Bikini on holiday?

I'm going to a very hot country in three weeks time. I'd planned to lose quite s bit of weight and tone up a bit more but seem to have failed miserably apart from half a stone, tho I realise there is still time... just. I'm a size 16 and have a bit of an overhang and a very wobbly/fat tummy. Stressing out about what kind of swimwear to wear on hols as apparently I'll want to be living in it during the day. Bought one bikini with high waisted briefs but not sure if I'm brave enough to wear it. Would you?

Yes I would. I wear a 36GG top and size 20 bottoms in holiday and am never the biggest person in a bikini. Fuck it, I'll never meet them again so it doesn't matter

I live in a hot place where people spend a fair amount of time in swim wear. The women who stick out the most are those that try to cover themselves up with sarongs and muumuus rather than shrugging their shoulders and not caring about how they look. The majority of women here wear bikinis, and again those that wear a swim suit stand out far more

Go for it!

Do it. I took a tankini once and felt completely overdressed!

Rock that bikini!

I never wear them, but that’s only because my tummy burns like you wouldn’t believe 😂 I certainly wouldn’t bat an eye at anyone else wearing one :)

Will you be comfortable wearing it? If you will then go for it. The beaches are full of ladies & men All shapes and sizes so I would bat an eyelid at them. If you aren’t comfortable though, I’d stick to a one piece. You’re on your holidays so you want to relax and enjoy!

Wear it.

I think all adult women look equally silly in their knickers, whatever their shape. Boardshorts of whatever.length look better, keep the sun off and dry quickly.

Thanks all! Think I'll go for it... My tummy is pretty bad but I'm going to work my backside off over the next few weeks to see if I can make at least a bit of progress. At least the friend I'm going with has seen me naked 🤣
