Is there a difference between a bikini and underwear + bra?

[AquaBoo]

I have seen many people say that there is not a difference between a bra and panties and a bikini. But then women wear bikinis all the time. But if they are seen in their underwear, it's bad? Is there actually a difference?

Yes there is a difference (explain)

No there is not a difference (plz explain)

The styles are similar but the fabric is what makes a big difference. Bikinis are made of a thicker material and underwear is thinner and it could become see through when it gets wet.

The bikinis I wear are thinner than my bra and panties.

While it's generally a similar amount of skim coverage. It's still swimwear vs undergarments. Not the same thing.

It's just the way they have been lead to believe. There is absolutely no difference. The difference in material of the two is irrelevant.

Yeah this has always been such a bullshit double standard I shake my head about. Really you're just as half naked, but because it's names a bathing suite or bikini, it's considered "non-revealing" comparably. As well, there are skimpier bikinis out there than lingerie. Really it's a fallacy.

[TadCurious]

There's really no meaningful difference other than possibly the type of fabric. It's more a psychological thing.

bra and panties are a lot more intimate for the most part although i get your question.. i get turned on seeing both so i guess my opinion is really obsolete lol

Underwear is not worn at the beach with the intention of swimming. A bikini is a conscious choice to be out in public, while being in your underwear is more geared towards "if you see me in my underwear you're most likely disrupting my privacy.

I can say the opposite here in Seattle. Many walk around in their underwear and do go swimming. Which is why I asked.

[kinda-confused]

Yes underwear is made to be more private and therefore it is more sexual. But if you are in a modest country like Saudi Arabia they see that as the equivalent of being naked.

[kinda-confused]

By “that” I mean bikinis

[itsme123456789]

Technically the same, however the material they are made of makes them different, wet panties and bra can be seethru and can rub because of the material, bikinis are made to get wet

[AquaBoo]

But the act that they cover the same.

[AquaBoo]

F? *

[itsme123456789]

Yup, that's how they are technically the same :)

[Paige90]

They are basically the same. I have actually gone to a beach and worn my bra and panties and most people would never know.

[RobLovesDemi]

Bikinis can be worn at the beach bras and panties aren't and bras and panties can be sexy especially silk or lace especially for bedroom romance before sex

[SamtheDnDgirl]

One is swimwear in which women are choosing to wear in public. The other is underwear which is, usually, not meant to be seen.

[Anonymous]

They're is if you're wearing sufficiently sexy underwear! See through goodness is usually not on display in a bikini.

[daniellemyerss]

Big differenceee😂😂😂😂😂

[Paige90]

How are they different?

[ultimega]

It's the fabric used I would of thought.
