Freedom

It may be their culture

Mostly religious reasons in India...and culteral reasons in America.

They follow strict moral code that does not allow them to dress so conservatively. Things such as esposing face and other body parts would display an openness to the flesh. Also ths comes down from generations of women as well. Also, it would warrant unnnecessary attention, which is why mosy Indian women if they do bear midriffs, would wear a sari to cover up.

Cultural differences. Why do women go topless on French beaches, but get arrested for it on most American beaches?

Even a swimsuit is a big thing for an Indian girl. It is modesty. Is considered indecent to show a body in public. Only a few city bred girls wear a swim suit.

And Indian village girls bathe in rivers and ponds fully clothed! They are good natural swimmers and swim fully clothes which is wearing long skirts.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES. In France for example, women can go topless on the public beaches,a thing which would promptly get them arrested for indecent exposure in the United States and most other places. Every culture has its no-nos,and Indian culture is simply alot more conservative than that of the US in very many respects. In Nigeria, the Indian sari would be considered risque amongst most conservative folks as it bares the midriff. The respectable Nigerian lady wants to look trendy but COVERED. A respectable American mother can wear shorts in public without raising any eyebrows but a respectable Nigerian mother until very recently indeed ,would only wear shorts at home,and even now, would probably not attempt a pair of shorts that exposed any thing above the knee, so as not to scandalise her inlaws at least. Muslim women are prohibited from wearing noisy shoes from what I'm made to understand. And in Elizabethan England, a maiden lady would be expected to bare her bosom nearly to the nipples as a sign of her virginity but keep her arms covered to the wrists or be written off as a wanton! It's all about the cultural environment.

Indian girls are more conservative than Americans, so they like to cover more of their body.

because Indian girls have ugly mid sections

I tried my wife's one piece swimsuit on while drinking (rather heavily) one night and found it very comfortable!! Let's please refrain from the gay comments it is just a piece of fabric people not sexual at all!!

If it looks good and your NOT embarrassed then, show some taste?

I'd be at the beach because i like watching the sea and sitting on the sand not to be people watching.I'd be wearing what makes me feel comfortable and not what others would like me to be wearing.If you wanna go to the beach this way go for it hun,though be aware some people do people watch if you dont feel you can take the comments think twice if you feel you can then do it, don't let others ruin your day.Criticism is to be taken on board and used ONLY if its useful helpful or protective to you otherwise bin it its not needed.

Well, I wouldn't say it's exactly typical, but if your pretty self conscious I wouldn't go out in public wearing it...

There are, however, men's one piece suits that you can find on the internet if you really are into this...

People are naturally judgemental, however, and will jump to conclusions. If you want to keep your reputation...I suggest you stay at the home pool in your one piece.

Uhh... Your "heavy drinking" shall deflect you from that, but under normal circumstances that's just weird. Are you self-conscious of your body or something? If you don't like some aspect of your body, either learn to be comfortable with it (just think, there's probably someone 200 lbs. overweight with bigger man-boobs than Maxi Mounds and more back hair than a wolf) or do something about it (e.g. work out if you're heavier, get creams if you have body acne, etc.)...

Or if all else fails and you want immediate gratification, wear a standard-grade T-shirt as a cheap option (not a white undershirt; the material may be too thin), or go all out and wear a full-body diving suit.

I would definitely do a double take. I would think that's odd, but I wouldn't think on it for longer than a minute. He's free to do what he likes. As long as he's appropriately covered to be around children I wouldn't care what he does.

Do: nothing. Think: The guy's in drag. Say: "look at that freak - either he's in drag or lost from another century". Get real. It's just not done. Tell you what - I would wear a Speedo and go topless if dudes start wearing womens one-pieces.

I would say:

"Corey, is that you? No? Oh, Dalton? oh, not even... Hey is that u 'Valley Girl'?"

Because I have 3 friends (corey,dalton, and my brother) who act like they are girls and they are straight...

sounds like them...

I would avoid such a man. A real man should show a little fashion sense. I am sure that you can find a men's suit that is comfortable. I would be embarrassed to be seen with such a man.

I'm able to get to totally deserted beaches where I don't have

to be confronted by stuff like that. ; )

i would laugh. but i don't blame you, haha. womens suits are quite comfortable. i hear compared to guys anyway.

