Sometimes the sexiness of a bikini can be amplified by the type of material that is used in its construction. That is the case with wet look bikinis. Wet look bikinis are made from a special type of lycra that appears to be wet even when it is dry. It is this illusion that makes these suits even sexier than other bikinis.

The wet looks of any kind are particularly sexy because of the inexorable correlation between water and sensuality. Photographs of hot models emerging from the water dripping wet have been tantalizing mankind for years. That look is achieved without the water in swim wear that is made from a shiny lycra.

Types of Wet Look Bikinis

Because the wet look is created by the fabric and not the design, there are a number of different types of wet look bikinis. They can be either traditionally cut or more risqué. Because the look of the fabric is already sexy, the risqué cut bikinis are more common. These suits are typically thong or G-string suits, but they come in a variety of shapes and styles.

The wet look is available in a number of different solid colors including fucshia, blue, red, gold and others, but the black suits are by far the most popular. The black wet look bikinis are very edgy and dominatrix looking giving them added appeal. Also, the wet look effect seems to be more apparent on the black bikinis. They look like oil paint or ink applied directly to body. It is a very sexy look.
