    If you feel confident enough to wear one go for it, I am 50 and lost 112lbs my husband wanted me to wear a bikini but I am too self conscience so I bought a really sexy one , and I wear it only for him when we go in the hot tub but that is just me ,

    I think you should do what you want. No one has the right to tell you. Young or old its all in how you feel.

    Heck....there is a "more mature" lady in my neighborhood that wears one while riding her John Deere tractor mowing her grass...she seems extremely comfortable in it and seems to enjoy the "attention"....LOL

    I think anyone should be able to wear a bikini, regardless of gender, age, and weight.

    As long as you have a body to rock it sure , age makes no difference there are some 40 yrs olds who have great bikini bodies and some 20 yr olds who should not be wearing bikinis.

    Very well said

    Not only body but also skin

    nobody is too old for a bikini. trust me on this, i live 45 minutes from the beach, in florida. also, nobody is too fat for a bikini. because really, at the beach, can't we just wear what we are comforable wearing? if a person feels self-conscious wearing a bikini, don't wear one. wear a toga if you want! remember the song 'itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini'?

    just remember the sunscreen please...

    I hope not; I've never in my life worn a one piece bathing suit (well, unless it was just the bottoms....) and I don't intend to start any time soon.

    I need to get some of you ladies to talk to my wife! She isn't even what I would consider old, and she refuses, saying it is inappropriate for a woman her age. GRRRR

    Yeah, that's why I asked. I am 44. Looks like we need NOT worry. :bigsmile:

    I disagree.
    Who's to say who should wear a bikini and who shouldn't? How many pounds am I allowed to gain until i should throw away my bikinis? People can wear whatever they want as far as i am concerned.

    Should women stop wearing bikinis at a certain age?

    Yes - when they no longer have the self-confidence to wear them.

    Don't think so. Depends how confident and comfortable you are in one.

    Honestly if you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't wear it. It doesn't sound like you'll be comfortable in it.

    Absolutely!

    No one wants to see this.

    Only if they want to. Perception by outside parties should have nothing to do with the decision.

    Well my mom still rocks hers... So no I don't think there is an age limit! I don't think there is a weight limit. Where whatever you want!

    ^^This. Wear whatever you want. Who cares what anyone else thinks? It's none of their business what you wear to the beach. I have stretch marks from my crotch to my rib cage. And you know what? I'm tired of hiding them. What right does anyone have to look with disdain on what motherhood did to my body?! I'm wearing the damn bikini. :smokin:

    You are all awful!! Do you realize what you are supporting? 30 and 40 year olds will be running amok on our beaches!!! WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!!

    What is next, girls with a bit of fluff wearing them?!! No! We must act NOW!

    People should not be allowed to feek good about themselves!

    No way. I personally know a 50+ woman who can rock a bikini better than most 20 year olds.

    True, but you know how some say women shouldn't wear mini skirts after a certain age? Well, I guess it's kinda like that type of question.

    Nope. They should stop wearing bikinis at a certain BMI.

    After losing 50 lbs and now being a size 6, I am wearing a two piece this summer for the first time in years! Don't care about being in my 40's. My husband thinks I look great and that's the only opinion I'm interested in!

    That's also BS. Women shouldn't wear miniskirts to work, yes. If they want to go out dancing or whatever, they should wear the mini and feel free to feel like a million bucks in it.
