to wear a bikini when plus size?

[PlaymobilPirate]

Size 16 with a really horrible overhang/ apron belly. I have lovely bikini tops from Bravissimo but usually wear them under a tankini but it gets so hot on holidays! Would you??

No

I don't and I'm smaller. I'm quite prudish/ self conscious probably

I would and I have. Where are you off to? I was about a 14-16 in a bikini in Ibiza and wasn't close to the biggest one there.

I do and I’m a lot more plus size than you are! Can you get some high waist bottoms to contain your “apron”?

YANBU. Nobody cares, they won't look or notice. Be comfortable.

Personally no, but that is my own issue.
I certainly don’t judge others that do, and would probably admire your confidence.

Yes if you fancy it - life is for living. If you’re on Facebook maybe have a look at Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, she has some good stuff on this.

Ywnbu. Wear what you like

Go for it!

How to get a bikini body?

Put a bikini on your body

I do. I'm size 16-18. I alternate between bikini tops, tankini, shorts, briefs, skirts, swimming costumes.

I do. I favour the pour moi ones, excellent "hoikability " in the bra and big pants a la 50's sort of style. Be comfortable, you're beautiful, your body serves you well. ☀️

Yes! I do. Get a great, good quality bikini you feel happy in. No one is looking and if they do, fuck them.

If you’re happy to wear one then go for it. Maybe have a look for bottoms that give better coverage? Hold your tummy in. Nobody really cares in holiday about other people.

Completely depends on whether you would feel comfortable! I’m probably similar to you and I don’t have a problem wearing a bikini! Go for it - as long as you want to and you’re not worrying about what people think

In fact when it was hot a few weeks ago and I took the DC to the beach in England I was in bikini bottoms and my t-shirt knotted on just under my boobs. Nobody batted an eyelid, so far as I could see, and fuck them if they did

YANBU

Wear what you want. Have a great time.

It’s your body - be proud!! Find something with a decent fit and go for it!

I have been up and down the scales in. T adult life and have never felt more gorgeous in a size 18 emerald bikini!!

If you feel comfy do what you want.
I know sometimes having a belly you feel comfier in a tankini, but it’s whatever works for you

I'd DEFINITELY buy big pants to cover what I can (recommendations would be amazing!) I'd never whap my actual overhang out 🙈

Next has some decent roll top bikini bottoms, which are excellent for disguising lower tummy flump. The tops are in bra sizes too which is a bonus.

Flipping heck, I've holidayed in Greece, Spain, Italy, France, no one gives a flying f**k. You'll look great.

If you feel comfortable, go for it. As long as it fits properly and doesn’t look like you’ve squeezed into it, it will be fine.

Roll top sounds awful, it's more like a folded over top that gives some ruching type camouflage.

Have you watched the Sainsbury's ad featuring diverse women?

There is a woman about a size 16 wearing a green swimming costume and she looks amazing.

If you want to wear a bikini then wear one with confidence and enjoy your holiday.

Just get some nice bottoms, and why not? Depending on how tall you are, board shorts, 50s style high waist, or the ones with skirt attached are flattering (and probably others I don’t know about :)
