      Swim shorts and tank are so easy! You can swim, or walk along the beach and you’re covered enough to stop in a beach bar and dry enough to get in your car.

      A one piece suit is still very form fitting and skimpy.

      How often do you consider what your crotch and butt folds look like when getting dressed?

          Oh. A skirt that goes slightly below the crotch? And is still skin tight?

          And what about the rest of the bathing suit?

            These are designed to be worn in the water so more fabric is just more wet material to carry around. Also, anything extra just floats and/or sticks to you. Have you worn a T-shirt in the water? When wet it’s only hiding skin, not shape.

              Yes. I’m a very fat man. I wear a shirt. I have the option to flick it once or twice and suddenly the world isn’t looking at every fold of my man boobs.

              If I were wearing the spandex material of a woman’s bathing suit on as my top, everyone would see my man boobs all the time, dry or wet.

        I think this is a fair point. People keep talking about skirts and things but the reality is if you go to a store, 98% of the bathing suits will be like this.

        That being said, in a lot of the world, men’s bathing suits are like that too. So it’s sort of an American dilemma

    I don’t think they do. I’m pretty sure they can buy any kind of bathing suit they want. Last time I went to Target they had all different types of bathing suits on display lol

        turns out if you crop out all the stuff that disproves your claim you only get stuff that proves you right.

        shame.

          Oh, I didn’t know you were blocked from the internet and cannot post your own evidence. I’m so sad for your sheltered world. I hope you get internet access some day.

          PS For the other people who can think, I did leave purposely leave enough space below to show there are not other options that were cropped out.

            i don’t know why i am feeding this behavior but just to prove how much of a troll and liar you are

            but continue with your gross questions and “only options” lies.

          What if someone doesn’t want to show off their entire hip, the shape of their ass, their crotch, their stomach, their boobs, their under arms, or their bare back, or their bare arms?

          When men wear a shirt, they can easily go into any informal setting.

          A woman would have to completely wear a completely different top and different bottoms to be able to go most places.

            I’m not Muslim, I just hate the sun. These all have a foam insert that keeps your nips private and the head part is separate and optional.

    Maybe supply and demand? Woman buy smaller and smaller bikinis so they sell them smaller.

    Are some options for people who don’t want clothing that is skintight and revealing.

    I’ve very occasionally seen brands like this at box stores. But the vast majority of time if you want something that isn’t skin tight you have to get shorts designed for men and some sort of sports top with a shirt.

    Yes. Baggy clothing isn’t optimal for swimming, and trunks will tend to stick awkwardly anyway, but a lot of guys would feel uncomfortable if speedoes were the only option. I know I would.

    It’s a double standard plain and simple.

      Yes, I’m commenting on the standard, not attacking you.

      I don’t hear about boys having problems with average to baggy shorts. To find anything smaller than average shorts, you have to actively look for it, and run into places that plain don’t carry that.

      Don’t forget the burkini, as well as plain old surfing and diving clothes, both of which often come in full body coverage (as do professional swimming costumes, like for the Olympics).

      So women might be expected to wear skimpy swimwear by society, but that by no means equals having to.

        You obviously haven’t been looking at many burkinis. A burkini is a combo of a burkha and a bikini so they’re designed for Muslim women who are stricter in following the Quran. There’s no fucking way that they are designed for showing off a woman’s figure prominently. Unless you think burkha’s are form fitting.

    Men are expected to go naked from the waste up. And as a gay man I can say that’s quite sexy sometimes. Should we not consider that skimpy?
