Shein's £8.99 swimsuit has broken the internet because it looks SO painful

A £9 swimsuit from a website dubbed the 'online version of Primark' has broken the internet thanks to a very 'painful' looking crotch design. The swimsuit has divided shoppers thanks to a very, VERY small crotch covering.

But before you rush out to buy it, I should probably let you know that it's sold out in the black colourway. So if you were looking for something that barely covers your modesty, you're better investing in some tooth floss. Joke.

The ' Backless Ring Linked One Piece Swimsuit' from Shein boasts a low-cut top with extreme high-cut legs - it's certainly not a look for the faint-hearted.

To make the ensemble even more risque, it comes completely backless with a tiny string covering your dignity. Luckily, though, if this is your thing and you missed out on the swimming costume in black, the retailer offers it in green too - and it's currently on sale for just £5.99.

Some weren't so keen on the swimsuit, however, with one writing: "Why bother wearing anything at all?"

Another tagged her friendship group, sarcastically suggesting: "Shall we get matching cossies for the beach?" with one of her friends quipping: "One for each side", followed by many crying with laughter emojis.

"Ouch! Worst 'front wedgie' ever!", wrote another. It's clearly proven to be a popular piece though, as sizes 8 to 16 have sold out.

Some liked the look, with one tagging their friend saying: "Can you please get one for me, I don't mind which colour!"
