Why do women get embarrassed about wearing lingerie if swimwear has the same or less fabric?
I actually asked my friend this same question. She said that it's just the context that each is used in. Undergarments are more personal and used in more private scenarios, while swimsuits are specifically for the public eye. I still don't understand though, they show the same amount of skin.

This question has been asked suspiciously often recently.
The difference is not in the fabric or how revealing both are, but the context and the circumstances. On the beach everyone's half naked and everyone's expecting to be seen half naked. That's a little different than being caught in undies under unlikely circumstances.Consent and Context. If you wear a bikini you meant to only be wearing that much clothing and are okay with people seeing you in that much clothing.
Underwear is not for everyone to see and if someone looks at you like in that picture. It's because you busted into their room while they were changing or somewhere else you were equally unwanted. This isn't that complex.
The way I've had it explained to me is it's about consent. The woman in the bikini is allowing people to see her that way. If you somehow stumbled in on her wearing lingerie she did not consent to being looked at in that more vulnerable moment

So lingerie can make women feel more self conscious and aware of their sexuality, which can feel embarrassing if the lady isn’t confident enough to believe she can pull it off. Lots of women feel just as uncomfortable in swim wear, but of course, water is a big distraction that they can embrace.

I’ve been confused and been debating this for almost how many years now XD... it makes no sense to me... especially if it’s see through... is as close as not wearing anything at all in regards to swimsuits and underwear... not a big fan on bikinis... rather full swimsuits most.
Females expect to be seen in swim wear and it's less, for lack of better word, intimate. The intention of revealing swimwear is to look eye catching. Now, when you see a female in her underwear it wasn't her intentions to be seen in them and it their point is to keep all of their assets comtained.

The environment and situation. With swim wear, your usually surrounded by other people that are exposed too so less people will look at you. Imagine wearing just a swim suit at the beach vs at the mall. You'll be just another person in one vs the one person in the other.

Panties and lingerie are see through. So if they get wet you can see right through. Also the fabric is far more delicate...- 1.5K opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic.
To be fair I never thought the overly revealing bikinis were appropriate either. I just don't think it's appropriate for every other guy to see her ass cheeks and the majority of her breasts. And if she's my girlfriend then no way am I comfortable with that. Stare at your own risk because she wouldn't be wearing that anyway.
Also the reason is something several women on here have said already. They are volunteering to show off this skin where as in an underwear situation it isn't expected. 680 opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. What you wear to go swimming doesn't relate to what you wear every day. I wouldn't go to work in just a swimsuit either.

I agree. I am just as embarrassed showing off skin in a bathing suit, because the way I see it it's just socially acceptable underwear.

How about this. Your both acting like moron’s. kaskas19, you joined into his conversation and started harassing him, so you started this.
bigbang101, you said some pretty vulgar stuff, so your no better.
Both of you need to just block each other and move on before something bad happens. Consent. And not every woman is the same. It's literally common sense.
-
I do think that's kind of weird. But lingerie has a way of sending more alluring signals, definitely more overtly sexual signals. Women have a very keen sense of fashion & their relationship with it is a lot more hands on than with men.

I get embarrassed wearing all of it lol never worn lingerie
-
Well having women friends, I can't say I have ever seen them really care either way. If anything, they tend to wear more revealing lingerie. They stick to one pieces for bathing suits.
I think it's the frame of mind and context. In one case, a woman is prepared to expose herself to the view of the world. In the other context, perhaps not. I don't know. I'm not a beautiful and fit as I should like, but I don't have body image problems.
-
I’m the other way around. I wear lingerie around the house for my husband’s eyes only. Only one piece for when I go to the pool.

Guys expect girls to look like Victoria’s Secret models when they wear lingerie, and are disappointed when we don’t.
Hahaha, god knows, good question!! I'm not self-concious on a beach naked from the waist down, so its probably yet more female sexual immaturity
