Try to find a "sporty" bikini, one that has a bit higher of a waist line to hide that "muffin top" that we all hate that we have. For the top, try to find more full coverage, even something like a sports bra. Once you're used to that, you'll feel more confident in something a bit smaller. Oh, and remember, that black is more slimming that bright, bold prints across your butt. :-)
that flat stomach flat chest would never get a second look from the average man.
Hate to burst your bubble, but you're describing me there and I have to beat them off with a stick. If I were inclined to date younger men, I could totally be the most successful cougar ever, with all the 20-somethings trying to get with me.
My problem is that I don't want to date someone 20 years younger than I am, I just want that one really nice hot sexy guy within about 10 years of my age...and the trouble with them is they're all going after the 20-something women.
I will be 49 this month. I wear a tankini but I did wear bikinis when I was in my 20's.
Go for it and don't even worry about what others say, if anything. People that criticize are jealous and don't have the balls to do it themselves.
How many of you wear bikinis? How do you find the confidence?
Here is my dilemma. I am turning 24 soon and have NEVER worn a bikini.
I have worn a TANK-ini. But not the real deal. I REALLY feel like I need to wear one this year b/c I am not getting any younger and will regret it when I am 50 if I don't wear sexy bathing suits now.
I have NO PROBLEM wearing short skirts or cleavage bearing tops to a bar. But for some reason, I can't get myself into a bikini. I feel like in clothes, I am very good at buying items that show off what I got and hide what I don't got or don't want anyone to see. I feel like a bikini is just so out there, no place to hide! LOL.
My breakdown I am "curvy"...Not ashamed to say size 8 in clothes...nice legs, a little stomach pudge, a booty and really large boobs (always ANOTHER hard part of finding a bathing suit).
I know I am not a stick...never will be and don't really even want to be...and sometimes at the beach I see women 250++++ pounds with cellulite (which thankfully I don't have yet) strutting their stuff! I really envy their confidence! But I just can't make myself do it. I am afraid b/c I am just a little curvy and not huge, people will COMPARE me to the model like girls and think I look huge in comparison.
I know it sounds stupid lol.
Anyway, I am going to the gym a lot and really wanna make myself do this this year.
Please share your bikini tales.
ummm, slobber slobber, did it ever occur to you, drooooooooool, that we might like that type of body shape? pant pant!
Oh girl , just do it! Wear one and be confident. To me, in my opinion, a woman or person who is and looks confident is what is attractive to me. So please dont beat yourself up!
Shoot-I'm 53 and wear a bikini! I've never been large, but I do lots of crunches to keep that tummy in shape! (2 kids--you know what happens!) When I'm in the sun, I want as much sun coverage as possible!
Wear one!
I say go for the bikini - get a high waisted one with a sexy v in the front. And being confident is the main thing - have you ever seen a not very pretty or dumpy girl get a lot of attention? That is because she has that aura of confidence and a devil may care attitude - that is what is really sexy.
