“Bikini” and “bras” are both terms related to women’s intimate apparel, specifically lingerie.
A “bra” (short for brassiere) is an undergarment designed to support and cover the breasts. Bras come in various styles, including push-up, sports bras, balconette, and more. They are typically worn underneath clothing to provide support, shape, and modesty.
On the other hand, a “bikini” usually refers to a type of women’s underwear that is designed to be worn as swimwear or as underwear. It typically consists of two separate pieces: a bra-like top covering the breasts and a matching bottom that provides coverage to the pelvic area but is less extensive than regular underwear. The term “bikini” can also be used more broadly to describe a two-piece swimsuit.
In summary, while “bras” specifically refer to undergarments designed to support and cover the breasts, “bikini” is a term that often refers to a two-piece swimsuit, including a top and bottom, with the top resembling a bra but designed for swimwear purposes.
