We’re obviously cool with body positivity and showing some skin if you so wish here at Gurl. But we’re also about having a little empathy and understanding that not everyone experiences bodily comfort the same way.
Take bikinis for instance. Whether it’s self-consciousness or a general inclination towards less revealing cuts, bikinis can be a tough battleground when it comes to finding one that you feel comfortable wearing. I like bikinis and all, but I’m not into wearing bikinis that are super stringy or don’t have much fabric to ‘em. I like a little more coverage than many bikinis offer.
In the last few years, I’ve noticed that there has been an increase in bikinis (and bathing suits in general) being made with larger breasts in mind. That’s awesome! You know what’s not so awesome? Finding a bunch of bikinis that work for your big boobs, but also look like you’re just wearing a bra. Not that there’s anything wrong with bras, and I’m not trying to be super picky here, but… sometimes we just want to wear something that looks like a regular bikini!
