Wearing a skimpy bikini around teenage son

I'm late 40's and have recently lost alot of weight. I have treated myself to some new bikinis for an upcoming beach holiday and some are thong styles. I did originally buy the thong ones for when me and DH go away later in the year alone. But every holiday I go on abroad there is so many people younger and older than me showing all their bums! When I was a teen it was rare, but not anymore. Just not sure I'm brave enough or if it would be a massive no with adult/teen children! Wwyd?

I just think thongs look so unhygienic. Bikinis and underwear. Wouldn't like to be responsible for laundering them.
Look uncomfortable too.

There are none so prudish as teenagers.

Do what you like!

why would it be inappropriate?

what I think is appropriate is teaching children bodies come in all shapes and size and ages and we shouldn’t be ashamed of any of them.

lol. Do you have a teen?!?

I think the trend for thong bikinis is awful, whatever your figure and whether you have teenage kids to embarrass or not. They just look horrendous. Not classy.

I definitely would not wear a thong bikini in front of my children, but I wouldn't wear one anyway because I find them absurd.

My teens would die of embarrassment.

My son would die of cringe if I did this to him. Why would you?
