The bikini brief is the default panty silhouette. It sits at or just below the hips, has moderate scooping at the leg openings, and fully covers the rear. It's the lingerie analog of a bikini swim bottom — hence the name.
Bikini briefs became the dominant style in the 1960s–70s and remain the most-sold panty type worldwide.
