Sporty thong back swimsuit

202 replies

24kPalamino · 01/11/2025 17:02

Looking for a swimsuit that isn’t too low cut, that has a sporty look and a thong bottom.
struggling to find something sporty enough.
If anyone has seen or purchased something like this, then I’d appreciate a recommendation.

Many thanks!

But why would you want a thong on a practical swimsuit?

HellonHeels · 01/11/2025 17:32

I think "sporty look" and "thong bottom" are mutually exclusive.

JustAMiddleAgedDirtBagBaby · 01/11/2025 17:33

Yes I don't think a sporty/practical swimsuit is ever going to have a thong cut.

PeonyPatch · 01/11/2025 17:33

I am also wondering why you want a thong bottom on a sporty swimsuit, can you explain?

Quite!

Trust us here OP - my young adult DD is very sporty and into all sorts of water sports and activities. The last thing she would want to do is risk flashing her anus and everything else! 😄

Thong swim suits🙄

Not sure about the thong back but there are some very high cut ones on Free People for example this one https://www.freepeople.com/uk/fpmovement/shop/rhythm-wave-break-one-piece-surf-suit/?color=407&searchparams=q%3Dswimsuit

Yes that’s very nice! Thank you.

Maybe give the tumble turns a swerve, OP.

Neil Ednie swimsuits are popular with a some of the female competitive swimmers I know (obviously not for competing in)

24kPalamino · 01/11/2025 17:52

For those asking it’s for paddle boarding. I want good support for movement of the arms and chest, but with maximum tanning.

The divers wear costumes with very little bum coverage, but still not sure they’re actually thongs.

24kPalamino · 01/11/2025 17:53

That is actually perfect. Really love this thank you.

Can you not just use fake tan? Tanning is really bad for your skin, even ignoring the increased risk of skin cancer.

I don’t mean a g-string, happy to have some coverage, but yes, those freediver costumes would be perfect.

Fake tan looks awful on me and doesn’t last. I enjoy being out in the sun.

If it's for tanning, what about the odd tans lines from the high neck and arm cuts on those styles suggested? Surely they are a lot more visible, more often, than your bum?

tillyandmilly · 01/11/2025 17:59

I hate seeing these bum cheek thong type exposing swimsuits totally inappropriate - we dont all want to see your bum exposed and why does it have to be tanned?

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 01/11/2025 18:03

The price of the red swimsuit 😂 It even looks saggy brand new on the model.

SparrowFeet · 01/11/2025 18:05

I think the model needs a bigger bum. Bet it wouldn't sag on me 😂

24kPalamino · 01/11/2025 18:07

I think some people are envisioning a micro bikini. That’s not what I’m after. I like the style free divers and synchronised swimmers wear. No full arms though obviously.

I find it so odd when people wear thong swimwear 😳 I really don’t want to see your bum cheeks

TwinklyWrinkly · 01/11/2025 18:53

This looks like a high-necked body over big 'ol period pants!

All this one will do is get stuck up your bum when you’re climbing back on the board and give you very weird tan lines on your chest. What are you hoping for it to support?
