"Do you think all body types Should be able to wear bikinis?"

"only reason I ask this question is I know plenty of people who would have issues or point out if a over weight girl was wearing a bikini."

When people say that, there's a multitude of subtext going on: A) to point out that a woman wearing a bikini is overweight is to imply asking "why should I have to look at a scantily-clad woman that isn't conventionally-attractive?" Secondly, to raise it as an issue means that there is unspoken desire to not just not want to look at them, but to not have to, i. e. "It's bad enough she's unattractive, why must she accost me with her presence?"

I understand the want to only be surrounded by things that please the senses, but that's not how life works. To desire such an artificially-beautiful reality, free of the ugliness of the "undesirables" who are to be kept "out of sight, out of mind", is to live a life of willful ignorance and self-deception.

It's tough... As a man, it can be pushed for me to go shirtless swimming and that leaves me with at times a big stomach sitting out there. From that stand point if I could wear an older total body swimsuit from back in the day I would. It's a factor of shape shifting. It would probably work much better for women but imagine shape shifting wear that is put on under clothes well I'm sure a full body swimsuit has that effect too. It helps to even everything out.

Upon research shapewear swimwear with tummy control. It's stuff like that, where it can be an advantage but I've also seen two pieces like that with some very clever two pieces on heavier girls where it's a black bottom and a floral top

Do you think all body types Should be able to wear bikinis?

People should be able to do what they want but it doesn't mean it's flattering. I have a small tummy, it doesn't hang over i'm just a little chubby because of hormones which im trying to regulate (I'm 5'2 and 135lbs for reference) I think if someone is skinny or fit it looks flattering, aswell as chubby but not if their belly hangs over. That's just my personal opinion but highwaisted bikinis are an option for plus sized people and I believe those are flattering on them if they have a more hourglass shape.

Now, coming from quite a conservative religion and culture, especially because I personally advocate for modesty as well, ideally I think no one should be wearing bikinis in public at all.

However, taking a more Liberetarian approach to the matter and considering that a woman should be able to wear whatever the hell she wants, it's only fair that you truly let a woman wear whatever the hell she really wants, and that includes women with less desirable body types being able to wear bikinis.

Goodwifie · Answer

I don't see too many issues on here💖 which is great.
Who cares really.
The sooner a woman stops caring for other people's opinions on how they look the better.
I'm a middle aged mother of three and I still wear bikinis.

loveslongnails · Answer

"Able" is not the correct word. Sure, any woman is "able" to wear a bikini. What I "think" you're asking is "should it be permitted", which is a weird question. I ask myself when wearing something, - does it flatter me, do I look good in it? That's the way most people think about their clothing choices. But I think some women wear bikini's just to prove the point that they're fine with their bodies and if you don't like it, fuck off. On a personal note, I don't wear anything I think looks bad on me or I look bad in. I wouldn't wear a Speedo "just because I can".

SentientBrick · Answer

"Being able to" and "should or should not" are two diffrent issues. Should grotesquely obese people be able to wear bikinis or speedos if they want? Yes they should be able to. Is it a good idea or socially acceptable? No, no it is not. Now I'm not trying to be mean or put down people with weight issues (it would be hypocritical for me to do so) but it is important for people to accept and be awair of their flaws. If we are to better ourselves this is hard but neccesary truth.

(Ps: don't go out antdtell fat people they are fat. They are awair and what your doing is being a dick while feeding your personality disorder)

Deformate · Answer

If a woman wants to wear a bikini and feels good in it, isn't that the only opinion that should matter to them? Thats all opinions are, varying ideas of what we think about a topic. No one opinion is right or wrong. If a woman has the confidence to wear a bikini, regardless of their body size, I would say go for it, enjoy your day and then I will go about my business. I will admit right now that I believe they aren't for everybody, in the same eay I believe male thongs aren't for everybody, but thats my opinion and it doesn't have any bearing on the individual wearing the item. Let them express themselves. If it bothers you, stop looking.

humanearth · Answer

Hey Cindy, you forgot about young middle-aged and old. Also what about men.

