No one is too big for a bikini. If you like the swim suite then get it and rock it.
Don't worry what others will think. Just be confident in your own skin:)0 -
I think you look good in your bikini. I've seen people much bigger than you in bikinis, so you're all right.
I don't think you have a lot to lose. You will get there!0 -
I know it's easier said than done but why don't you just wear what you want and forget what everyone else thinks? You are your own best supporter....and besides your confidence might just give another woman confidence too
All the best!

There's no shame in that game. Wear it0

I think you should go ahead and wear that bikini with pride! You're well-proportioned and curvy; you already look good.
I'm 5'6 and weigh 155 lbs and am too self-conscious.0 -
You look GREAT! If I had your body, I'd be wearing bikinis every time I go to the beach! Have confidence, you're beautiful!0

Super-cute. You have good proportions.
If in doubt, head to Pinterest, where there are some much larger ladies rockin' their bikinis. (Danger: Boob alert.)

No body is too big to have fun ! I used to be so worried about how I look in my one piece that I gave up swimming time with my boyfriend on a vacation ! just realized it doesn't matter .. we judge ourselves all the time and we think everyone is going to look and point but truth is everyone is busy enjoying their own time ..
If I had your body, I would put on a bikini and walk smiling ... have fun0 -
It;s so up to u, take all I say with a grain of salt. I am 5ft6 as well and 134 lbs. I personally won't wear a bikini until I lose weight. I wear a nice one piece.0

it's not a full pic but this is elisabeth akinwale in a sorta bikini
she's 5'7 160 ish
but yeah wear what you want. if people have a problem with it they can turn away or not..0 -
I'm the exact same height and weight as you, and I rock a bikini. Go for it.0
-
I think you're beautiful and you should rock that bikini. I won't just because I have this paranoia of my top flying off and scarring people while chasing my kids at the pool but it's all a self confidence thing. You've got this!0

You'll be fine in a bikini. The thing is, you have to *know* you look fine.
You could put a supermodel in a bikini and if she doesn't feel confident, people will stare at her just because of the way she's acting, maybe slumping over or trying to hide her body with her arms.
Own the beach. You deserve to.0 -
Too big for a bikini?
I think you should take that bikini.
Throw it in the garbage.
And go buy a brand new, fancy looking expensive bikini to show off your rockin' body with. Because you deserve to be able to feel confident in public and worth wearing a stupid bikini. That's what I think.0
