If you are over 50 do you still wear bikinis?

Yes, and I look a lot better than 2/3 of the men in that age bracket, who don’t wear one piece suits and cover ups

I stopped at 30, had twins and stomach is shot.

I'm 52, slim, in good shape (same weight as HS). I still never had the proportions to look good in a bikini.

Actually, I haven't worn ANY swimsuit in at least 10 years, maybe when my older kid was in HS (she's 27).

I think adults should wear whatever type of swimsuit they want, regardless of age.

I do, because one piece suits look horrible on my figure. But they're pretty full coverage bikinis, often with an athletic cut.

Yes. Nothing wrong with it.

I wore two pieces until around 55 and even though my size hadn't changed, I felt like my stomach didn't look as good as it used to, which was disappointing because I have cellulite thighs no matter what size I am so my relatively okay looking stomach was my consolation! You can't hide cellulite thighs.

I've switched to two pieces but a tankini top. The biggest negative to me is that they feel very hot compared to a bra style top.

That's the same with me - I like a good modest cut bikini. Short waisted and one pieces never quite fit right. But honestly for me it's less about looks than that I don't want to have to get totally undressed when I want to pee.

I don't ever love walking around in just a swimsuit, though. I paddleboard and wear something over my bikini; I guess I strip down when I'm going in a pool. I'm sort of a never nude by nature.

Negative. I'm 54 and still look GREAT in a bikini. I have an athletic body though. I work out a lot.

I still look pretty young (40s). When I start to age, I will stop. I don't have any sagging anywhere.

Omg I looked amazing in my 40s

50s and I’m the only woman in my yoga class that has visible ab muscles.


Gross!


What's gross about ab muscles? I'm 55 and you see my abs too. It's called - working out.

I've been doing kettlebells for a year now, and soon I'll be in bikini shape

This is exactly what I was going to say.

That is ridiculous! I’m 48 and have no plans to stop anytime soon. I’m in great shape and will wear one until I don’t feel comfortable in one.

I am 50 and have a high waisted sort of vintage cut bikini I feel comfortable in but I am not feeling anything cut lower in the waist these days.

But not a skimpy triangle top and thong. Sports bra style and boy shorts for paddle boarding and other water sports.


This. I'm 60. Can't stand the way a one-piece feels.

I'm 54 and very fit. But I NEVER liked how I looked in a bikini.

I'm not sure what it is ... I'm a little bony on top but NEVER had a flat stomach, even before kids. I'm just happier and more comfortable in one-pieces.
