by women with either ample hippage or over size 14.

there is a lot of spare flesh looking quizically

"whither shall i put myself, under the tie, over or just wobble unattracvivey"

Lol - there would be no quizzical looking flesh if I wore em.

There'd be jostling flesh, going "I'm going over, you go under, no, I want to go under, move up a bit, I can't there's no room", etc etc etc

Yes, lots of jostling. Also, people would be trying to work out what my tattoos were supposed to be..... they are stretchmarks.

Oh gosh yes. I would also add an age proviso - not over 30 - and a not after childbirth clause. My hips are whippety (don't look at my inner thighs though) but the thought of side ties makes my stomach churn.

SuSylvester · 11/03/2010 11:04

the pouches can havea sumo effect too - nappy style

What about those cutaway swimsuits they keep shoving at us?

The ones with the big metal ring at the front are the best.

I'd look hilarious. It's almost worth buying one.

SuSylvester · 11/03/2010 11:07

Tie sides also encourage silly Darren Day type behaviour, with dhs or dses pulling ties.

I need a polo neck bikini with feet in.

SuSylvester · 11/03/2010 11:08

Not only tanning issues, but hot metal ring issues.

Like when you put your jeans on straight out of the drier. Ouch.

bobbiewickham · 11/03/2010 11:10

I have a white crochet string bikini. From years ago when was toned and lithe and when skin did not look like cold porridge.

I actually tried it on a couple of weeks back. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

DP caught me and said 'ooh that looks lovely why don;t you wear that to the gym'.

As if.

bobbiewickham · 11/03/2010 11:11

Very good. Need legs though.

SuSylvester · 11/03/2010 11:11

I love them Also have some AP knickers with tie bows at side which are so lovely always get a reaction from dp

bobbiewickham · 11/03/2010 11:14

I like both of those, actually.

Just not on me.

Mind you, I could do the no tits one.

But I have a v long torso, so end up with massive cameltoeage if I wear one piece.

SuSylvester · 11/03/2010 11:14
