Line 5:
For some reason, some girls seem to walk around in a swimsuit only for [[Fan Service]], which may be [[Justified Trope|justified]] because they work at a swimming pool or at the beach.
These girls 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. For example, Misty
If ''everybody'' gets into swimsuits for a single episode, you're probably watching a [[Beach Episode]] or a [[Hot Springs Episode]].

** Cana is usually in a bikini with pants and an occasional jacket.
** Lucy and Erza too, during the Tenrou Island arc.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'' has Yoshika, Mio, and Junko, all of whom wear [[School Swimsuit]]s underneath their uniform tops. [[Running Gag|And no pants]].
* ''[[Medaka Box]]'' has Kikaijima Mogana, which makes sense because she's on the swim team. However, it's more of a security issue than it is one of practicality.
* As a member of the Swimming Club, Shirley from ''[[Code Geass]]'' gets a few of these in her [[School Swimsuit]].
* ''[[Squid Girl]]'' mainly takes place on a beach, so the female characters (including those in the background) would often wear swimsuits every once in a while. Special mentions go to Cindy Campbell and Tomomi Mochizuki, the former of whom gets comments on the rare occasions that she wears something other than a striped bikini underneath her red jacket, while the latter wears denim shorts.
* ''[[Keroro Gunso]]'' does this with gratuitously, ramped up with [[Beach Episode]]s.

* ''[[Sub-Mariner]]''
Line 38 ⟶ 42:
** Namor's two [[Distaff Counterpart|distaff counterparts]], 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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20060512030049/http://www.thephoenixxx.com/jeangrey/heroines/kymera.jpg bikini/netting/seashell ensemble].

* Many [[Fan Service]] Extras in the ''[[James Bond]]'' films. (Commonly included in any list of "Bond Girls", but [[Bond Girl]] refers to characters with actual personalities and prominent role in the movie)
* In ''[[Local Hero]]'', 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 are quite distracted [http://quietube2.com/v.php/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhrbGTv1PpQ&feature=channel_video_title\]{{Dead link}}.
Line 45 ⟶ 49:
* [http://ancensored.com/clip/Dirty-Movie/Lindsey-E-Vuolo/43714 Lindsey Vuolo] '''(NSFW)''' wears a monokini while telling a dirty joke in ''National Lampoon's Dirty Joke''.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* Misty from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]],'' ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, and Silver]]'' and their remakes. An odd case, since she just wore swimsuits prior to the [[Time Skip]]. Possibly because an eleven-year-old walking around in a swimsuit is more innocent than a teenager doing so.
* ''[[Arcana Heart]]''
Line 71 ⟶ 75:
* Rikku from ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'' wears a bikini with a miniskirt and a scarf over it as her default outfit.
* A Non-[[Fan Service]] one, In ''[[My Sims]] Agents'', Clara Belle, Taylor, [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|Summer]] and [[Surfer Dude|Luke]] wear some Beach-Wear (though Summer is an Lifeguard).
