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]].
Contrast [[Leotard of Power]], [[Walking Shirtless Scene]] (though it can cross for guys), [[Underwear of Power]].

== [[Anime]]
* Yukimura Sanada from ''[[Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls]]'' wears a [[School Swimsuit|White School Swimsuit]] under her clothes. It's ''much'' more apparent on her Master Samurai form.
* ''[[One Piece]]''
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has Yoko.
* [[Mazinger Z|Sayaka Yumi]] spends her day in ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'''s 4th OVA in a swimsuit not only on the beach, but an enemy's base because she's, well, [[Damsel in Distress|kidnapped.]]
*
** Edolas Bisca does this for the most part.
** 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.
* The characters from ''[[Harukana Receive]]'', [[Justified Trope|justified]] that the series primarily focuses on beach volleyball.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Tigra of ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'' is a [[Catgirl]] (though of the "[[Petting Zoo People|covered in fur]]" type, not the "[[Little Bit Beastly|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.
* ''[[Sub-Mariner]]''
** 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 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—in fact, until the 90s or so, it was the only thing he ever wore, and (2) the vast majority of his fellow Atlanteans cover up quite a bit more.
** 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].
== [[Film]] ==
* 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}}.
* ''The Bikini Car Wash Company''
* The female characters in ''[[Into the Blue]]''.
* [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''.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* Every female character on ''[[Baywatch]]'', ever. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] for being Lifeguards and all.
* The Miss America pageant's swimsuit competition.
Line 59 ⟶ 63:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr7EKMMOzhE This] South Florida reporter wears a thong bikini while doing a story on Haulover nude beach. She also [[Shameless Fanservice Girl|takes off her top]] at the beginning of the segment.
== [[Music]] ==
* "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" by [[Bobby Darin]].
* [[Faith Hill]] mentions men wearing speedos and women wearing bikinis in "Sunshine & Summertime" in the line "You'll see rock hard bodies and bikini hotties".
* Carmen describes a [[Barely-There Swimwear|bikini that "contains less cotton than a medicine bottle"]]. No word on how much spandex though.
== [[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).
* ''[[Dead or Alive|Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball]]''{{context}}
* Justified with Trauare Wrede in ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]''. Due to her status as the game's [[Making a Splash|Water-element boss]], she wears an open jacket over her swimsuit, and, well... not [[Stripperific|much else]]. [[Fan Service|It's as hot as it sounds.]]
