Butt on display at lunch in south of France

I am currently having lunch in a beach restaurant and a girl with a lovely toned body is wearing a tiny thong with full ass on display. This seems to be a fashion thing and there are lots of women wearing the same cheese cutter! People are staring and some women are laughing. I find it a horrible trend and I am wondering what others think.

Disgusting. Gross in either gender. I hate it when people say 'stop policing women's clothes' about this kind of stuff. I'm a strong feminist and I certainly would police men's clothes if they dressed like that.

Some women are staring and laughing ….

i hope that’s not you OP

there is a real person attached to that bum -
a real woman with feelings -
it might not be everyone’s taste of dress but publicly laughing at someone is not cool

Oh God...I'll have to go and do some work...I can't tell the serious posts from the send-ups now.

Or course it is.

She's literally started this thread 'for a bit of fun' (her words).

Sigh.

The airport one was wearing a bikini top and very short soft shorts stuck in her bum. The train one had been to an “event” and looked, actually, grubby.

The sight of both is seared in my eyeballs.

No, I don’t want to see bums - male or female, young or old, anywhere except a beach or swimming pool.

I wasn’t laughing my husband wasn’t perving and the girl was oblivious. It was a light hearted post jeez 🥴

Why?

You either clean your arse properly or you don't?

Mine is perfectly clean!🙂

And in any case, I can't stand the feel of a thong so its a non-issue for me. But I do look at others and wonder ...

Laurmolonlabe · 11/08/2026 16:56

Unpleasant, particularly when eating, but their choice i guess.

A 'light hearted' way of trying to get the women on here to slate this woman's choice of swimwear.

There really is hardly a single post from you that isn't judging her.

Nothing on here is a light-hearted post these days.

All the thong wearers are taking umbrage!

I wasn't talking about you.

I was answering your rather bizarre posts about women with shit on their arses.

It makes no difference what they have on their bottom half if they don't clean properly.

But that said, I'm not encouraging any more of this talk given how odd some posters are on that subject.

If you'd just owned the fact you wanted to bitch about the woman you would've got a bit more support.

It's the pretending you're not judging her when almost every post from you is judging her that's quite frankly ridiculous.

I'm not. I'm firmly in the if you've got it, flaunt it camp but I don't flaunt it in a beach restaurant. I'd cover up. I might go to the bar if it was outside and genuinely on beach.

CoffeeCantata · 11/08/2026 16:49

I'm with you, MaturingCheeseball.

It's hilarious but (pun absolutely intended) on MN many pps just love a bare backside on show, for some reason I can't fathom.

Anyone raising an eyebrow is either 'perving' (if a man) or mocking, if a woman. And God help that any woman of 50 should comment - outrageous!

Peak MN.

For me, it's the possibility of poo residue which I don't want on a public (I'll avoid any further near-puns) seat. Call me old fashioned.

I also wonder why attemting to silence the judgers actually helps.

They must know the judgers are still judging ...🤐🍑👙

Some people don't like the look of a thong-clad (or unclad) bum. That's how it is.
