What is it about THE bikini?

Hate to say it, but many I see that feel like they FINALLY MADE IT into THE bikini should not have.
If the emphasis was meant to be on the bikini, among many swimming suit types, I would have gone with "the BIKINI".
I'll watch for that thread, then. ;-)0 -
Not all bodies work well in one piece suits. Even at my thinnest, I do not look good in a one piece because of my bubble butt. The material at the arch of my back, well it never touches, so I have this open space. So, when I am not bikini worthy (during the posing baby weight process) I will wear a tankini.
Also, even though my tummy is not as pretty as it used to be before I had 6 kids, I still wear a bikini because I tan very very easily...even with 50 SPF...and I do not want to have my body white and then my arms, legs, and round circle on my back brown. I would not feel sexy naked in front of my husband.
yea, I tried the one-piece suits, even the cute designer one with the sides cut out and they do NOT look cute on me. My stomach is too short for them, I guess, but it just looks weird on me. I'll stick with my bikini's, because I feel better in them, personally.
I have the opposite problem and it's equally frustrating. I am tall, so one piece suits are never long enough for me.0 -
Wearing a bikini is absolutely not my goal. I am with you 100% about never wearing a bikini. Even when I was a size 2, I had no interest in wearing one. A one-piece bathing suit is so much more practical to me.
Not to mention that while growing up, I saw too much of women whose bikini bottoms came off from splashing around in the water. Thin or not, I don't want to see any of that!
If other people want to wear bikinis, that's fine by me, but please, please, please make sure it stays on!0 -

So, according to the guys if you wear a bikini and are confident then you are sexy?
So what about all of us mommies out there with not so perfect bellies but we are confident and feel sexy in a bikini, is it the same?
Or do you have to actually be fit and perfectly toned to pull it off?
Sexy is a state of mind. I'll never lose my mommie pooch and I don't care.0 -
A bikini shows more skin and makes you more vulnerable to flaws.0

Because if you are a toned hottie, you should FLAUNT it!! I am digging the old pinup style ones for some reason. They scream sexy!!!0

I think looking good in bikini is one of my goals. I've always worn a bikini but I guess I put that as my goal because I feel like it covers everything I want to accomplish...getting toned, slimming down, feeling ultra confident with my body.
On a side note, I have some stretch marks. I think almost everyone does. Funny thing though, I notice them on myself but I can only think of a couple of times(in my whole life) that I've really noticed stretch marks on someone else that grossed me out. And even then, I'm not sure I would say I was grossed out but it was more like Whoa!, shrug, move on. That makes me think that all of us ladies who have mentioned them are probably more self critical than anything and stretch marks really are not that big of deal.0 -
It's one thing to look good with clothes on but I think many of us have the goal to look good with minimal clothing on. I definitely want to rock a bikini at least once in my life or at least have the body to be able to.
^ this. the bikini is the closest thing to being naked in public - so if you look good in that, you basically look good naked which is definitely a goal of mine! haha0 -

It is okay for you to not want to wear one. I don't get it either because I don't need the confidence from other people's comments about what is sexy to feel sexy in a swimming suit. I don't need to conform to what other people think is sexy or cute.0

Confidence is sexy. So rocking a bikini with a fit body on top of it... super sexy. To be honest, I have never seen a sexy one piece. Unless it is one piece of a bikini on my bedroom floor.
So would you say the same applies to a man wearing a Speedo?
Hell I would. Not the thong kind, but definitely the shorty kind. Less Borat and more James Bond in Casino Royale. YES PLS THX.
Also I think most women in the 8-10-12 range look heavier in a 1-piece. I only find the retro cut sexy and only if the lady is fully rocking the retro style.0 -
I don't think I'd ever be able to wear one and not want to hide the entire time because I'm never confident in how I look. I've been a fattie since puberty and I don't think I'd ever get to the point where I'd look okay in one. Also I burn easily, so I'd have to use even MORE sunscreen than I already do. Basically I'd have to spend double on sunscreen just to have a day on the beach.0

Hi all
Just curious??
Seems a bikini is a lot of ladies ultimate goal...wearing and feeling good in a bikini.
I was a size 6 in HS.....never wore one, and never will ( I hear it all the time..in one ear and out the other..Im not wearing one now or never and am OK with that..LOL...why cant others be OK with it too)
I want to be healthy, fit, confident, and strong......I think depending on the person, age, shape (not necessarily weight) ...u may rock a bikini or even look better in a sexy one piece..I think a sexy one pice can be just as hot (or am I fooling myself?)
Just curious what is the fascination with THE bikini?

I'm not sure. I've never owned a bikini either. My hubby actually prefers one-pieces. He thinks they are much classier. :-) When I get my weight down I might try a bikini out on him to see if he likes it too but I'd be happy to fit into the beautiful one-piece I have hanging in my closest. It's gorgeous!0 -
When I am at my fittest I still never wore a bikini because I have stretch marks and imo they don't look good. On anyone. Ever.
Then, only a few people can wear bikinis since most people have stretch marks somewhere on their bodies. Most teen girls get a few on their hips and butts, so I guess they should be covered in shorts. Men that workout and get a few on their arms, better wear shirts, and for you moms....if your tummy does not look like a perfect teenage girl tummy, then cover that thing UP!! You might make others vomit!!!
I say, if you feel comfortable in a bikini, who cares what others think! There are going to be people that think I look too thin, while others think I look too fat. I do not wear bikinis to impress other men, I do it because I like to wear a bikini and tan at the beach and at the pool. And if others do not like my stretch marks from carrying six kids, then they can turn their head and look away!
Meh. Vomit? probably not. I've had four pregnancies, I am not going to get sick over a stretch mark. I am however going to have an opinion about them. Like I said, I don't think they look good and I am okay with that.0 -
i was a fat kid growing up and i always wore my shirt over my one piece because i was too ashamed of how i looked. i worked hard throughout my teens to lose all my weight and now i am the fittest i have ever been. so, for me- the bikini is kind of like a reward for all my hard work and a symbol that i don't have to be that embarrassed little fat girl anymore.0

I agree that the confidence is the awesome part about it. I used to be super skinny, but I still wore a one piece, because I didn't want the attention.
As far as guys in speedos, I think that varies by country, but I personally don't want to see it. Guys are usually confident enough with their bodies, and there is a such thing as over-confident.0 -

Um...no. But boxer briefs...H*LL, yes!!0 -
Does anyone have one of the retro style ones? Or pics of examples? That sounds interesting!0
