It says that sungas enable you "to catch a very good tan" (no logic there whatsoever) and "....which is why they are called..." (more nonsense about a totally different garment called a mankini).

Here are some more useful pictures to see what varieties of sungas there are.
This is a link to a Brazilian beachwear maker and an interview. It shows there is a variety of cuts in their line of sungas.

this interview states which ones were popular in August 2009 - with the "Brazilian Army Cut" being most popular

It implies that one style has its origins in army issued swimwear but it can be just a catchy name they made up.
Although the designer makes what they call shorts (longer suits), the majority are brief-style.
