I’m a momma and I was planning on driving my son down to the beach with some family/friends. I haven’t worn a bikini since my younger days since I’m super busy nowadays as a single mom working 2 jobs. As I was trying on some of my older bikinis, I couldn’t help but wonder how my younger self was confident enough to be this exposed. I’m not insecure about my body or anything, actually I’m pretty confident since I go to the gym often, so genuinely how do other women have the confidence to rock a bikini?

    You are literally exposing yourself. And if you aren’t cognizant of that then you are either numb or acclimated.L

    And these smug commenters are like people raised on a farm wondering why you might physically gag if you’ve never seen an animal butchered in person before. It’s only natural.

        I don’t. People just misunderstood my comment. Your skin is literally exposed.

        You can think one way and your body can still react another is what I was trying to say. And that it isn’t necessarily prudish to be uncomfortable with nudity if you’re not used to it.
