Original Meaning
A weapon with a Y-shaped frame attached to a rubber band and the tension of the rubber allows it to shoot pebbles, snails, etc. at a long distance. Although it is just a children's toy, it is actually a good weapon used for hunting and other purposes.
Swimsuit Meaning
A type of swimsuit. It mainly consists of the following four features:
- One-piece type
- No fabric on the sides
- Open in the front from the navel to the neck
- V-shaped fabric
It is so named because its shape resembles the Y-shaped frame of the slingshot weapon mentioned above.
On pixiv, the tag "Slingshot" almost always refers to a slingshot swimsuit, and some people may not know about the slingshot as a weapon.
Also known as string swimsuits, erotic swimsuits, etc.
In illustrations and other creative slingshot swimsuits, the fabric is often so thin that it is almost like a string, and they are often drawn as if they are naked.
In real, practical slingshots, the fabric area can be somewhat larger, but if you are used to creative ones, this may feel strange.
As for the shape, not only the pure V-shape but also "cross-type" ones where the strings cross around the neck or waist are called slingshots for convenience.
