Bikini vs underwear?

[abc--123]

On the beach, by a pool and around holiday destinations it is perfectly acceptable to wear a binkini all day walking around. All a bikini consists of is a bra and panties so it is basically underwear made from different material.

So by this logic why is it socially acceptable to walk around in a bikini but not underwear?

Also if it was socially acceptable would you walk around in your underwear?

I was about to ask the exact same question. One day I posted a picture of me wearing underwear and a guy told me "don't post a picture with underwear" but people wear bikini and walk around with it. My underwear covered more than average people's bikini. My starps are thicker at least. I don't understand the concept really. I also watched ANTM and one of the model didn't want to take a picture with underwear on because it was underwear. I mean I thought what mattered was how much coverage a clothing gives you, not what you call it? But... I don't know. This question is helpful to me.

That guy must not be able to look at womens underwear without getting weird. Must be some kind of pervert. Glad I could help.

It depends on the situation and the location. While it is considered acceptable to walk around in a bikini at the beach or pool, it's generally not socially acceptable to do the same while out grocery shopping for example.

Underwear can be a lot more revealing than a bikini due to either style or fabric choice. While I am perfectly comfortable walking around in public in a bikini, or a sports bra and a pair of spandies, I would not feel comfortable doing so in a thong and lacy bra.

But if it was socially acceptable to wear underwear on the beach wouldn't you leave the thong at home and go for full panties? And you can get thong bikinis.

how come some people are allowed to walk around w/ a rifle in fucking walmart but the second I bring my industrial-sized meat grinder to tesco

I'm not making like a sarcastic comparison like 'a bikini is to underwear what a rifle is to a commercial meat grinder' that'd be a strange comparison I'm just shitposting, fyi

[abc--123]

I'm not sure how your comparing a rifle to a meat grinder?

[LauraMarx]

comparisons are odious

[CincinnatiRedsfan]

Well, some underwear is extremely revealing: Such as thongs, small boy-shorts or any other skimpy underwear. Same with SOME bikinis. However, assuming we're comparing regular panties to a full bikini, I really see nothing wrong with it. Our society makes little to no sense at all.

Good question. I can't provide a valid answer, except I agree with you.

In my mind if a girl was wearing normal everyday underwear, not sexy underwear, and went to a beach forgetting her bikini I would have no problem her stripping down to her underwear. I wouldn't think any less of her, I probably wouldn't even notice. She would stand out more slaying fully dressed

Underwear tends to be more flimsy mateiral - Bikinis are made more for surface wear.

All the areas where you would wear a bikini are places where you go swimming. A bra and panties are gonna be see through when wet so you can't wear them for swimming. You wouldn't wear a bikini downtown in a city, any more than you would wear a bra and panties.

[abc--123]

Ah I didn't think of the wet underwear thing. Good point.

[Sour-rose]

I don't know if someone said it but

Underwear- you wear these under your clothes.

Bikini- you wear this when you're going for a swim and it's designed just for that :D

[springocelot]

I've always wondered this myself.

Maybe it's because it's okay to strip someone of the one but not the other.

[abc--123]

Whether my girl is wearing underwear or a bikini on holiday I'm still stripping it off her at the end of the day.

Bikinis are usually made in a different and thicker fabric that doesn't become see through when wet nor lets others see camel toes and what not.

[abc--123]

Good point a beach full of camel toes wouldn't be a pretty sight

[thealphamaleishere]

Because people are fucking stupid that's why. Simple as that. Like I say, the majority of people have no sense.

I don't walk around in my bikini. My bikini covers way more than my underwear does. So either way it makes no difference to me.

You can't mixed up these are two different things.

[apexalpha]

social norms thats why but if you look at it from a logical perspective there is none
