I say it depends on the bikini. Some are absurdly revealing. But for the most part I would say two pieces are the way to go if not a one piece.
If you DO wear one, make sure it isn't too revealing. I have seen some people who have had more decent bikinis. Find the ones that aren't too revealing. |

| To add to this, there ARE other options. A swimsuit doesn't equal a bikini. There are one pieces (although hard to find) and there are t-shirts and shorts! |

Coming from a guy I wana get this off my back, I would never wear a bikini, but as for girls wearing them I believe that it all matters on who you are; some girls like to be revieling some girls don't and I respect that.(now dont get me wrong I am not saying I like girls in bikini's) In all honesty I don't think girls should wear bikini's.

I do wear a bikini. But only because I can never find a one piece that fits everywhere. So what I do is I always wear a tank top over it. But I even feel uncomfortable wearing a low cut shirt much less a bikini.
So yeah thats my view point.  |

If you are looking for a cute, modest swimsuit, sometimes it helps to look online...
My mom found a website (www.limericki.com) that had super-cute and modest swimsuits...
My sister and I both ordered a swimsuit and we both LOVE them...
They are so cute! and fashionable! |

| I ordered a tankini and just my luck the top was too big! it works tho.I know some girls who are so obcessed with modesty they wear their jean skirts and shirts swimming. That's like inviting death! My friend had a girl from France staying with them and she was wearing a rather immodest bikini and some guys at the pool were kind of hitting on her while they left me alone. She couln't understand what they were saying and when I told her she went and changed. It made me think if you don't want the attention then dont wear that sfuff. |

Once we were at a science workshop, and I thought I'd be the only teen there (it was a Saturday, and I mean, aren't teens meant to have other stuff to do...) but there was another girl there with a quite revealing top and short shorts on. Anyway, some fathers had brought their children, and one or two planned their movements based on where this girl was standing. Ugh - makes me sick, but I am kinda glad she was there - I could just have easily been their target except for the fact that I was wearing a few more metres of fabric than her....
Totally off topic, sorry! |

| Is a one-piece, but fitted swimsuit (like this one: http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/onlineexclusives/womens/womens/PRD~475514/Speedo+Moonbeam+OnePiece+Swimsuit.jsp ) more modest than a bikini with, say, a sports top and "boy shorts"? |

Could someone tell me exactly what they are trying to accomplish in terms of modesty? You're trying to help guys not do what?
If you were to wear huge shorts and a baggy t-shirt, as soon as you get in the water it starts to cling to you and guys will check you out. No matter what you wear, water will cause your clothes to cling to you, becoming form fitting. There is no swim suit - be it a one-piece, two-piece, bikini, shorts-and-shirt, etc. - that is truly modest, if you are defining modest as dressing in a way where a guy won't notice your body. |

Okay, honestly? I hate the stares from creepy old guys when I have a halter top or my shorts are on the short side (I've had creepy guys hit on me before, not cool).
I know that my body is attractive and I am totally okay with that (wow that sounds sooo... snobby or something). I even like that guys think I am attractive.
But- believe it or not- I know tons of adults who gossip more than their teenage kids. For example, a few weeks ago a bunch of friends were in a campsite across from us at a Christian music festival, and one of the girls boyfriends came. He was the only guy on their campsite (out of 6+ people), and he only stayed one out of five nights. He stayed in his own tent. These are kids that would not do anything seriously stupid. And some of the parents of my friends think that was totally inappropriate that he was there. I'm not entirely sure how I escaped that fate myself... probably because I'm not dating any of the guys.
Anyway, I am judged not only by having a body worth showing off, but because I want to. I wasn't exactly being thoughtful to guys about my question, I was just wondering what people consider to be more modest. |

| Honestly? The swimsuit you linked to is an invitation for guys to stare at your legs. Boy shorts + sport top is definitely more modest, IMO. But as David said, any swimsuit, no matter how modest, won't stop guys from noticing your body. |

| Oh my Adelyn don't even start me on judging church adults. Just the fact I HAVE a boyfriend brings more condemnation than you could imagine. Evil glares, "can you believe her"s, and just a general condeming atmosphere surround us. Its like one of the seven deadly sins at my church. I hate it. It hurts when you see such dissapointment and dissaproval on the face of your pastor. It really makes me saddd. As far as bathing suits go, I mean at a beach most guys expect to see girls dressed in less. If thats what they want, they will make anything you wear seem immodest. If they wanna, they can do it. I mean, I have trouble with girls who think covering thier whole body or even not swimming is the only way to go. I mean, I wear a tankini that covers my belly, but the back is kinna more open. The neck is a lil deeper but im lacking in the chest department so it really doesn't do much more than show an inch of skin. So like, I mean i just dont think its feasable to keep all guys from not looking at you at the beach....idk....its just confusing. I mean I wouldn't show that much leg or chest just walking around and I wear a cover-up out of the water, but at the beach its just not the same...or maybe it should be...idk ??? opions? Guys what do you think? should girls follow all the same rules they do outside of the beach at the beach? Or is thier a different accpeted dress code? David- your thoughts? |

MLHW, I know what you mean about the condemnation! here's my advice:
let them get used to the idea. that's what one of my closest and oldest girl friends told me the other day. I was venting on her about one of my younger (16 years) guy friends saying, "psht, I know that he's liked... like, 5 girls in the past month!" (in reference to the guy I like and who likes me back.) my girl friend said people usually just need to get used to the idea of me with somebody, since I never have been. it may take a while, but I need to give them some slack. sure, my guy friend's comment was completely untrue and uncalled for, but. (needless to say, he apologized for it the next day.) it may seem like you want to pull your hair out most days, I know how that feels, but trust me, I believe things will change! |

| I'm in the same predicament mylifeshiswill! Can't people accept a good thing? It's not up to everyone else to chose who I court! I want the approval of those I value. My parents are finally accepting the fact I'm old enough to be interested in a man...it means so much to me to have my mom finally looking at my bf with approval rather than suspicion!! |

| Well its been almost 11 months that people have had to get used to it, and sometimes it feels like its still the first week. My mom is great, my dad is calm- they know whats going on and they dont jugde. My little siblings have adopted him as thier big brother. I mean, he comes over the house at least once a week and our family just hangs out together. Yet, people in the church don't know whats going on, they just know I went from not having a boyfriend, and being positive I never would - to falling in love "way to young." Have some of thier warnings come to pass? Oh sure, but that doesn't mean I've fallen from grace. I hate that they just "assume" whats going on, when really none of them have taken the time to really know. They gossip and gossip...but they have never asked the source. I really just wish people would stop... |

To get back on to the question: I personally would still wear shorts and a top over that swimsuit you posted, Adelynn. I am also careful to pull my wet clothes away from my body when I leave the pool/beach. Yes, wet clothes are still figure hugging, but it's either that or not go swimming at all. Is a t-shirt clinging for a few seconds more revealing than a bunch of strings and a rag the size of your palm?
