"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
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.

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