I LOVE IT!!!! hahahah lmao. i dont think its sexual i think its hilarious! There has to be more men like you out there for entertainment purposes!! lol

i would die of laugther..seriously i will automatically assume that either your gay or either you have been dare!!!!

honestly I would probably giggle a little point you out quietly to my friend and not my children and go on - I don't think I would judge you - I would probably just think you were being silly.

omg wow thanks 4 putting that thought in my head fyi i didnt need it but i would prolly point and laugh srry its just not normal

Men in the 30's & 40's used to wear one piece suits! You could start a new/old trend!

I would think that your partly insane or a drunk. There are people who can help you.

nothing. as long as ur not a nuisance or whatsoever.. i would not care for you..

dnt care its still gay

Are there a lot of people out there that are that ignorant that a womens body scares them?

The female athletes actually are better off. The sand that gets trapped in between cloth and the skin is very irritating. The less you wear in beach volleyball, the better off you are. The question that should really be asked is why the men are being forced to wear shirts.

no that would be stupid nobody should care they r just in sports bras and matching bikini bottoms and they r in shape so its not gross

I don't know. If they are they are stupid.

You could wear formal gown, but it would be a little out of place. A parka may be too warm.

I say whatever you are comfortable in.

Shorts with tank tops.

You can get pretty modest swimsuits too or just get a regular swimsuit and wrap a sarong around your waist for a cool look.

short T-shirt and a skirt(pareo)... or nothing at all:))))

I worry less about nudity than the violent movies people let their kids watch. Its a beach for crying out loud. Swim (bathe) and sun.

I would be more worried about old farts staying dressed walking around with binoculars. They are the perverts.

depends if she's got a fat @$$, it might scare the kids.. i think its a great way for a dad to see if his teenage son is a fa gg ot or not!

Bring the thongs, beaches need more eye-candy.

she has little self-awareness of the effect she has on others...

See it here in Florida all the time. Go thongs.

There are bikini thongs and bikini thongs. Some are mere postage stamps on a football field and others enhance the feminine mystique. The former in my opinion are attention-seeking trash.

In my opinion there is a big difference between womanly allure and downright flaunting of sexuality. In fact any woman who wears camel toe, minimal nipple cover thong swimsuits in public should be shamed. I have designed for strippers who wear more in public, the same who are considered by some to be trash.

In choosing a thong set look to the top first. If you have normal breasts - non-augmented - then go for a top that enhances your Bust shape like Halter necks or those tops supplied by Xen swimwear. No under-wires if possible.

As for the thong panty, Thongs should only be worm by women who can carry them off well. If not, wear them at your home pool where your husband or BF will appreciate you.

Be sure that you have no cellulite and not too much of a wobbly bum. If you have a flat or a drop bum do not wear the thong in a T bar fashion, as you will look as broad as a Bus.

Round and Pert bums do best in public particularly if they are Veed into the crease and flow with the body.

To those who think Thongs are disgusting in public, give your husband’s blinkers, loose weight; train yourself to have confidence in your relationship.

As for the Kids, they see more nudity in advertising, TV, and Internet, than at any beach or public pool.

I see nothing wrong with it.

trashy

Please tell me what beach is that!! and how do i get there.

Inappropriate. There are kids around. Unless the thong wearer wants to help parents explain to their young children about sex (properly)... then it's ok.

I think she's hot. If you are so worried about it, just wear a one piece.

What do you mean by "family beach"? Are there any restrictions preventing single people from going there? Anyway, there's not a thing wrong with it. After all, it's a beach, and you don't go to a beach to cover up.

I think "I wish I could wear one of those."

I don't like thong bikini bottoms. I happily swim topless, but always wear a full bottom. Thongs are trashy

I don't have a problem with it. It's her life she can do whatever she wants.

I don't know I get mixed thoughts about it sometimes. I think it shows too much for a family beach, but in your own pool I think it is fine, or if there is such thing as other than a family beach then it is fine there also. I mean would you wear thong underwear in your home around your kids? I don't know it's your decision on how YOU feel.

If she is attractive! ohh yeah! let her be! But if she is your woman and you dont want attention! tell her! she will listen that you care! If she trying to be slutty! That means there is something wrong with your relationship! You need to fix it!!