IcePrincess97 · Answer

People CAN wear what they want, doesn't mean they SHOULD or should feel comfortable doing it. I know if I'm retaining a little bit of water and slightly bloated (that time of the month), I'm not comfortable wearing crop tops. People have no shame these days

JimRSmith · Answer

Broadly speaking, I think people should feel free to wear what they want.

I might not find all body types as aesthetically pleasing as certain others, but at the end of the day, if I don't like it, nothing's forcing me to look, either.

slatyb · Answer

AFAIK all body types are able to wear bikinis unless they can't find one in their size.

How to tell if you're body is bikini-ready:

1. Do you have a body?
2. Do you want to wear a bikini?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then your body is bikini-ready.

Dutchgirl97 · Answer

I hate that girls have to think about what they look like to others before wearing somthing they want. Its honestly a sad thing. I think a girl should wear bikinis if they feel pretty to themselves! Because I can see the beauty in every girl and I wish they could too. WEAR IT IF YOU WANT TO! Screw other peoples opinions.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Every one CAN wear a bikini. Doesn't mean its going to look good on them. I personally don't care, do what ever you want but again, some people are going to look better in it then others. Personally I would recommend wearing what flatters you not what doesn't simply because its popular.

Gotcha_Writer10 · Answer

For real! People these daya are waaay to involved in the lives of others. If some girl wants to wear a bikini and is confident too, then all the power too her. No ones bates an eye when an overweight man wears his trunks so why attack a bigger woman? If you dont like it, then just look away. No ones forcing you to look at her. And both women in your question are gorgeous and rock a bikini.

Mishan97 · Answer

Yes of course! It’s not up to anybody else to decide what someone else should wear. If they are comfortable and confident in what they’re wearing, they should wear it. Nobody else’s opinion matters. To the guys voting that only girls with a certain body should wear bikinis-keep in mind women don’t exist just for your consumption. Just because you’re not attracted to every body type in a bikini doesn’t give u a right to dictate who should wear one and who should not.

noel_g95 · Answer

Yes all women should be able to wear what they want when they want. The main reason a lot of them don't is because there's disgusting people in this world who bring others down. If people were more positive and kind then I'm pretty sure nobody would feel "insecure" about the way they look. It's just the shit people say that make a lot of women and men feel as if they have to hide the body their in just so they don't get judged.

RemoErdosain · Answer

I think it's perfectly fine, and whoever complains or makes fun of a woman wearing a bikini is being a total dick. There's no such thing as what can be worn with a certain body type. There are some clothes that look better in some than others, for sure, but you do you. Personally, I think bikinis look great on everybody

Sbgirl · Answer

I think anyone should be able to. The purpose of a bikini is to go swimming in or sunbathing. It's not reserved for slim people to look good.

There are plenty of unattractive bodies when you go to the beach. By this argument trunks would also need to be banned for overweight men. I don't have to look if I don't find it aesthetically pleasing.

ZackBan · Answer

It was never frowned upon for overweight girls to wear bikinies. Now sure they won't attract as much attention as a fit girl in bikinis but anyone who walks up to a fat girl and says "why are you wearing that" is a complete asshole and definitely doesn't represent the average guy.

DanaeAdam5 · Answer

No every type of body should be able to wear what ever they want!

I mean... Is any of these overweight/skinny/whatever theis body type is gonna hurt you by wearing bikinis or revealing clothes?

No. So please don't be dicks to those girls

jsincal · Answer

We are all humans and are allowed to wear what we feel like. As long as you feel good screw everyone else. Some are jerks, because they were probably made fun of and they cope by making fun of other to the standards of their past abuses.

Anyone that judges or makes fun others, etc. realize the hate you’re spreading is the hate that was inflicted on you.

