To ask for some bikini pics

16 replies

Evening all, my daughter has just turned 15 and has asked for a bikini for next summer. The one she has shown me is a little too revealing in my opinion (plungey and holey!) but I don’t know if it’s me just being a bit too old fashioned.

Could I ask you to post any links or pictures of what your own teenagers are wearing bikini wise please? (Before anyone shouts at me, I don’t actually mean pics of your daughters wearing them IYSWIM !!) I just want ideas of what is deemed acceptable and age appropriate please.

No

My dd is 15 and doesn’t like bikinis as she finds them too skimpy and worries about them shifting about in the sea or the pool. She likes a classic swimsuit.
My 17 year old likes bikinis with structured bra tops that feel secure, and big pants.

Hi, OP. We hope you don't mind but we've moved your thread to our Style & Beauty board - just to avoid people shouting at you, as you said in your post!

Please show me pictures your adolescent daughters basically in a state of undress? I wonder how this will go.

This will vary so much with every teen that wears a bikini.

@midsomermurderess I have tried to make it clear this is NOT what I am asking for. I have been on various websites to look for ideas, but they all seem too advanced age wise for her. I just don’t know where to look for age appropriate ones.

Thank you @SirVixofVixHall Is there a particular shop she gets them from?

From Bravissimo as bra sized, similar to this but not this style, and she is less busty that the model so it isn’t as exposing.
My 15 year old wouldn’t wear this though. Most of her friends wear one pieces not bikinis, and like the sporty type with little legs.

Or you could try reading the OP which clearly says 'pictures or links of bikinis' not of dds wearing bikinis

Thank you @SirVixofVixHall That’s really helpful. I’ve used Bravissimo myself in the past but never even thought about it for swimwear!

And thank you @pocketvenuss also - good to know some people have read the OP!

Weird you've replied on two zombie threads to let us know your daughter likes thongs?!
