We are all ladies of a certain age on this forum...(some more certain than others) but I wondered, considering we are in the holiday season, does anyone still wear a bikini on holiday or when sunbathing?

I could have put money on the fact that you would be hiding not only as an Anon...but also behind a proxy.

Just listen to what I say, not where I’m posting from ! As my wife says, upper arms should be put away for good after a certain age. It might be painful to admit but it’s pretty good advice really.

Older women on the beach can look very nice if what they wear is worn with class..

Maybe your wife was referring to you.

She knows her bikini days are well and truly over and is happy with that.
I don’t know about other men but I’ve got a fairly weak stomach, especially after a few jars round the pool. Last thing I need to see is a load of saggy loose skin - and worse - on ladies old enough to know better!

Helen looks all right but then again it’s not a bikini.
As for that other heifer, it’s obscene, old enough and fat enough to know better

Is that Helen Mirren, Syl?
As for the second pic, let’s be thankful she didn’t put that swimsuit on back-to-front! 🤣

Helen Mirren looks great, she was 67 when that pic was taken. No, it's not a bikini, just proving a point that women of any age can look good, or horrendous, depending on how they wear their clothes, not what they are wearing.
I still wear bikinis on the beach. I wear them with style, if I go for a walk I will wear a sarong, or a tank top, more for me than to shield gawping men with weak stomachs any discomfort.

It is Vam, she has had a few pics taken on the beach, and she always looks good.
We had drinks with her one night in a Manchester restaurant. (I may have posted this before) she was really lovely, quite unasuming for such a big star.

Nothing wrong with that at all - good for you! Ignore what that rando’s imaginary wife says.
And yep, I remember you posting about a late night session at a restaurant with a lively table sitting with Helen Mirren. She’s always been one of my favourite actresses.

'Rando's imaginary wife'
The funniest thing we saw, a few years ago, took a boat trip to some island, very peaceful, lot's of space.OH and I picked a nice deserted place to lay our beach stuff down for a couple of hours sunning and swimming. A while later we heard another couple laying down towels, quite close, which seemed odd seeing as there was so much space.
Anyway, they proceeded to strip totally naked, (it wasn't a nudist beach) but I don't judge. Then they both went in the water, proceeded to bend over and wash their legs, for ages....with their backs to us. Both were about 15 stones, it was like looking at two giant very well developed chubby toddlers bending over...pretty gross.
I wanted to take a pic to show the family, but OH thought that was weird.
After the leg washing, they came back over, dried, got dressed, and went.

A bit like the male duffers with their overhanging beer guts and flaccid moobs proudly macho strutting in their tight Speedos do you mean?

You can bet your life that the ones who make fun of women's looks and age on or off the beach, are the very ones who women swerve....it's quite sad really.

Thankfully American men don't do Speedos.
Even the ones that have the physique to pull it off.
Last time I was at a beach it was more of a shape issue, not an age issue in relation to the bikinis. I know some older women that can still rock a bikini, and some younger ones that need a bit more fabric.
I can't even remember what my daughter's wore. Probably one pieces because 2 of them were pregnant.

I don't think thongs should be worn by anyone, of any age or any sex, they just look wrong to me.
The older lady above, looks pretty horrific to me, but even the fittest, slimmest, younger women would look better a bit more covered... imo.
