OH bought me a thong bikini

[desparateidiot]

I am 46, I have lost a lot of weight recently and I am feeling really comfortable in my body atm. More than I have for years.

Going on holiday at the weekend and my DH (that stands for dickhead, right?) made a joke about me wearing a thong bikini bottom and jokingly I said yeah, thought we were messing about. I have actually bought myself 2 bikinis showing more flesh than I would have normally shown, but I literally sunbath, I don't walk around in just my bikini

DH (dickhead again, yeah?) only went on amazon and ordered me a black pair of bikini bottoms, more or less a thong 😱

Am I too old at 46 to bare more flesh? I would quite like the confidence to do this but in the back of my mind I'm like, anyone looking at me will be thinking old woman in a thong, is it not just for younger women with perfect figures, or is it acceptable?

I don’t think thongs look good on anyone, whatever age or size. The sight of a piece of thin material rubbing between someone’s buttocks is just not appealing.

I'm 48. I wear a thong bikini

I work out and am athletic looking so don't really care

I'm nobody should be walking around in a thong. Regardless of how good or bad, old or young they are.

Also I think they look bloody uncomfortable

Go live in that parallel universe then fgs

It’s up to you. Wear it if you want. Don’t wear it if you don’t.

and don’t feel pressured into wearing it just because he wants you to

Wear what you like. Personally I've always thought thong swimwear a tad unhygienic but maybe that's just me.

Try it on! See what you think. I swear by them after years of feeling uncomfortable with full coverage bikini bottoms digging in I tried a thong bikini and it was a revelation! I save the smaller ones for lazing by the pool during the day where it’s more private but even at the beach I wouldn’t wear a full coverage one now, on my body they are just so unflattering. DH loves it (obviously 🙄) and those are the only opinions that matter to me. If you’re uncomfortable though don’t wear it.

why are you taking it so seriously? If you don’t feel comfortable wearing it on the beach then strut around in it at home infront of your DH 😀

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Clearly some here have no problem with how amazing they think they look!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. In any aspect of life.

Thong bikinis look terrible on anyone.

I just had a holiday in croatia and was a bit surprised that really most women (of any age) were wearing thongs on the beach. I’ve holidayed in Scotland and Wales the last few years so hadn’t realised this has become ubiquitous - certainly they didn’t all have perfect 21 yr old physiques so just wear what you feel comfortable in!

Thongs do appear to be ubiquitous at the moment but my personal feeling is that irrespective of your age or body I don’t want to see your arse. I especially don’t want to see your undercarriage when you’re bending over or lying on or getting up from a sunbed and unfortunately it’s happened quite a lot over the past couple of years. So if you go for it please make sure the gusset covers your labia.

Lol, wear it if you like it.
Nobody would think anything.
You will get an all over tan.
You can throw on a beach cover up to walk around, if you do not feel like walking around so.
Me, I hate thongs, I find them very uncomfortable.

You have posted about this before. The exact same thing.

I think it is a matter of body shape. Thongs are very uncomfortable for me, but I rarely get the more coverage ones wedged in. They are great to get a full tan though.

I thought it sounded familiar too

Wear it! I think he obviously thinks you'll look fab in them and also doesn't mind anyone else seeing either. You get that better tan why not.

You could just wear it for him. I think he’s telling you that you look great and that he fancies you. It’s a nice problem to have.

I absolutely can't stand men buying women clothes unprompted, but it actually sounds like he was trying to do a nice thing here.

But no, I wouldn't wear a thong at your age.

@ThePrologue not a bad thing to feel positive about how I look, surely?! And what everyone else thought, well, who cares? I thought every body was a beach body these days...

Hmmm well, for what it's worth I think it's not the worst thing that he bought it. When I went to Greece last year there were arses everywhere, walking about, in cafes. Then they started with the crochet dresses with thongs. DH's eyes were nearly popping out of his head and DS10 was walking along with his hand at the side of his face saying oh dear, oh dear.

Might just be me but I think you should wear what you want within reason. By within reason I mean that if it would make a child uncomfortable because it’s so revealing then it’s probably not ok. Unless of course it’s an adult only area.

I think it’s quite sweet that he bought that for you. He obviously finds you attractive and thinks you have a great body. I personally wouldn’t be wearing one, though!

My mam is in her sixties and wears thongs. Each to their own
