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!

Not read the whole thread, but wouldn't it be easier to buy separates? A thong bottom and then a tankini on top?

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

There does seem to be a trend for women showing their arse. I can't think of a worse part of your body to burn than the bit you sit on.

came back from holiday yesterday (Cyprus). De rigeur now to have your arse out especially from 18 onwards. It's becoming the norm now. Saw one young lady just walking around the seat front shops looking at beach tat with her cheeks out

So no recommendations to help OP then?
Just moaning? Helpful for a S and B page. 😆

Having arse cheeks out will never really be style, that's the point. What's conditioned folk to think it is?

Some of the dresses, shoes, jumpers etc suggested when people ask for ideas on here are hideous but at least they are recommendations.

The point is its a style and beauty page where some has asked for recommendations and people are wittering on about everything else other than where to buy that style costume.

She didnt ask if she was being unreasonable to get her arse out (AIBU) or have a discussion if a throngs are a great idea when paddleboarding ( chat, )

I way responding to your specific comment regarding style.

Well its not my style, but there's plenty of beaches in the world where it is the epitome of style ( apparently, ) To go into whats conditioned folk is hijacking the thread. Its a separate topic.

It's maybe popular, it's not style.

EstherGreenwood63 · 03/11/2025 13:16

Truly, it looks dreadful. No matter how 'peachy' the arse.

notacooldad · 03/11/2025 13:35

It maybe not yours or mines 'style' but that is irrelevant.

Like a lot of the dresses and jumpers, shoes etc on here, one persons good taste is another's frump hell.

Arse cheeks hanging out is not style.
Frump is a hideous word.

Try GiGi C

i am taken aback but the Puritanism on this thread. I don’t want to live in a world where women wear leggings underneath their calf length dresses at all times lest the sight of some naked flesh inflames pervy men or offends modest sensibilities. It’s all a bit Victorian.

SprayWhiteDung · 03/11/2025 14:03

I'd worry that somebody might get confused about which kind of paddle board you were meaning, having your arse out on display like that Grin

Not wanting to see someone's bare arse isn't puritanism.

It is a bit. It’s just an arse cheek.

Agree. It's literally underneath the relatively small portion of your body that children are taught is private under the 'Pants Rule'. Even little kids know this.

It makes no sense to go off in a huff and say "Well, if I can't walk around in public showing off a private part of my body, I may as well wear a full-length potato sack, then!".

@24kPalamino

how about a tan through suit? (this in the sale) Too much coverage perhaps?

but the wizardry! their other options here

It's really not, and technically it's two unnecessary arse cheeks (unless it's a very weird cut).

interesting! I have heard of these suits, but never trusted they work. The sale prices look really good, and to be fair, they’re really pretty suits. Although I’m still going to get my cheeky suits, because I do genuinely like them, I am open to try new things too. Thank you for posting.

Some of those are really lovely.

Anyone know how they work? Seems as though they have microscopic holes in the fabric to do the tan through bit, so does that mean you have to use suntan lotion… everywhere…? That’s the only thing that would put me off.

I would assume that you will get white lines wherever there is a hem or a join in the fabric.

Which could look rather odd.

Ontheedgeofit · 03/11/2025 16:54

If you have a good ass then by all means wear a cheeky bum swimsuit.

Bowies · 03/11/2025 23:36

I think it’s within reason OP.

No we don’t have to wear it, but most of us don’t particularly want to see other peoples arses hanging out in public spaces either - unless we’re choosing to be on a beach in Brazil, or a nudist beach, in which case, fair enough!
