Would you wear a bikini aged 44?

[ymemanresu]

Size 12-14 5 foot 6 weighing 11 stones?

Ive bought 2 along with tankinis anyway but just wanted others' honest opinions please.

Big boobs and curvy bum, fat belly though 😩 . Ive lost 18 pounds but can still grab 2 handfuls of fat on my middle.

I walk 5 miles every day, got mum bingo wings and need botox but i think for 44 i don't look too bad.

What do you think?

Yes

I wear one at 62 but age appropriate....no thongs.

Yes! Of you want to, then do it

Have you ever been to a beach before? 😄 have you seen all the different shapes and sizes people come in and that most people dont give a damn! I know that sounds easy for me to say, but just wear the bikini and enjoy your holiday.

Yes, and I’m MUCH fatter than you. No shits given.

I also like tankini shorts and tops.

Size and shape is irrelevant, I’ve always preferred a 2 piece due to ease of going to the loo! Same for my dds when they were little.

I think it's about how you feel. If you feel happy and comfortable in it then you'll enjoy yourself, if you feel uncomfortable and worry people are judging you then you won't.

no

I have not worn a bikini since I was 7

I HATE my belly, but its even worse after kids

Yes.

Wear the bikini, be happy with your body. There will always be someone thinner and someone larger.

Congrats on your weight loss

If I liked them, I would wear them. I prefer tankinis, I like a bit more coverage but that's not age or size related, I just don't like having to intimately remove hair to wear swimwear

Yes I'm going to this year!

Yes, bigger and older than you but with underwire and full coverage knickers!

You don’t have to!

I wear one in my 60s. If you want to wear it, it's fine to wear it.

Wear what you want and ignore everyone else!

I lost 4 stone and am a size 8 but can still grab stomach fat- just the way I am made after a c section. I wear a bikini regardless of my stomach fat.

I'm in my 50s and fat and I wear one. Can't be doing with the faffing of trying to use the bathroom while wearing a damp costume. Everything is about ease of use and sod the opinions of others these days.

Yes. Because my 45 year old size 16 body likes being in a bikini and its no-one elses business.

Spent years avoiding them, bought one because it was a great deal and very pretty. Guess what happened when I wore it - nothing at all. Turns out no-one gives a fuck, which is lucky as neither do I.

Wear the bikini and have a lovely time.

Yes! You are exactly the same age and height / weight as Me. I definitely would if my tummy wasn't absolutely covered in wrinkly stretch marks and baggy skin

Yes, I wish I had when I was 44!

now 55 and much fatter & wobblier & some nasty scars from an op now too. Board shirts & long tankini top all the way!!

Nothing to do with age or shape. Everything to do with what you feel good in.

I'm late 50s. I wear a bikini. I was a little bigger 5 years ago and I didn't wear a bikini because I didn't like my rolls on display. But that's me. My preference. Nothing to do with my age or what others thought. Much like I prefer not to have my boobs out and like higher waisted jeans. Just preference.

Absolutely

Go to Spain or Italy and there are 90 yo nonne wearing them. Do what feels right and do it with confidence.

@Notellinganyone should have been more clear, I don't want to remove or show any pubic hair when wearing swimwear

Yes. I wear what I feel comfortable in. I've got huge boobs, a wobbly belly and thighs, I'm 54, and I don't give a toss what anyone thinks when they look at me on a beach or by the pool.
