A 'tanga' is an undergarment and swimwear for both sexes which has no material around the sides other than the waist band. A 'string tanga' is a type of tanga swimwear which has the waist band replaced with strings which are tied. The term originated from the Kimbundu term "ntanga", meaning loincloth.
This is one item of clothing that cannot be worn in dance competitions under the rules of the IDSF (International DanceSport Federation).
