AIBU?

To wear my bikini in the garden

I’ll start of by saying - it’s probably not a pretty sight! Lockdown overeating means I’m pretty “wobbly”.
But ... it’s just so bloody hot - and it’s the bikini I bought for the holiday I should be on.
Neighbours could probably see me if they happen to look out of back bedrooms.
So - Aibu to be wearing my bikini in the garden

It's acceptable wear for a beach where anyone could see so I wouldn't give it a second thought. Enjoy the sun and don't forget the sunscreen.

Vitamin D the natural way is good for you. Just don't stay out too long.

It’s my bikini I bought for holiday this year - so am pretending today is my holiday... have dh spraying me with the “mist” setting on the hose to bring some authenticity 😂

@whiplashy their eyes may not melt - but they want to bleach them if they see me Grin

At the time of my post, 103% of people had voted YANBU. That's pretty much an overwhelming vote in your favour.

Get the bikini out and enjoy the sun.

Hot?! If got a jumper on as im cold!

But go ahead, your place! My friend will wear her bikini in the greenhouse if its sunny, but too windy to stay outside 😂

why not? 3 weeks to peak UV though, so unless you want to be bright red with white bra and knicker marks, plenty of suncream and not just once a day.

That’s really a shame that you can’t just be comfortable in your own garden on a sunny day without thinking about your neighbours and worrying about your body Sad
Own your body, remind yourself that your neighbours have no right to think anything - and if they do, that’s no concern of yours - and get out there.

I get in and out of my hot tub naked and my body is not a delight.

If the neighbours can see then I should imagine they’d look away 😂

I’ve been going topless in mine. If it disturbs any passersby they can look the other way.

I own 2 bikinis. Never worn them anywhere BUT the garden! Don't have the nerve to wear them on the beach!

@TheHighestSardine So don't take it.

A lot of people are deficient, which is not great, and sunlight is the best source. As the NHS says, “Most people can make enough vitamin D from being out in the sun daily for short periods with their forearms, hands or lower legs uncovered and without sunscreen from late March or early Aprilto the end of September, especially from 11am to 3pm.”
