Crotch charms to add to your bikini are surely a recipe for disaster
Your crotch has been missing something all these years and you didn't even know it.
It's called a "Beachtail," and it's basically a crotch charm designed to embellish your bikini when you're at the beach. Because apparently your swimwear isn't enough on its own!
Japanese retailer BoDivas is behind the bizarre crotch charms, which are formed of a small metal chain to be worn inside your bikini bottoms. Once hooked inside bikini bottoms, four chains adorned with stones will dangle from your crotch.
Sounds so comfortable.
The "beachtail" accessory is made from a rhodium silver-plated metal chain and Swarovski crystals. But, for beachgoers soaking up the sun during the warm summer months, wearing anything made of metal is pretty much a recipe for disaster. And, you might end up getting a nasty burn.
Ranging in price from $19.50 (£15) to $22.50 (£17.30), the Beachtails are available online via BoDivas' Etsy, Ebay, and Amazon stores.
This is one beach trend we will not be in a hurry to try out.
