  • the present inventors have now invented such a swimsuit bottom or pair of briefs, said swimsuit bottom or pair of briefs having: a waistband; a crotch; a thong extending between the crotch and the waistband; and a rear flap attached to the crotch and detachably attached to the waistband, wherein when the rear flap is attached to the waistband both the thong and at least part of the wearer's buttocks are concealed and when the flap is detached from the waistband both the thong and the wearer's buttocks can be revealed.
  • the rear flap can be of any suitable shape and size. The rear flap can, for example, conceal part of each buttocks or both buttocks completely.
  • the rear flap preferably comprises a piece of fabric.
  • the rear flap can be tucked between the wearer's thighs when detached from the waistband.
  • the rear flap can be further detachably attached to the crotch such that the rear flap can be removed completely.
  • the rear flap can be detachably attached to the waistband in any suitable way. For instance, a zipper, press studs, hook and loop type fasteners (eg. Velcro ®) or string ties can be used.
  • the rear flap can be detachably attached to the crotch as described for the waistband. If the rear flap is not detachably attached to the crotch, then it can be, for example, stitched to the crotch.
  • the waistband can be of any suitable shape and size.
  • the waistband comprises a strip or band of fabric that extends around the wearer's lower torso, eg. waist or hips.
  • the thong can be of any suitable shape and size, and can be attached to the waistband and crotch in any suitable way.
  • the thong comprises a strap or strip of fabric extending between the wearer's buttocks and is stitched to both the waistband and the crotch.
  • the swimsuit bottom or pair of briefs can be of any suitable style.
  • the swimsuit bottom is a bikini style bottom.
  • the swimsuit bottom or pair of briefs can be made of, for example, lycra, cotton, nylon or rayon.
  • the swimsuit bottom or pair of briefs can have other features of known swimsuit bottoms and briefs such as a front covering extending between the waistband and the crotch for concealing the wearer's front lower torso.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation view of a convertible swimsuit bottom according to an embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 2 is a detailed rear elevation view of the swimsuit bottom of Figure 1
  • Figure 3 is the same as Figure 2 but with a rear flap of the swimsuit bottom detached from a waistband of the swimsuit bottom
  • Figure 4 is a detailed rear elevation view of a convertible swimsuit bottom according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figures 1 to 3 show a convertible swimsuit bottom 1 having a waistband 2, a crotch 3, a thong 4 extending between the crotch 3 and the waistband 2, a front covering 5 extending between the waistband 2 and the crotch 3 for concealing the wearer's front lower torso, and a rear flap 6 attached to the crotch 3 and detachably attached to the waistband 2.
  • the rear flap 6 is attachable to the waistband 2 with string ties 7.
