The tankini is a bathing suit introduced in the late 1990s which combines a tank top and a bikini bottom. The tank top is usually a blend of spandex with cotton or nylon. This type of swimwear is considered by some to provide the coverage of a one-piece suit with the convenience of a two-piece suit, as the entire suit need not be removed in order to use a toilet. Tankinis come in a variety of styles, colors, and shapes, and some include features such as integrated push-up bras. It is particularly popular as children's beachwear, and is considered an athletic outfit fit for a triathlon. A tankini allows people to play sports on land and in water with less fear of loosing their tops.
