Is it necesarry be firm and toned, with flat stomach? I've seen so many overall slim to in-between girls who looks great even not being very toned or having small, round 'pooches'...

    Have you seen the new Sports Illustrated Swimwear edition. She's very curvy and sexy. Not the skinny as a rail girls we usually see.

    I have a friend who has nice, soft 'pooch' just below her belly button. She is overall slender but has this small, round lower stomach. It has perfectly defined shape and even looks firm if you don't touch it (of course then you realise that it is pure fat). I'm a woman myself, but I were man I think I'd find it kinda hot...

    People who feel comfortable in a two piece are the ones that look best while wearing a two piece. If you feel good, you tend to look it.

    Absolutely!

    If you are happy what you are wearing then screw what other people think. People who judge are jealous that they do not have the confidence to pull off that look.

    I think it's mostly about confidence. But being fit helps, skin tone makes a big difference too.

    If you feel good in a bikini, wear a bikini! It's that simple.

    Not trying to stir things up, but I'm not sure why people seem to get so up in arms about the bikini thing. Sure wear what you want and feel comfortable in, but isn't it just the same as asking for fashion advice? Certain body types can pull off certain looks better than others.

    I don't think I'd get offended if someone told me that 'insert look/clothing' doesn't really suit me. Or that, as a short guy I should go for 'insert look/clothing' because the other thing only suits taller people.

    There are LOTS of different kinds of bikinis. Different cuts, different looks, different styles. They don't all suit only one body type.

    I'm with the wear a bikini if you want to crowd, obviously.

    ^This.

    The one I wore last year was an unflattering cut for me and that made me a little uncomfortable in public. This year though, I picked a better cut and love it.

    If you are comfortable, confident and happy in a bikini that's all that matters.

    When a woman is confident in her appearance, that is a definite plus.

    I like a woman that could give a shlt about others' opinions, but can still appreciate a compliment.

    This +1

    I grew up at the beach. I often saw 300lb tourists sporting small bikinis and splashing in the waves like sea lions while their tops were knocked off. Anyone can wear a bikini, but it doesn't mean everyone needs to have the same opinion on things like: what they consider proper wear, what they consider a proper body for the wear, or what they find attractive.

    It's a public forum thread asking for individuals opinions. Stop trying to be all PC and shaming others for having an opinion.

    For me they look best when they are slim and trim.. You do not have to have a six pack to impress me but definitely no jelly rolls or muffin tops and thunder thighs.

    Also this is just a general public service announcement ... If you have had 6 kids then maybe, just maybe a 2 piece bikini is not for you ... same goes for yoga pants.. not for everyone.

    He's single ladies!!!! Line on up

    Blotchy, pimply skin is unattractive. Clear skin with an even tone is more attractive. IMO of course.

    Such a loaded question. Yikes
    I'll just say I've only felt confident enough that I have an ok bikini body the last two or three years.

    Doesn't matter, only looking at the covered bits anyway because I'm respectful like that...

    Put bikini on body. Voila - bikini body.
    IMHO confidence is the most important feature when sporting a bikini.
