Moms in Bikinis

[Anonymous]

I have no opinion except to say that I see them on moms all the time. I live in the VA burbs.

I personally wear tankinis because even though I am thin I do not work out or do situps.

Disgusting attitudes and perceptions on all this "earning the right" business. And, this perspective that you are going to the beach to essentially 'show off' to other women/men/everybody. Well, supposedly that is what is happening; by dressing in very little, you are literally showing your body off.

I don't have a great belly, its jiggly and weird in a lot of ways and guess what- I still wear a 2 piece most of the time because its more comfy, better for my fit (so I can wear a bra top) and I think actually makes me look better in a lot of ways,- I'm the same size in a 1 piece, I'm not fooling anyone.

I don't need to earn a right to wear a swim suit. SO fucking weird and American. And I AM American!

No hey if you can wear it...go for it. The thing is most in their 30's cannot wear a bikini well so I say kudos to you!

I lived in Europe for six years where every female between 9 and 90 wears a bikini. No one ever comments on it. Americans are so judgemental about bodies.

Bikini? All public beaches in Barcelona, Costa Brava, and South France full of topless women from 9 to 90. I especially love a large group of topless grannies in their 70-80s.

I live in the Caribbean and almost everyone wears a 2 piece here. I have far less hangups after living here. I find bikinis far more comfortable and flattering, so that's what I usually wear.

My Lord people, stop looking at me in my bikini. Trust me, I am having fun at the beach and not looking at you.

When I used to work out four days a week and finish half marathons in the top 10%, I wore bikinis..... then I got lazy and flabby. It's tankinis and a cover up for me now.

I never ran a marathon and I don't work out a lo, so I am flabby. But I love my body, and I hate a large piece of wet synthetic fabric (especially with liner) against my skin, so I am wearing bikini. I don't really care what people think about my body. My husband loves it, and it all that matters.

Does she also lay out in full sun coated with baby oil, no sunglasses and talking on her phone the whole time? If so we are out the same pool...

If you are comfortable wearing a bikini, go for it! Don't give a fuck about what other people think.
