Lil Red Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 what is your opinion of the bikini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahecil Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Now that I have the stomach to wear them, I like them. Just don't wear them to water parks, and cover-ups in the sun for those of fairer skin, such as myself, are a very good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I don't like them. (And no, I didn't like them when I was 'skinny' either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 My last (I guess current) swimsuit is a tankini. But good luck trying to get me to wear it. I'm not a fan of the bikini in general. I only got the tankini because it was actually more modest than all the one pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 indifferent. If I had the body for it I would wear one. But I don't so I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindomiel Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I don't like them... especially not when they're twice the price of all one-piece bathing suits with only 1/4 the fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeCatholic Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 After many many years of lifeguarding and teaching swimming lessons i have 2 things to say: 1) NEVER EVER EVER on a child younger than oh, say, 60. (but seriously, younger than 10) and 2) Just like condoms, Bikinis fail. that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even pre-kids I was rather self-conscious about my bod so I wore one pieces and board shorts in public. Now its a tankini and board shorts. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, in the interests of learning something new every day, did you know the first atomic bomb was dropped on bikini island, whence comes the name "bikini"? Now you do.

Seven77 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 i feel the need to move this thread--trouble is i dont know where... you know, kind of echoing Era---i think they were designed by satan.

[/quote] I find it interesting that a lot of the original comments in this thread were from women (not to take anything major from that, just an observation). I imagine male and female perceptions of a bikini would be very different. For women it's probably just a piece of clothing. For men it's an occasion of sin.

Lahecil Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I think it's about being comfortable while swimming and sun-bathing. (Entirely swimming for me, since I burn up in less than 5 minutes...no joke!) In one piece bathing suits, it starts to feel very restricted after a while, though they do have lots of merits. More skin cover (both for modesty and health reasons), and they don't slip off on water rides, as I saw just yesterday at a park, given, the girl was wearing a tie-bikini.

franciscanheart Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 They are on occassion for sin for men AND women. Let's not forget that not everyone is heterosexual. It can be an occassion for sins of purity and pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I like them. If they are tasteful. No for me too wear. Baby stretchmarks make that an unattractive proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
