Wear one if you want! I'm younger, shorter and about the same size. I personally wouldn't wear one.

Bikini, tankini, one piece, cover-ups, etc. Just be you and just be comfortable. Why wear a bikini if you are worried about what you look like and possibly end up using cover-ups each time to the beach. After delivering full term twins in my 5'5 110 lb body I became very self concious about my stretched out belly and extra skin since our motherly bellies aren't made of elastic and doesn't go back to tight. My hubby would die for me to wear a bikini, but in my mind ... no way! So we agreed that if I'm comfy in a tankini, so be it ... but ... to keep his eyes from wandering to the tight abed young ones, I found a top that flatters my chest (a part of my body that I am confident with and he really likes). He loves it and I'm comfy and his eyes are on me ... well, most of the time ... guys will be guys I suppose. So go on and find a suit that is comfy and flatters the parts you are confident about. You sound like a tall atractive female ... flaunt by all means, but be comfy doing so!!

Just do what feels right- don't worry about the rest!!

I am 32, 5'3" and 113lbs. I have had children and have no stretch marks. I don't wear bikinis! I know I would look good, I just like to be more covered up. I wear really sexy tankinis, that may be more covered up but in my opinion are much hotter than most bikinis I've seen.

To each his own, don't waste your time wondering what others think looks good, focus on what makes YOU feel good!

Interesting choice of words you use - "repulses". But borrowing your term the type of women that "repulses" me in a bikini are the ones with:

Flabby cottage cheesy stomach
Stomach stretch marks that look like a mapquest road screenshot
Pot belly
Pot back (like a pot belly but back fat)
Pot sides (like a pot belly but side fat)
Stomach that is larger (in inches) than hips
Stomach skin that looks like orange peels (orange dimples)
Any dark hair around the belly button

Yep. Those stray strands of hair around and just below the belly button are a huge turnoff.

Oobie how are things going with the swimsuit hunting?

I would LOVE to have a bit more "up top", but, alas, us small-framed women don't always get that benefit! Wear your bikini! If your hubby likes it--that's all that counts!
Count your blessings. I have more on top, and I think it's a waste. The only benefit to my oversized breasts is that at least they protrude more than my gut!

What guy 'wouldnt' like bikinis on women? AS long as she can fit into it pretty decent there probably arent too many who 'dont' like them.

This is the funniest thing I've read on here. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I love the pot back and the pot sides!! LMAO

Default Wear It!

There is nothing more sexy than than the woman who dresses to please their man. I don't care if you are size 3 or size 30. Bikini's say, I feel good about myself, I want you.