How old is she!

it depends if she is super fat but if she is normal that will turn me and increase my tamperture if no where i am talking. if she don't have a man than i can talk her to six flags not the six flags where you ride rollar coster

I think it's pretty inappropriate... considering there are children around. There's just no reason for that.

which is your fave for wearing or not wearing as the case may be

from "Futurama"

"I've found the most erotic part of a woman is the Boobies."...

well, if i were in france i would go topless. i love how so many europeans are so much freer with that kind of thing. but in the u.s. you could get obscenity charges so i prefer to stick with a bikini

I've always worn bikinis at the beach. I always wore a 1-piece for swim team. I've been going topless at my lake cabin for a few years when I could, but now I go nude as much as I can.

If I'm Feeling A Bit Uncomfortable With My Body Then A Swimsuit

Otherwise Id Probably Wear A Bikini

Hope I Helped =]

Well, if I'm in a different country, I love going topless! But if I'm hear in the states, I wear a nice and cute bikkini(:

hope this helped x3

Bikini when I have to, and topless when I can. And when I go to the right beaches, naked.

Deff a bikini.

-Cassie(:

I am going on a trip to Florida April 2, and will be about 25 weeks pregnant at that point. If you have shopped for maternity swimsuits you know it sucks, so i found a cut halter style bikini top (with lots of support) and a pair of mens board shorts to wear at the beach. When i got home my boyfriend wasn't sure it is proper etiquette to show my pregnant belly at the beach or not. What do you think?

I'd wear a shirt over it. I know celebrities show off the belly, or the whole body like Demi Moore, but I don't think you should be so exposed. Personal opinion.

Make sure you wear sunblock and don't get too much sun. (Sorry, I'm being a mom!)

congrats

When I had my first child I her due date was at the beginning of September, so I was very pregnant during the summer. I tried and tried to find a good maternity swimsuit but couldn't find anything that fit or was cute. So just bought a bikini with a good underwire top and that worked great. I got lots of compliments on it. I wore a little halter top over it at times especially in the middle of the day for a little more sun protection. But in general my belly was just there for the world to see and people were very complimentary about it.

So if you are comfortable showing your belly then go for it. It is hard enough to find anything that fits during pregnancy, so if you find something that works then wear it.

When I was 26 or 27 weeks we went to puerto rico and I just wore one of my 2 piece bikini's that I had already. Nothing else on me is bigger except my stomach so it didnt look bad. Its whatever your comfortable with! Im almost 38 weeks pregnant now and I still have no stretch marks and I think I look awesome for being pregnant so I would still wear the 2 piece! Its really up to you though hun...Good luck and have fun in Florida!!! Its cold where I am right now lol.

I think it's fine. During both of my pregnancies I wore the same bikini that I do now. I saw no reason to spend extra money on a maternity bathing suit when I had one that would still fit me just fine.

If anyone has a problem with it, they'll just have to get over it. Besides, my husband told me I looked cute when I was pregnant and in my bikini. :)

its not for me, i have seen people do it, and i really dont like the way it looks. in my opinion, if no other time in your life, is the time for modesty. but i would never tell someone else that they cant do it, if that is what they really want, it is just not for me. only my husband, children, and midwife see my pregnant belly in all its glory

I think that if you are proud of your pregnant body - show it off!!! I'm not sure there is such a thing as 'proper etiquette' at a beach... unless you're nude. Look at some of the bathing suits other women wear - little left to the imagination, no? I say go for it hun! Good luck to you - just be sure you wear plenty of sunscreen!!!

I think it's perfectly fine to wear a 2 piece bathing suit durining pregnancy. I am 24 weeks pregnant and I wear one. My husband loves it he thinks pregnant women are quite sexy. I say wear it, even if you have stretch marks, in my opinion those are just honor badges.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and wore a bikini today. its my body and im proud of my child (i wish she would come out already!!) if people stare or make rude comments that's them being immature. 25 weeks is not big and as long as you're comfortable who cares what other people think.

I wore a 2 piece my first pregnancy at 32 weeks, stretch marks and all, so I vote it's okay. I'll be wearing a 2 piece this time around as well. There's always someone who will look worse in their swimsuit than a cute prego, so I go for it.

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. If you feel more comfortable and happier wearing a 2 piece then I don't see why you shouldn't. And your on a beach so why shouldn't you be able to show your pregnant belly. I say wear it.

I think it's just fine, pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Who cares what others think. If you feel comfortable with wearing a two piece swinsuit then you should wear it.

As long as you're comfortable, it's fine. The only reason there aren't many out there is because most women aren't comfortable in bikinis while pregnat or because the people who make them weren't comfortable in them themselves.

http://www.surfsupmaternity.com/

If you're comfortable with it, go for it. I've never worn a 2 piece bathing suit in my life, but that's just me. I think it's cute.

