Wearing a skimpy bikini around teenage son

[Behappyandbehave]

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

"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?

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

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

Just no

It may be ok to 'teach' your children that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, but ther's decorum and class to teach also.
No middle-aged person looks good in a bikini (be that a 'skimpy' or 'full-sized [as if there is a deifference] bikini, no matter their size.

Eeerrrggghhhhhhhhhhh
Oh my god, you went there!!!!
My eyes! This image is seared upon them - I need wine and bleach

Haven’t RTFT, but I’m a big fan of skimpy bikinis, including thong bikinis (though I go for Brazilian style than g-string).

Why? I have a great bottom so they look good and I think the tan lines are sexier with a skimpy bikini.

And the phrase 'an adult holiday' is not an image we need at 6.24am!!
This thread has me traumatised and I'm only on page 1...

There is no obligation for people to wear clothes that other people think "look good". Why can they not just be wearing clothes that they're comfortable and happy in.

I think there is more decorum and class in teaching children to not be so judgemental.

Really?? Tell that to the young ladies who were on holiday in Sri Lanka this Feb when DH and i were on holiday. Poor DH couldn't look anywhere without an arse cheek in his face.

I am 47 and whilst I wear a bikini without a second thought I would not want my arse on show especially in front of my kids.

That’s just not true, plenty of middle aged women look great in a bikini, and if they don’t, so what, it’s no one’s business but theirs. I’d rather people felt comfortable and happy in their skin rather than perpetuating some of the ageist and sexist attitudes on this horrid thread that women over 25 should cover up.

Oh we do care, it's just that if one walksxaround muttering about seeing everyone's next tuesday, these 'goddesses' and 'adonises' tend to get a bit upset!
That's why I try for more civilised holidays

TMI

Don’t do it to your son! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Side note: I saw a young lady in a thong bikini on my last holiday who had an undeniably well toned bottom BUT unbeknownst to her, a few bum spots. Possibly as a result of nothing but holiday buffet, ice cream, and beer for a week. When you do decide on the “big reveal”, be sure to do a spot check!

Size 26 or aged 26??!

That does not mean they’d be comfortable with you letting it all hang out , or your DH being naked, around other people on the beach.

No, it isn't just a bum
Why should everone else have to look at what the OP clearly thinks is going to titivate her husband?
Sick of the whole I can do whatever I damn well like and you can piss off even if my behaviour is offensive, rude, classless or just revolting' brigade

I’m sure you look great and well done but honestly unless you are in super amazing model-esque shape thong bikinis are not nice for everyone else.. I think it’s a bit much infront of the kids too!
