(and I know how frustrating to pin-point when one cannot stop to record every single image seen on the web)

Other than Prevailsport and Skinzwear, who else sell string side or rio cut swimsuits? Any big name swim company like Speedo and Arena?

A string side bikini is harder to make and more likely to go wrong than other bikinis. The manufacturers will avoid them given little demand.
I like them, but as with thongs it is difficult to find the right places to wear one.

As for string sides I would guess a definite No for the big names.
As for Rio cut, there seem to be plenty about - a small selection:

Thats actually Steve Grand he is a gay country singer http://www.stevegrand.com/ but I do love the suits he wears. :)

Are you sure it's Steve Grand? I tried to compare the pics from his personal website to the initial pic I posted here, they look a bit different?

I could be wrong...i'm on my 2nd glass of Chianti :eek:

Sorry Byron, nice selection of swim bikinis there but no strings.

A string bikini looks like this: http://www.nolimitsunderwear.com/Str...-p/301%20b.htm

The front and back are sewn into a waist band consisting of fabric covered elastic.
