There used to be a Freeview channel, on British TV, that I sometimes watched with interest and some envy.  It aired in the early hours of the morning and featured a small number of Thai women, some trans and some, I believe, cis.  Of those that I think were trans, a couple were certainly pre-op.  All of the women always kept their bikini bottoms on.
On one occasion, a very attractive woman, normally well-tucked, could not keep her bulge, and its obvious shape, hidden.  She even tried slapping it down while her companion, who I believe was a cis woman, fell about laughing.  I'm ashamed to say that I also found it funny.
However, there was a happy and possibly useful ending.  To her credit, the afflicted trans woman was not too mortified to return to work.  Subsequently, though, she wore bikini bottoms with a frill on the front.  It effectively broke the outline of whatever was contained in her bikini bottom.
I think that other pre-op trans women who wear bikinis might think about doing the same.
