Your Thoughts of Big Girls in Bikinis ?

I wore my first bikini EVER when I was 34 years old - it was my first sunny holiday. I had just lost about 60 lbs and we booked a trip to Jamaica. I weighed 165. But, I had the mommy body, stretch marks, loose skin - it all. My travel agent told me to buy one biikini to take with me and to trust her. So, I had two full coverage tankinis and 1 two piece standard black bikini. I wore one of the tankinis one day, and the rest of the time I wore the bikini. That was the single most liberating body image experience of my life. We tend to be soooo judgemental about the perfect body in NA, but in Jamaica (and many carribean countries) that simply isn't the case. I now don't even own a one piece. My only thing is make sure it fits you - that is the most important thing. No matter what your size just make sure it fits right.0

If you want to wear it, if it fits, and if it's not breaking any laws in your area re: modesty and coverage, WEAR the damned BIKINI. Those who matter won't mind. Those who mind, won't matter.0

I don't think wearing a bikini is a necessarily a sign of self respect, regardless of the person's size.0

Seeing a woman in a bikini turns me on. Period. End of story!
HA HA HA ... What can I say? I LOVE the female body in all it's shapes and forms. Just show me some skin and I am happy!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could get my wife to buy into my line of thinking. She dresses like a nurse in a snow storm at the pool and at the beach.
You have to be the man of my dreams. Best quote ever!!:blushing: :flowerforyou:0 -
I'd say more power to her.
I myself have never worn one, and the issue came up 2 days ago for me. I went to my schools gym for the first time. I go to ASU so a lot of girls there, and I wanted to do the water aerobics they were going to do, but they would not let me in the pool with shorts and a t-shirt. Said it had to be a swimsuit or some sort of boys water shorts and some sort of shirt, like the kind surfers wear or something (no idea what the hell they meant). So for now, no pool for me because I will not wear a bikini, just can't. Maybe one day, but not now.0 -
I don't care what your age or weight is. If you feel confident and comfortable in a bikini, there is no reason why you shouldn't wear one proudly.
This!
Good for anyone who has the confidence to flaunt it.0 -

Why not get some board shorts and a tankini top?0 -
I do get judgmental, don't want to lie. Just think we all should be realistic.
But bikini is ok... Imagine NO bikini.
ive been to nude beaches and seen 60+ years old women and men. That's much more painful to see than some fatty in a bikini.
Some of them had major plastic surgeries done too.
Don't get me wrong, most people are gorgeous there but suddenly you see a 200 kg naked woman who's nipples are hidden in the rolles of her belly fat. That's impressive.
You must enjoy judging people and that's why you go to the nude beach. And the sentence about 60+ and the last paragraph.... wow, I'm glad you are not planning to get old and that your breasts will always magically defy gravity. I'd feel sorry for you, if you weren't so nasty.0 -
i wouldn't even notice her... must be because I live in a city and see people from all walks of life daily.0

I love this!
I grew up in a very weight-conscious family -- my mother was tiny, and my sisters were small. Everybody was always dieting. But God forbid anybody wore a bikini at our family cottage! Everybody was so self-conscious, it was unreal. Then when I was 15 I went on a French exchange with a family in Montreal. And they had a pool. The mother was a large, confident woman who was in her bikini all the time. It completely and totally changed the way I saw sexiness and confidence.0 -
Honestly', A friend or myself would probably point her out and have a giggle about it.0
-
Wouldn't comment out loud, but have thought 'did they look in the mirror and see their butt crack hanging out?'
Personally I would never wear a bikini, but when I have my bathing suit on, I just knock out the nay sayers with my bat arms!!! Shuts em up every time! ;-)0 -
Just a quick note to those that are saying, "nobody wants to see a size XX in a bikini" ... well, I'd like you to consider that if someone is a size XX and wearing a bikini (or anything for that matter), they probably don't give a fruck what you think. It might behoove all of you to be a little more concerned with your shallow attitudes and the misbelief that your opinion actually matters than what someone else is wearing.
I'm not gonna volunteer my opinion about big girls in bikinis if nobody asks, as I'm quite sure they either don't care or would rather not hear it.
Well, I think your opinion is garbage, that's all.
I don't like saggy pants either. I respect people's right to dress however they like, but I don't have to like them.0 -
big boobs and butts men love it0

I'm not a big fan of thigh gap, so you can assume how I feel about this topic...0

I find myself mesmerised by anyone else's bared flesh, I had really(really) crippling self-confidence some years ago. I hated my bare arms and didn't show them in public. It's much better now and frankly I'd rather see someone's jiggly bum than someone too embarrassed to wear a t-shirt in public.
Any self-confidence is good self-confidence, even if there's a whole lot of it on show!0 -
I like big butts and I can not lie0
-
