Question

Does a bandeau bikini have straps?

Community Answer

They tend to be optional to remove. They can come with them, not come with them at all, or commonly, be removable.

Question

Could I wear a bikini instead of underwear?

Community Answer

Wearing it normally is probably not a good idea, because many swimsuits have darker and brighter colors and patterns that may show through clothes.

Question

Can I go to a party without a top?

Community Answer

If you have the bikini top on at least, then you don't necessarily need a shirt on top of that depending on the party.

Question

How do I insert a pad in this panty?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

It is usually not recommended to use pads when wearing a bikini. If your pad has those wings that fold over the bikini bottom, they are visible, which most women find an uncomfortable thought. The same goes for if your pad is relatively thick: it will be visible that you're wearing a pad. However, it is perfectly normal that you use these, so you can use pads if you want to. Just remember to not go swimming with pads, that will lead to a mess. If you want to swim on your period, consider using tampons instead of pads.

Question

Can I be totally naked at a party?

Community Answer

That depends on whether or not the host is okay with people skinny-dipping. I don't recommend just taking off your clothes without asking first.

Question

Can I show my boobs at a pool party?

Community Answer

It depends all on who is at the party and if there will be photos taken. If someone takes a photo of you in a bikini with your boobs showing, and the most important person in your life happens to see it (boss, parents, school teacher, spouse, etc.), would you want them to see that?

Question

How do I hand wash a bikini?

Community Answer

Just put in in a sink or large washing bowl and pour in some liquid laundry detergent. Then scrub it until it is clean. Then rinse and hang it out to dry. Some bikinis require certain detergents because they are more delicate, so make sure to read the labels on the bikini.

Question

What if the bottom string untied and someone saw and laughed?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

It's OK, it happens sometimes. Just tie it back up and shrug it off. Bikini makers are keenly aware that their bikinis' main function is to stay on no matter what the circumstances, so they make them really well and these accidents don't happen very often. But if they do, it's only a moment; fix it, focus on something else, forget about it.

Question

What if my bikini string suddenly untied while I was swimming and there are guys at the pool? What should I do if that happen?

Community Answer

That has happened to me before. Face the pool wall and try to retie it. If there is a friend around, ask her to cover you or help you tie it. If none of these work, I suggest putting your arms across your chest and gripping the opposite shoulder with your hands while you try to get to a bathroom or other private place.
