A group of models descended on a festival wearing seriously skimpy bikinis — but fans spotted a major problem with the barely-there design.

It’s quite possibly the most wild festival outfit ever — but fans have spotted a major problem with this daring look.

Models hit Ultra Festival in Miami over the weekend wearing duct tape bikinis, 2019’s most bizarre swimwear trend.

But not only is wearing the skimpy design extremely brave, there’s also a major issue with it.

Posting underneath a video of three women rocking their barely-there outfits, one fan said: “It’s all fun and games until one of them has to pee.”

How do the models go to the bathroom in this? It’s the question everyone is dying to know.

The statement has caused a stir among other followers, with many baffled as to what the ladies would do when they need to go to the bathroom.

One person said: “Questions … 1:how do you tape the private part??? 2: what do you do when you gotta pee??? 3: does it hurt when removing the tape??

“How in the heck do you cover your private parts after you’ve been to the bathroom??” another wrote.

Seriously though, we’re confused.

One of the models posted a photo of herself after the event that had a similar stream of questions from concerned fans.

“Things that goes throw my mind … How did u do when u had to pee?” one person said.

“What do they do if they need to pee?” someone else said, tagging a friend into the snap.

While the toilet situation is utterly confusing, others were more interested in how painful it was to remove.

“That tape had to have hurt coming off,” one commenter wrote.

“Does it hurt to take off?! another said.

Though she didn’t reveal just how they go to the bathroom in the outfit, Alexis did respond to a fan saying it didn’t hurt at all to remove.

While this is arguably one of the most wild festival outfits to date, it’s not the first time we’ve seen duct tape bikinis.

In 2018, the “King of Tape” Joel Alvarez turned heads when his dazzling styles appeared at Miami Swim Week.

They made a comeback on the catwalk in 2019, carving the way as a leader in the extreme swimwear category — something we’ve definitely not been short of this year.

Last week a “naked” bikini went viral for looking as if the wearer isn’t wearing any clothes, while last month a micro bikini featuring minuscule buckles for straps stunned the internet too.

What do you think of the daring festival outfit? Would you wear it or do you think the tiny swimwear trend is going too far? Let us know below.
