Wearing a skimpy bikini around teenage son

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Thongs are horrible. They’re trashy to me. No one wants to see their mum’s arse, whether you’re teen or not.

"DH would love it"

... and there's the problem.

Thongs are an overtly sexualised item of clothing.

There's nothing wrong with wearing whatever you want to (or don't want to) wear in front of teens/ children. There's nothing wrong with bodies, we all have them.

The problem with the thong is that it symbolises sex, which isn't a great message for your child. Why would you want them to see you in that way?

On holiday now and most people have thong bikinis. Young and old. I think wear whatever the hell you want.

I remember going to a holiday as a teen with my boyfriends family and his mum sunbathed topless 🙈 Sooooo I guess you do what your comfortable with. My sister wears them and her kids do not care. It depends on you and your children. I wouldn't feel comfortable myself. I wear a bikini and don't always feel comfortable in that but I think that's an age thing now I'm in early 40's even though I'm still ok to wear one. Tbh it supports me better than a swimming costume.

It’s a no from me, I wouldn’t want to make my teen son uncomfortable, and I’m sure it would.

I don't know why everyone is so offended by seeing an arse. Just look away if you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to be staring up some poor women's crack.

And no, I don't wear them. Simply because I don't have the confidence, especially after reading this thread and seeing that the majority of people as are sitting around on holiday and judging the wobbliness of other people's bits. I think they look great on other women though and I'm glad they have the body confidence to wear what they like.

Embarrassing to say "treat myself" just say you got yourself bikinis they aren't a LV bag

Yes, it's dreadful. OP would be best to just make her own mind up.

Not keen on them myself but people wear all sorts on holiday and I've seen the thong type worn by all ages. Teens being prudish is news to me as my DDs were wearing this type of bikini on holiday with us last year. They could hardly object to my wearing this style if I wanted to.

😂

Nothing to do with whether the teen in question is a son. Mine’s a girl and would die of humiliation if I wore a thong in public in her presence. “Cringe.”

I think the only thing is that they might be a bit embarrassed. Or very embarrassed perhaps!

I don’t personally like thing bikinis but that’s just personal taste.

Common.
Thong bikinis are common.

Thongs look cringe regardless of shape or age. I've a great body and a weight lifters arse. I wouldn't be seen dead in a thong 🤮
Nobody want to see your arse

I thought I was the only one shocked at how vile & ageist these comments are. Fucking hell, women really do hate other women don’t they…?

I just don't think dental floss in a crack is a good look on anyone teenage eyes or not

Jesus Christ people need to get a grip. How fucking prudish and not to mention rather old fashioned. Ahem.

Wear what you like. We don't do that 'youre too old' shit any more. It's sexist and crude. Nobody will care. It's just a body.

If you're concerned about feeling vulnerable bring a wrap around skirt to to round your waist etc.

You're only 5 years older than me and I look fucking gorgeous in a bikini. Don't spend any time on what anybody else thinks.

Teenage son can get over it. He doesn't get to dictate what anybody else wears. He's your son for Christ sake you squeezed him out of your vagina, I'm sure he can tolerate seeing you in a bikini.

Anger?! Er, no. Insecurity?! No to that too. I am neither angry or insecure just because I have no wish to see peoples exposed bums on the beach! Many other people on this thread have expressed similar views. Are they angry and insecure too in your mind? Most also agree that wearing a thong bikini in front of a teenage son - is inappropriate because they really don't want or need to see that much of their mum. I have nothing against a bikini, tankini or swimsuit. Wear a thong bikini if you want, just because i don't want to see it doesn't prevent you from wearing it. In reality, i don't care that much and was simply sharing my views in response to the Op. Don't go assuming people are angry and insecure because their views don't align with yours. You actually do sound a bit angry...

Peter Stringy Hairfellow!!!!
I’d completely forgotten about him 🤣

@Iaskedyouthrice I get what you mean but everyone is just answering specifically about thong bottoms not normal bikini bottoms plus the fact her teenage son will be in the vacinity, I think that's more why people are saying "god no don't!!!! " & in fact many have said save them for your holiday with your husband

Definitely take it with you. Tell your son that if he doesn't behave during the holiday you'll wear it.

It'll be the best holiday you've ever had.

(But god, don't wear it)

We are not talking about just a bikini, though. It's clear we are discussing thong bikinis, where your entire arse and crack are on full display. Quite a difference.

Oh I agree that people are entitled to their own opinions @Scorchio84it I just find it very sad that the very idea of a woman having a fab body and having no qualms about wearing a bikini, triggers such a response.
Some posters have been polite, some haven't. A few obviously think very little of themselves and that's shit for them but I do wish they wouldn't come on threads about women's clothing choices and be vile. That's just my opinion though.

😂 well the crack will be covered but not the bum flaps
