What’s with everything being cheeky these days

[Anonymous]

I was just in southern Europe inc Italy and can confirm EVERYONE is wearing not thongs but near thongs (women, old and young)

The only time this trend bothers me is when teens/young women take a normal coverage bottom and pull it up their butt (this is particularly popular with the life guards at our local pool). It looks so uncomfortable and I feel chafed just seeing it!

Why don’t we just have options ladies?!?

Why doesn’t she just shave then? I’m not understanding the issue.

You’re gross and the point is that it’s totally inappropriate that there are no OPTIONS for people who don’t want to shave (no matter their age).

There are SO MANY options. Here's just ONE: https://www.landsend.com/shop/womens-swim-shorts/S-xfh-xez-y5c-xhe-y9k-xec?cm_re=lec-_-womensswimbottoms-_-swimshorts-vis-nav-_-20200118

NP. Yeah, there are absolutely plenty of options. Sounds like the problem here was that they randomly had to replace the bathing suit while on vacation, last minute. But I don't get the issue here either, though. Does your DD shave her legs in the summer? Just keep going and shave the bikini line too... I mean, we all agree it's a PITA, but no need for her to be so hung up on it.

Your butt should at least have a layer of fabric on it if you want to get some eggs for breakfast inside in a restaurant from a buffet.

I don't love it on the beach, but, oh well.

You are my squeamish sister! I too think it's very unappealing in food situations.

Why? You don’t serve yourself eggs with your butt.

I think about people sitting and spreading fecal matter on the seat, and then I think about them putting their hands down on their seats (let's say to get up from the seat) and getting fecal matter on their hands and then touching the buffet tongs. This is an actual norovirus spreading scenario in my food safety class

You need therapy if you’re seeing fecal matter everywhere.

I can't!
Thongs Can Shift Bacteria Around
That thong movement could, in theory, be transferring bacteria from your bum, to your vulva. Ew. Because thongs and g-strings sit right up against your anus, they’re exposed to more fecal matter than looser underwear. Bacteria like E. coli are perfectly normal in your colon, but can cause infections like Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) or Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) if they travel to your vagina or urethra. Basically, thongs can break the cardinal rule of always wiping front-to-back to prevent contamination!

People were wearing thong bikinis on a plane?

It was cheeky shorts/romper athleisure onsie monstrosity but yes i could see her bum

What’s unhygienic about it if it’s just her cheeks hanging out?

I would not want her sitting on my white sofa!

No different from a bare arm resting on your white sofa. Hands, needless to say are far worse for germs. Threat to the upholstery, a head resting is the bigger concern.

Last time I checked, you didn't pee, poop or sweat as much from your arms.

I was just at the beach and saw so many cheeky outfits on women (men, of course, are mostly wearing shorts to their knees). Two women were seated on the pavement, watching the sunset, and when they got up, there was a gigantic butt/crotch sweat outline on the pavement from each woman. It was so gross. They thought it was hilarious, but imagine that on your restaurant seat? Do you really want to sit on someone else’s crotch sweat?

I’m a different poster, but maybe she doesn’t want to deal with the itch, stubble, and/or ingrown hairs when it grows back.

So -- unpopular request-- but I like my butt. Unlike a lot of other things on my body.

I'm 45. I don't want a thong. But where can I get a butt-but-n0t-tunmmy revealing simple bathing suit?

Wear what you want to wear!!! Are you worried your husband is ogling?

I gave up on swimwear this summer and took my husband to Pine Tree in Annapolis and bared it all. Awkward air first, after 10 minutes I couldn't care. Being naked with others who weren't judging me was relaxing and quite enjoyable. I never thought I'd be able to do this, but here I am. Hubby seemed to enjoy himself as well. He was more awkward than I. Going back this weekend to ensure we are comfortable with our decision to partake in social nudity.

We've been to Pine Tree and found a great community of open minded adults. Their weekend events are great, especially their pool parties and bands. Hard to believe this place exists in many of our backyards, and so few people know of it!

I’m in the 21401 zip code and have known about Pine Tree for years, but never took the plunge. How was it?

Pine Tree is the best place of its kind, with a multitude of activities and facilities.