I THINK THAT IT IS NORMAL TO WEAR A 2 PIECE BIKINI ON THE BEACH! I MEAN YOUR HUMAN ARENT YOU . . . IT IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU DOING SO! I WILL DO IT TO IF I WERE IN YOUR SITUATION

WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK

Never be ashame to show your belly being pregnant is the most beautiful thing. And always you go as you feel.

Of course it's ok!!! Especially if YOU are comfortable. There is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is no "bad etiquette" in showing your belly!

I think a woman's pregnant belly is beautiful and should be shown off when ever possible!

Of course it is fine! Don't worry about it! If you feel comfortable with it, then it is your body and who cares what everyone else thinks!! Good Luck!! :)

It cute! Wear it! If someone doesn't like it their probably just jealous you look better in a bikini then they do.. Go for it.

Sure why not, its not like people are going to ***** at you for being pregnant.

OMG it's totally fine & CUTE! I'm 35 weeks and would totally sport a 2 piece if we lived anywhere near a beach!

Yes! I think it's cute. I'll do it!

I wouldn't do it, but if someone else is doing it that's her business.

yeah of course its ok to wear it.

I think it's cute and so do many other people only as long as u dont got alot of stretch marks!! So go for it girl!

You will probably not like my answer but, i agree with your b/friend. I for one don't want to see anyone's big belly.

Or have you ever seen anyone (female or male) wearing a thong swimsuit at an Iowa beach?

No, but do whatever you like. If somebody doesn't like how you look, tell them not to look at you.

Do whatever you feel.

Good luck.

I don't know the answer but I know where you can find out the answer, Try posting your question on the Thong Wearers Message board, http://thongboard.aimoo.com

It is a board for people who wear thongs to the beach and they have over 6,000 members.

You will have to create a user ID before you can read the postings but sign up is free. Use the search tool to look for 'Iowa' on the board.

The rules may vary depending if it is private land, city land, a county park or state land or a state park.

There have been reports that thonging is ok at places like Big Creek state park, but do check the message board.

why do girls not wear shorts at the beach/pool?

I've been wondering why we (girls) don't wear shorts at the beach or any swimming pool like guys do?

Why do girls prefer wearing swimsuits that look like bra and panties instead?

Don't you feel like you are wearing your underwear at the beach/pool?

They do look the same except sometimes the fabric is not the same.

I suppose bikinis or one-piece swimsuits are sexier than shorts but I wanted to know what you girls think.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wearing a two piece bikini. The problem is the poor judgement that many ladies have when selecting their swimsuit. It is good practice to make sure that your bikini is lined. Unfortunately, with stores like Walmart selling cheap swimwear many girls wear these cheap swimsuits and get out of the pool wet with a see through bikini. Check out http://WorldSwimwear.com for some quality, but inexpensive swimwear.

It is all about attracting the opposite sex. If we all wore full body one piece swimsuits like the Muslims then we would look real stupid would we not Or we would have traveled back about 100 years when all swimmers were required to wear FBS?

Now the the bikini is the extension of the Bra and panties that is why there was such a brouhaha at the time when women FIRST wore them in public. Today men and women love the freedom of the bikini.

Some women like the obese should never where bikinis nor should the fat young girls wear low slung jeans or swimsuits but then who really pays attention to what you look like if you are in fashion.

ha thats a really good question I totally get what your talkign about.

I work at a pool. I see the girls coming in.

I guess its just that sexy, flirty gets attention look when a girl wears a bikini. Especially when teen girls are trying to attract guys.

Its the way it makes her feel. Some girls do prefer shorts though.

Anyway maybe thats just me!!

bye

cause we dont want to look lik sluts lol

but ter is some ppl who wer nothing at da beach

nd u dont want to swim wil naked ppl

lol

IDK

Try a tankini. I love those! Kohls has some really nice ones.

go to hollister they have swimsuits the size xs, but u have to have boobs to wear those, um try forever 21, American Eagle, and target and get 1 piece

You should wear a 2 piece, but you could also wear like a beach wrap skirt over the top so your not walking aroung in swim wear. One suggestion do't wear boardshorts.

definitely go with 2 piece

if u feel uncomfortable wear a tankini, but ur gonna feel left out

victorias secret has the CUTEST bathing suits so youll be sure to find something there

hope this helps and have fun(:

2 piece..you'll look younger in a one piece
