Guys.. do you dig bikinis?
Alright, here's the deal. Im 31,5'10 and a size 10. I have thin legs, small behind, but a little tummy and hips. I have a nice chest (too big in my opinion) that isn't fake, and could be held a little better in a 2 piece.. Of course, my husband says he thinks I look fine in a 2 piece (note, not great or hot but fine). We've been married for 3 years and have a 2YO, and I have gained about 25 lbs since we met. Im very uncomfortable in a 2 piece mostly because I see so many thin, smaller chested woman around. Their are many also my age, that haven't had children, and work out. Im not fat, and don't have any stretch marks from my pregnancy, just a tummy (not even a huge one), and I carry alot of my weight on top... Im not looking for approval, I just want the opinion of some guys. What kind of woman repulses you in a bikini and what do you like to see?? Give your age too so I know if you'd be a peer : ) THANKS!

I'm 37. I like bikinis...they show off a lot. However, it's rare that I see anyone over the age of 25 wearing one, and those women don't really appeal to me...anymore. I'd wish my girlfriend would wear one.

I'm 53 with 2 grown kids! 5'4" 120lbs--I wear a bikini all the time! Sure, the skin isn't as tight as when I was 20, but I'm not disgusting! I've seen tons of women in bikinis who look alot worse than I do! I do my crunches so my tummy has some definition and it sure is more comfy than a 1 piece suit!
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!

Go to Europe and see who's wearing bikinis there! They're not all 22 year old pilates teachers....some (male and female!) are old, overweight and saggy and they wear them comfortably and with pride. It's all about what YOU want to wear and what makes you feel good. Alot of women like to be able to pull off the bottoms easily to go to the bathrrom or like the support of a one piece. Some have waists they like to show off. If you want to wear one...go for it!

I agree. Women should wear what feels comfortable in going to the beach. Nobody needs to hide under a suit. It's the beach! Everybody needs to get some sun, not just the skinny people. There are options for women on the heavy end, like a two piece shorts/tank top combo. But if you want to wear bikini, go for it. You might get a few looks, but your comfort should come first.

And, remember--you look thinner with a tan! So if you wear a 1 piece suit, when you take it off, that stomach will be stark white--and look larger than it really is!

I think you should post pictures of what you are thinking of wearing. Then we tell you whether to do it or not. But most important regardless of what some people may believe there will always be someone that finds you HOT. So remember always carry yourself with pride.

I always make sure I have a coverup that really covers.
CANCER is NOT sexy.