BroodyRuby · Answer

Everyone should be able to wear what they want. I don’t care how much someone weighs. We are all humans and all have our preferences. I agree some people would have a problem with an overweight girl wearing a bikini which is sad because it really just shouldn’t concern them at all

silvermoon84 · Answer

It looks fine as long as the bottom part gives good coverage. Mine covers everything and gives good tummy control. I don’t think bigger girls such as myself look so great in string bikinis though, but I didn’t look good in string bikinis when I was thin either.

Futureboy · Answer

I am a firm believer that anyone can look beautiful the way they are and should be comfortable getting naked. So yes freedom to wear a bikini should not be based on size. Also you could have picked a better photo to demonstrate the curvier woman. You go a pick someone who is constantly battling for attention and considers herself a role model for others.

ecfresh · Answer

As an overweight guy I know I will be wearing a shirt at the beach. That’s for the individual to decide what they want to wear but they must be accountable for their decisions. If she is overweight in a bikini and gets looks from others, that shouldn’t be taken as offensive.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

provided the suit fits there body type, covers what it needs to cover, doesn't expose to much, and flatters there body type.

I see no really issues. however many tend to wear suits that revel. more then is ideal amount for there body types that is.

i. e. 2 sizes 2 small

Elliegirl · Answer

Bikinis aren’t for skinny girls only, but I don’t think they’re for everyone either. Like, if you could be on My 600lb Life, you should probably not wear bikinis.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't think that my opinion should influence anyone on what that person should wear, except my kids at younger age...

They can wear whatever, even go out naked, why should I care?

Yes, I would not enjoy the view when fat woman wearing it as much as fit one, but such is life, not everything will be pleasant to me, I'm fine with it.

theCobbler · Answer

I chose anyone... the red and white polka dots, borderline for my tastes! On the same level, I've seen Ladies too thin for a bikini , bones sticking out like a pin cushion !

All that being said ; it really shouldn't matter to anyone except the one wearing the bikini ; if she's comfortable, let it be, no one's forcing you to look!
Dont scoff or judge, someone's looking at You as well!

kitty71 · Answer

Sorry but even if you are confident about your body not all bodies can pull off wearing bikinis. You have to be realistic.

Anonymous · Answer

Everyone should be able to wear whatever they want, but there's something to be said for wearing what most flatters your body. Bikinis are considered sexy on certain body types because they accentuate those features (for example toned stomachs, or for the very lean) while one pieces or other style might complement overall one's body shape. Wearing something that isn't comfortable or flatting because you think it's the standard for looking "good" isn't productive and I think it ultimately makes us less happy that we don't consider this with more nuance

Dargil · Answer

I think women should make that choice. Maybe I like it, maybe I don't but it's not my call. "Ohh Nohhh! Here come the Bikini Police! You're in trouble now!"

Metlahaed · Answer

Man is that what you girls think fat is? She looks perfectly fine to me.

scarlett774 · Answer

Of course any woman should be able to wear a bikini no matter their body weight, not everyone’s skinny and that’s ok bikinis were invented for everyone

Lost_Spark · Answer

Totally up to the wearer, if they feel confident enough to do so, then what does it matter?

But... We all have a responsibility to ourselves and we have to shoulder part of the blame.

Common sense really is simple!

DanielAppleton15 · Answer

I’m no expert but I think that bikinis have plenty of variety and hence they work for all body types.

But honestly if a girl feels comfortable and confident in a bikini then she can rock it and look great in it regardless of size

nella965 · Answer

I think you would have to be an asshole to say that overweight girls shouldn’t wear bikinis.

