Is there a way to avoid tanlines without sunbathing nude?

I hate having a bikini tanned into my skin but I don't really have the privacy to go nude in my garden 😭

  • OK. I'm going to say this about tanning. It's bad for your skin. You were born with a genetic coloring. That's the color you should have. If you get a tan you are damaging your skin. I know it's a fashion, but it's a foolish fashion.
    The damage is also cumulative: the more you tan, the more your skin is damaged and the worse you'll look over time. So, why don't you BUY some fake tan and live with that and use sunscreen.
    Suntanning and burning is the TOP reasons peoples' skin ages.
    You have great skin. Stop tanning and start protecting and you'll keep that great look many years longer.

      I've seen a couple of women on beaches over the years with a deep, deep tan - the kind you can only get from constant tanning - and they literally have crocodile skin. I found a pic that gives you a rough idea - the color is right (remember, this is a "white" woman), but I've seen women with much worse skin, where it isn't just wrinkled, but scaly - small rectangular scales. It is NASTY!

    • @MrOracle She's wearing a wrinkled skin suit. Thank you for this horrible picture. But it is a visible result of burning and reburning with UVA and UVB rays. Damages connective tissue in the skin. Also leads to skin CANCER.

  • Try tanning lotion which tans the skin where applied. I use that and keep regular sunscreen where my tan (from regular clothes) is and try to match the shades or blend them so it looks like it is getting lighter when you get closer to private areas. Only issue is getting your own back.


    One year I got about 5 shades darker in a few weeks from using it. You can get it at Walmart.

    • is it noticeably artificial or can you get it to match a natural tan pretty easily?

    • Depending on how well it is rubbed in, and how dark natural tan already is. Make sure though that it’s rubbed in good and let dry (mostly) BEFORE putting clothes on. Has tendency to stain lighted colors/ whites. And always wash hands when done applying. And use sparingly.

  • I waa just going to say go nude or wear a see through thong lol 😂 yea unfortunately thats the only way to get rid of tan lines permanently or going to a tanning Booth but i heard its really unhealth and can increase your risk of cancer. I know they have a spray on tan but i don't know how long it lasts.

    • Yeah nude or seethrough is not an option xD

    • Perfect ass by the way!!! Compliments to the chef!! 👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥👍

    • Thanks XD I don't know who the chef would be lmao

  • Maybe you can sunbathe wearing what you're wearing in that picture. Or pulling up your swimwear in a way it doesn't cover any part of your ass.

    Though just for the record the tan lines are in no way ugly and are natural during summer so you shouldn't sweat it too much

  • yes but it takes along time, have several bathing togs, all different styles there will still be some that you can't tan unless you use a tanning thing

  • There are bikinis which are supposedly made with a cloth that allows tanning rays through the fabric and which avoid the obvious tan lines. Look for suits called "tan through."

  • They're called tanning beds or spray tans... or, screw-it, make your neighbors SWEAT as they 'get a grip' on the view! Mua-ah-hah! 3:)

    • lol thats the risky choice XD

    • Most of the women I've had the pleasure of knowing... have defined 'safe' = 'boring'. There is NO 'edginess', no anticipatory adrenaline to 'safe'... no woman I've known goes night clubbing to feel 'safe'. Their Ego seeks affirmation of them being 'desirable'.~ It is said "Faint heart n'er won a 'fair' lady" BUT... these days, #me too makes overatures legally high risk~ You CAN have the dreamy 'bodice-ripping' romance novel experience OR feminist politic 'safe' but there is NO 'both'. :(

  • When the weather is nice, go to a nude beach. With all the people on there, they will not be focusing on any one person, so you could get the tan you want!

  • Use a tanning bed or tanning booth nude. Unless you consider that to be sunbathing.

  • A friend showed me how in her garden she had built a screen out of beach windbreaks so that nobody could see.

    • Thats actually pretty smart tbh, would have to see if my dad would still get mad about it tho lol

  • Where a g-string or the smallest string bottoms you can.

    • I'd feel a little lewd wearing teeny tiny string underwear outside 😂

    • I can respect how you feel. Is there ANY place you can sunbath for a little while with privacy?

    • Not that I know of, no

  • Wear one type of bikini and then switch to another one to get the spots that the other one couldn't get.

  • Use sunless tanner 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • What is wrong with tan lines?

  • Sadly I don't think there is any option other than that or getting micro bikini but even then you'd get tan lines

    • yeah a micro bikini is also kinda obscene looking tho lmao

    • That's true, sadly the tan lines will be present, can't say I mind as I think they look good tbh 😏

    • I guess some people dont mind tanlines?

  • Don't tan at all and you'll avoid it.
    I personally think tan lines are kind of hot if they're not too extreme.

    • Ehh i like the sun too much to avoid tanning at all, even the few days last week where it was sunny i was in the garden all day lmao I just think they're a little ugly, especially on the chest

    • I understand. I'm lucky to live out in the country, I could just walk around naked outside all day and nobody sees. I get burnt though.

    • Lucky you lol You gotta cover up with sun lotion or its dangerous >:c

  • Wear a bikini thong.

  • Dont sunbath than

  • It's something I am not into. Not a sun bather. Tans are only by accident. Walking in the sun.

  • trust me i hate them shits too, mostly cause my neck and arms are dark and my body is much lighter, i hate it smh

    • At least my pale spots are fairly hidden lmao

    • mine too but when you dont wear shit it be looking like a multi colored popsickle

    • Lmao truuuue

  • I humbly volunteer to see and around to u with towels to protect you from prying eyes so you can tan nude and get the color you want...😏

  • definitely didn't look for an excuse to show your ass. anyway, there's special swimwear that doesn't block the sun for this purpose.

    • Something wrong with that? 😂

    • nope. just saying, if you wanna show your ass to get opinions, just straight up do that. nothing wrong with that. i don't get why people must use other actually valid questions as an excuse to show their goods.

    • I mean, it illustrates my problem I think. Two for the price of one

  • Sometimes tanlines are pretty hot too.

    Nude is the way to go though, unless somebody has some good secret tip.

  • It's called tanning booths.
