as she walks around in naught but a FurBikini, and a real one would have covered her more.
155* Elena from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' is clad in a bikini. Also from that very same game, Gill, who's practically clad in only a speedo.
156* VideoGame/TyTheTasmanianTiger pretty much wears nothing but a pair of red and yellow sun print swimming trunks, a matching patterned bandana around the neck, and a pair of leather gloves.
157** One alternate skin for Ty in the PC version called "Wetsuit" comprises of blue and yellow boardshorts, and a matching colored T-shirt.
158* Misty from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red, Blue]],'' ''[[Videogame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gold, and Silver]]'' and their remakes. An odd case, since she just wore swimsuits prior to the {{Timeskip}}. Possibly because an eleven-year-old walking around in a swimsuit is more innocent than a teenager doing so.
159* ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2''
160** Marlon is a male example who is also MrFanservice.
161** The player characters are visibly wearing swimsuits under their clothes. Nate is wearing a wetsuit, and Rosa is wearing wetsuit bottoms with a halter-style bikini top.
162* Nessa is the water gym leader from ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', and like Misty, wears a swimsuit regardless of whether or not she's actually swimming. Unlike Misty, she is a much older MsFanservice.
163* ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'':
164** Kira Daidouji, because she fights waist-deep in a blob of water.
165** Her rival, Catherine Kyohbashi for no reason whatsoever.
166* Rikku from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' wears a bikini with a miniskirt and a scarf over it as her default outfit.
167* A Non-{{Fanservice}} one: In ''VideoGame/MySims Agents'', Clara Belle, Taylor, [[AllGuysWantCheerleaders Summer]] and [[SurferDude Luke]] wear some Beach-Wear (though Summer is a lifeguard).
168* ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'':
169** Justified with Trauare Wrede in the first game where, due to her status as the game's [[MakingASplash Water-element boss]], she wears an open jacket over her swimsuit, and, well... not [[{{Stripperific}} much else]]. [[{{Fanservice}} It's as hot as it sounds.]]
170** Other than for her MeaningfulName maybe, it's not at all justified with Luste Teuber, who also wears a {{Stripperific}} ensemble, which consists of a black bikini, UsefulNotes/OperaGloves and thighhigh socks.
171* ''VideoGame/RumbleRoses'' the girls each have one as an alternate costume, and it's the only outfit available for the mud wrestling match.
172* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' has a free swimsuit DLC that allows you to put your characters in bikinis, speedos and swim trunks as they {{Dungeon Crawl|ing}} through an EldritchLocation full of TheHeartless. No one will comment on this, despite the swimsuits still being on them in cutscenes.
173* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the Summer Events. Each one has several female Servants in swimsuits, and for various reasons are different classes and all are HotterAndSexier than their regular incarnations. And they keep their Swimsuits on after the event, no matter what.
174** The first event does justify retaining them by revealing that Scathach, who was responsible for changing their classes with swimsuits, completely forgot how to reverse it.
175** The second event justifies the initial change to swimsuits by Ishtar, a goddess of love, requiring the racers wear swimsuits to [[{{Fanservice}} get more attention]] to [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve power her ritual]].
176** By the third event, everybody in-universe has [[LampshadeHanging gotten used to changing into swimsuits and different classes for these events]].
177* The ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' Xtreme SpinOff games; nearly every scene is a swimsuit scene.
178* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' is similar to ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' in that during the summer they had events where they bring out swimsuit-clad heroes.
179* In ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'', Catie will change into a swimsuit whenever she visits a pool or the beach. The PlayableEpilogue adds the option to let her wear it anywhere – if you do, the rest of the party will gain unique swimsuits of their own, and wear them during cutscenes.
180* ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' has its final DLC mission set on a tropical resort in the Maldives. One target is Ljudmila Vetrova, who walks around in a bikini and flowing strips of cloth that dangle from her waist to give the appearance of a dress. [[PlayerCharacter Agent 47]] will start the mission in normal clothes, but he has the ability to wear a swimsuit in his quarters, pink trunks and an unbuttoned pastel shirt, that he can wear for the whole mission if he chooses.
181* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIII'' swimsuit armors can be purchased and worn by female members.
182* ''VideoGame/NotTonight'': You'll be seeing these a lot at the Fire & Ice Club shifts two-thirds of the way through Chapter 1. And, of course, those wearing swimsuits and beach clothes (which are banned items) are not allowed. [[FridgeLogic Though one has to wonder why people are wearing swimsuits in England in a cold month like]] ''[[FridgeLogic January]]''[[FridgeLogic , of all places!]]
183[[/folder]]
184
185[[folder:Webcomics]]
186* ''Webcomic/BronzeSkinInc'': Since the setting is a beach in Rio de Janeiro, and they are there to work on their tan, it almost goes without saying that the giantesses are always walking around in little more than bikinis.
187[[/folder]]
188
189[[folder:Web Videos]]
190* Look TV: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vd6PEUWo64 Both]] [[SurferDude Pro Surfer]] Alana Blanchard and Valentine Bureau when Alana teaches Valentine how to surf.
191[[/folder]]
192
193[[folder:Western Animation]]
194* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
195** Sandy wears a purple bikini when she is in her treedome.
196** Some female Bikini-Bottomites walk in bikinis as well.
197* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'': An episode of the second season had Janine in nothing but a leopard-spot bikini. Oddly enough, she's nowhere ''near'' any water throughout the episode. The city was under a heat wave and Janine was in the office in a bikini to stay cool.
198[[/folder]]
199
200[[folder:Real Life]]
201* During their car wash fundraisers, many high school and college cheerleaders often wear either bikinis or shorts and bikini tops.
202* The Miami Floridians of the American Basketball Association had "ballgirls," sort of combination ballboys and cheerleaders, who wore bikinis to all the games. The team even brought them to some away games (despite many ABA teams' tendency to only bring ten players to away games, instead of their full roster of twelve, to save money on travel expenses).
203* Every summer, Hooters restaurants hold [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbiJFvbEiqU charity car washes]] with the Hooter girls washing cars in bikinis.
204%% * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn6HBD8obeM These]] [[MatingDance dancing]] Vietnamese [[SexyStewardess flight attendants]].
205* Beauty pageants have historically featured a swimsuit walk. Beautiful women. In swimsuits. Walking.
206* Several coffee shops use this as a gimmick to [[{{Pun}} attract]] customers by having their (young and attractive) barista staff work in swimsuits or underwear.