But this is true in our society. It’s an IMPLIED RULE that fat women shouldn’t wear bikinis in public. Or that women with big stomachs should be ashamed of themselves

ttnnkkrr · Answer

you didn't really post any one most men would find overweight. but (lets be clear im morbidly obese) your clothing should fit well no matter your size. if it causes flesh to apear to hang over or painted on you probably need a mentor to teach you how to dress correctly.

the first photo. if her bikini were very tight she woulf be viewed very poorly as well

Purplelove010 · Answer

In my opinion when you go to the beach or pool, you are in an environment where you're suppose to let loose. Being plus sized shouldn't stop you from showing some skin in the hot sun. It's for hot for sakes! Let it hang out!

SjE78 · Answer

I believe that what someone wears should be up to them, if they feel comfortable in what they choose... and happy about that then i say whose business is it other than the person wearing what they choose to wear?

EmbraceThePain · Answer

Yeah.
Even if she’s overweight, I’d have to personally see her in the bikini to see whether I like it on her or not. Likewise, even if she’s the “right” weight, I’d still have to see the bikini on that specific woman to determine if I like

John_Doesnt · Answer

It's all fun and games until somebody abuses the privilege.  Should this body type wear a bikini?

kaylaS91 · Answer

Sure.  I mean.. most of the time I see someone wearing speedos, it’s overweight older men so I don’t see why women of all ages/sizes shouldn’t be given the same privileges.

I-C3_ME · Answer

I believe u can wear whatever u want, but people can (and will) judge u in bad/good ways for it. If your okay with that then that's wonderful & I'd say "strut your stuff", however if u can't then that's something to consider :)

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Big is beautiful & it doesn’t matter what size a person is & if they want to wear a bikini or a thong more power to them if they are able to fit in it.

RateThemBabe · Answer

Girls can wear whatever they want to regardless their body type. So what if they’re bigger? Let them have the confidence to wear a bikini.

xKaytie · Answer

I think extremely overweight people are an eyesore no matter what they wear, so makes no difference. Everyone.

PeterAyre · Answer

I think anybody can wear a bikini. For what it's worth I think the second more attractive than the first. Some people have a learned phobia of obese people in bikinis, it's silly.

PearlSU · Answer

I mean, I don't really like beaches, but girls in bikinis are usually pretty good looking regardless of body type. They only lose the pretty status when they're an asshole lmao

cast277 · Answer

Really couldn't come up with a third option? I dont mind big girls in bikinis. But there should be a limit. I mean come on if you need a motorized chair to buy your bulk groceries for the day, no one wants to see that.

jemismyname · Answer

i think i should wear a bikini if i want to. (i don't... or doooo i?) basically, everybody should wear anything they want to, and nobody else should be allowed to shame them for what they wear.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Nope. And its worse when u see it a waterpark. Some men and women should just keep their shirts and shorts on. I accept that im not built to wear a bikini these days

I-am-a-nobody · Answer

From a modesty perspective, no one should wear a bikini except privately. From an appearance perspective only about 30% of people under 30 should wear one. Do not wear if you have a gut at all!!!

petrozft9 · Answer

Yeah obviously your figure does not matter, you should absolutely rock that bikini regardless of your figure. Just be open to criticism because everyone loves to talk about it

worldscolide · Answer

I think anyone should be able to wear what they want... on that same token, people that choose to wear what they want should be ready for the consequences of that choice. Not everyone likes it. I personally dont care, but not everyone is like me.

soe11 · Answer

My choice is first answer.  But every individual has a choice.  My girlfriend and her mum got attractive stunning sexy figure, so both wear micro adjustable strings bikinis at public resorts and poolside parties and sunbathing.

Browneye57 · Answer

There's that word 'should'. No one likes to be 'shoulded' to death.  Just mind your own business - people are free to choose their own attire.

Kurαȷ · Answer

They should be. But they shouldn't expect the same reaction.

Kinda like asking if people who love coca cola should be allowed to use Dell Laptops. Does anybody, even Pepsi lovers, have a right to say otherwise?

BestUserName100 · Answer

Sure of course you don't got to look. Only people who like complaint and being mean would comment on that. And like drama too. Do opinions really matter anyways. They are sad unhappy people.
