To think you don't need to tan your bum cheeks so thongs around the swimming pool are pointless

On holiday, thongs and arse cheeks everywhere around the pool and beach.

Why do you need to tan your bum cheeks?

You don't really need to tan anywhere though do you?
Maybe they like the gentle breeze across their arse?Grin

I think people just like how it feels.

Not me, mind. Wink

You don't need to tan your bum, but some people like it.
Ignore it if it upsets you.

LedaP · 15/06/2017 05:45

I know people who insist thongs are more comfortable. I have never found that. I hate them.

But tbh if other people want to wear them its up them. They are only bum cheeks. Doesnt bother me to see them.

Nobody needs a tan anywhere

tanfield90 · 15/06/2017 08:30

Missb00. Are you talking about men or women ? Or both ??

AntiopeofThemyscira · 15/06/2017 08:31

Hard to ignore arses everywhere though isn't it? Whenever you look up from your book there they are!

RoseVase2010 · 15/06/2017 08:32

Where are you?!

No one needs to tan any part of their body.

It's the first sign that your skin is under attack and, form the health POV, better avoided altogether.

The extra square inches of skin between that might be exposed depending on cut of swimsuit won't make any big difference to risk.

LanaKanesLeftNippleTassle · 15/06/2017 08:34

Why are people on MN so obsessed with other peoples arses?? Hmm

No, you don't need to tan your butt cheeks, but you don't need to tan anywhere.

I love the air on my arse so yah boo to you!

I'd rather be naked tbh but I'm not allowed, so I'll stick to a tiny thong bikini!

TheNaze73 · 15/06/2017 08:35

Live & let live. If anybody offends you, turn the other cheek Wink

Stressedoutmumofone · 15/06/2017 08:36

I wish I had i an arse worth showing off in a thong bikini!

Looneytune253 · 15/06/2017 08:37

They may feel more confident naked if the tan is almost all over. The tan lines from full bottoms looks a lot harsher. Not for me either mind.

TiggyD · 15/06/2017 08:50

But I like to tan my cheeks. Like in this picture of PigletJohn (left), Pan (centre), and me (right), on holiday last year.

Shockers · 15/06/2017 08:53

Where was that then, Tiggy? The sea looks nice.

TiggyD · 15/06/2017 08:54

On a beach near Fort William in the Highlands.

Shockers · 15/06/2017 08:55

There are worse bits of bodies to go on show. At least bums are pleasantly rounded and smooth.

Shockers · 15/06/2017 08:56

Bracing! Grin

Ridingthegravytrain · 15/06/2017 09:05

Fewer tan lines the better imo

WhatWouldGenghisDo · 15/06/2017 09:35

It's to do with your arse shape. Pre-kids I genuinely found thongs more comfortable. Now that just seems insane not as pert as I was

Gooseygoosey12345 · 15/06/2017 10:02

Maybe she does need to because she's a stripper Grin
No I don't really get it tbh, and no one would want to see my dimply bum anyway

Whatthefoxgoingon · 15/06/2017 10:11

Your arse is just as I imagined Tiggy Grin

OliveSoap · 15/06/2017 10:13

Why are there so many threads about buttocks today???

Ethylred · 15/06/2017 10:44

Thursday innit. Gearing up for the full monty of bumsex Friday.

DioneTheDiabolist · 15/06/2017 10:47

OMG Tiggy, this is just how I imagined you all. I must be psychic.Grin
