Real, not snarky question

momtoboys · 2025-07-09T18:19:36+00:00

Posting here because of the previous thread about thong bikinis. Now let me point out that in NO time in my life have I had the figure to wear a thong bikini. I have nothing against them but I do wonder what the appeal is. If you are proud of your body and want to show off as much of it as possible, I get that. I can also understand wearing thong knickers for the no line look. But why wear a thong bikini? Is it cooler (as in temperature)? If it more comfortable than a normal bikini? Is it easier to swim in? You want your fanny tanned? I am asking a sincere question.

I think it's mostly to have one's arse on display.
Not a criticism - get your bum out if you like. Wish mine was up to the task.

It's only women who say they don't look good?

Er what? Have you heard the way men talk about women's bodies? They criticise everything while they think they look like some Adonis rather the the dollop of blamange they actually resemble.

Also dollop of blamange made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣

I recently wore a Brazilian bikini every day for 2 weeks on a European holiday. The only negative snarls and one comment I had was from morbidly obese women.

yes I realise men speak badly about women all the time. But I've never experienced any negative comments from a man towards a woman wearing a Brazilian bikini. Just personal experience.

To everyone saying 'things never look good' would you say the same to someone who's morbidly obese with cauliflower legs wearing a basic swim suit? You know full well that people can look good in thongs. You may not look good, but some people do with good figures.

note, it's only women who say they don't look good too. Funny that.

'Do you want your fanny tanned'

😂😂😂

Lollypop701 · 13/07/2025 11:51

Don’t care either way but I don’t find thongs comfortable personally, oh and definitely not got the body for them either.

however I would prefer not to sit on a seat recently vacated by a thong Wearer if they haven’t covered up to go to a beach bar….

I used to wear a Brazilian bikini which showed a lot of bum cheek

I looked great if I was young and had the figure I had I would be wearing a thong bikini at outdoor pools and at the beach

Deadringer · 12/07/2025 10:33

When I first started going abroad in my teens in the late 80s I saw quite a lot of men in thongs. Always middle aged, very tanned medallion men types, put me off them for life. I hate seeing butt cheeks on display, of any age or gender, but they do seem to be fashionable right now so I will just have to avert my gaze.

YANBU. I consider arses a private part of the body. I don't want to see anyone's arse in public, regardless of the shape or size of it. I'm aware that these days that makes me a prude, but not so long ago it was just common sense.

I really trying to avoid this answer sounding sexist, but there’s a bit of a difference between a female bottom in a thong and a male one, they aren’t really designed to cover much to start with and do you really want to see not only hairy men’s arses but their bits barely held in by the strip at the front and dangling down as you view from behind.I mean if you do, fine, encourage men to wear them too

I don’t want to see anyone’s bum.

I think you misinterpreted my post. I like the fact men don’t expose their arses on a beach, I’m not saying it’s unfair they don’t.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 12/07/2025 08:52

Are you American OP? Because ‘fanny’ in the U.K. does not mean bottom/arse/ass!

Sadcafe · 12/07/2025 08:50

BunnyLake · 12/07/2025 08:38

Yes but why is it always the women who are showing their bits? Guys my sons’ age group (twenties) wear swim shorts when they're on the beach, which practically go down to their knees.

I’ve worn thong undies for about ten minutes and I was so conscious of them I went back to my big undies.

The pearl clutching about the swimmers I find ludicrous though. Every negative comment is something my grandma would have said about my tankinis in the 90, and what her grandmother would have said about her (quite full coverage) bikinis in the 60s.

Except of course that neither woman would have called another woman ‘skanky’ or similar, as they were not misogynists.

Hibernatingtilspring · 12/07/2025 08:32

I don't think I'd wear one myself (opportunity would be nice, I don't get out much!) I do have Brazilian friends though who I know think our typical style of bikini is really weird, and told me they call them 'nappies' because that's what they look like! I guess it depends on what is your normal!

MsNevermore · 11/07/2025 19:35

I wear one on adults-only holidays in southern Europe 🤷🏻‍♀️
I also sunbathe topless if I’m in a place where that’s culturally accepted.

Minimises tanlines 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

If I’m on holiday with my DCs in a family resort where I know I’m going to be splashing about in the pool, going down water slides, running around on the beach with them etc, then I want full arse coverage.

MissAmbrosia · 11/07/2025 19:30

Less anyone sees of my arse the better. When we were on holiday in May I saw a woman come from the beach, put on her totally see-through kaftan thing and then bend over to put her flip flops on. My eyes! Only a gynae needs a view like that.

I wear my thong bikinis with pride. I have a good figure and I love the minimal tan lines.

the women on here clutching their pearls just don't like the fact their husbands are probably fapping over women in bikinis on the internet and take it out on folk with good figures and thong bikinis to make themselves feel better while they wear a tent to the beach

I’m voluntarily single now. No husband or bloke to be getting arsey with (s’cuse the pun).

Personally I’d have no interest in random husbands ‘fapping’ over me in a thong bikini, they could be very unattractive, greasy, creepy slimeballs, they’re not all going to be gorgeous hunks salivating at the sight of your bare bum. I clutch my pearls with pride thank you very much.
