[quote=Anonymous]My holy grail were the Gap cotton string bikinis in black. I wore a size S or XS. Now they are no longer selling them, I wash mine in cold water and hang to dry to extend the lifespan!

The two closest replacements I've found:

K-Mart - Joe Boxer Low-Rise string bikinis
http://www.kmart.com/joe-boxer-women-39-s-6-pack-assorted-lowrise-string/p-999000VP46019611P
or 
http://www.kmart.com/joe-boxer-women-s-6-pack-cotton-string-bikini/p-027W007294063001P

They are 100% cotton and a good price. You can't pick your assortment, and the patterns are kind of hit and miss, but there seems to be three solids in each pack and the cut is pretty similar to the Gap. I laid them side by side, and the "string" sections of the K-Mart ones are just a tad longer than the Gap string sections. In the Gap undies the top corners of the front triangular piece of fabric curve a little bit towards the back panel, so the string is actually quite short. Whereas the Joe Boxers have a triangular front panel with three straight sides, so the string is longer. The other difference is that they hit a bit lower on the hip.

I also think these are worth a try if you wear a Medium or Large: http://www.amazon.com/American-Active-Womens-String-Bikini/dp/B00UZ8EMFG

100% cotton, again you cannot pick your colors. With the discounted Amazon price it's quite affordable, and the cut is pretty close. The comments indicated that they run small, so I ordered a Medium set with my fingers crossed, but there was just too much fabric in the back to make it work for me. I had to return them.

I am waiting on an order of the Hanes 100% cotton string bikinis. Will report back. Affordable, assorted colors only, and you have to watch out since the Solids and Prints are 100% cotton but the Heathers and Stripes are 25% polyester according to Amazon (WHY?) I ordered these: http://www.kmart.com/hanes-cotton-string-bikini-3-pack/p-030VA66390412P

FAILS:

Fruit of the Loom 100% cotton string bikinis - Looking more closely, I may have gotten the wrong product delivered since the ones I got have a strip of stretch lace instead of a solid string, like in the Amazon product photo. Maybe I'll try again, but aside from the lace (which I dislike) the cotton feels extra flimsy and rides up on me almost immediately.
These are the ones I thought I was ordering: http://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Loom-Womens-Fashion-Panties/dp/B0034G65SS/

The Jockey string bikinis - 100% cotton and you can get an all-black pack of 3, but the cut was just terminally bizarre on me - the back panel kept emerging in a big flap over the top of my pants, and wearing them felt like a cross between a diaper and Daryl Hannah's getup in Clan of the Cave Bear.

If you're missing the old VS cotton bikini panties (not string,) consider Gildan ladies' bikini or hipster bikini 6-pack. Again look out, as the Heathers colors are some cotton-whatever mix while the solids are all cotton. The cotton feels higher quality and the cut (I got the hipsters) aren't bad.
