There is nothing wrong with female characters in lingerie, leotards, or female swimwear. Fanservice is not unwholesome when it's "Safe For Work", as long as private parts are covered.
In this comic, Kirby is informing us that female swimsuits, while looking similar in appearance to lingerie and leotards, are more water durable than lingerie and leotards. This could explain why females have no problems being in bikinis but feel more exposed when in lingerie. Given that bikini bottoms look like panties, perhaps it's time we started using swimies, a portmanteau of swimsuit and panties, as a new slang term for bikini bottoms. On top of that, there are long-sleeved one-piece swimsuits that look like water durable versions of gymnastics leotards, and females do not mind being in leotards. Therefore, fanservice can be "Safe For Work" if "Not Safe For Work" elements are completely omitted.
