There are plenty of places where no one would bat an eyelid at the sight of a thong bikini; on a beach in Brazil or around the Love Island fire pit, visible butt cheeks are practically de rigueur. But my first sighting this year was not while surfing in Australia or sunbathing in the Caribbean, but at an open-water swimming spot, on a rainy day in Scotland.
I should not have been surprised. Tiny swimwear is huge news this summer. It is no longer confined to sunny climes, but cropping up everywhere from lidos to leisure centres – and lochs, apparently.

Anyone have the full article from behind the paywall?
I don’t think The Guardian has a paywall. You can usually click past the shortened article to the full text. However, this should circumvent any issues.

I scanned the article. A bit disappointed there wasn’t more mention of men’s thongs.

Definitely this. All of the pictures are of women as well.
I have heard that skimpy swimwear is getting more accepted. From a lot of these articles it suggests women but I also saw that speedos are more mainstream on men. I just hope this can mean thongs for us dudes as well.
