This Koala one goes close in the barely-covered stakes and has been worn on a suburban beach on a quiet day and through the full Sunnyside carpark on the way to the clothing-optional zone. Once again, the pictures are the original website ones:

The blurb from the website:
Undeniable
U7918 $29.00
Hot orange thong with v-drop front narrow pouch and
real tie sides. Undeniable is the essence of California Bikini Design. A real beach suit that you can untie
to get the very best tan with striking good
looks to show off in.
I guess if, given the choice between a small suit and nude, I've often taken the nude option so that mght be the answer. But there is a difference in that nude in a nude environment is different to skimpy in a textile environment, even if most of what I wear in a textile environment is not quite that brief but certainly a long way from board shorts.
