It's a hot sunny day and the heat's been sweltering for weeks. So far you've gone to the beach in your bikini or even wore just a bra outside while not at the beach, but you wouldn't wear a full bikini outside unless you were on a beach, and especially not a micro bikini... but what if there was a big campaign that marketed a micro bikini as being great for wearing outside on a hot sunny day? After all, whilst it doesn't cover as well as a pair of knickers [USA: panties], it covers the most intimate part of you. So would you wear on then? Please state what country you're from when replying, because of cultural differences, cheers. Here's on example of one: http://badexample.mu.nu/archives/micro%20bikini.jpg though some offer less coverage (the bare minimum for them to be legal in certain countries). As well as stating what country you're from, please also state your gender, cheers.

:eek:

It's not that much of a difference though is it... temperature wise that is

well, i hope it works.

since i'm male i wouldn't wear them because that would be quite uncomfortable, and the top would be rather useless.

When it's sweltering heat, every bit of difference helps. Clothes get all humid and horrible (hence stripping off to what's legal on beaches). Less clothing, more room for your skin to breath, more freshness.

but also more sun on your body. by your logic, why would all desert people cover their whole body up?

Don't the Bedouin wear those long robes cos it helps to keep them cool? Something to do with keeping the sun off you...

EDIT: Curses!

give us male one more thing to look at :cool:

Because they're logical. People in the UK and USA strip down to their bikinis/microbikinis/tankinis/speedos/shorts on hot beaches. And to not much more when not on a beach. Maybe it's something to do with getting a tan.

Cus if it would work, I wanna market micro bikinis as outerwear so that I can see sexy women in them :)

Microbikini?? I thought we already had those... how can the bikini possibly get any skimpier??

non-synthetic fabrics (particularly hemp) breathe really well in heat, preventing you from getting too hot or humid, iirc


anyway, as for the microbikini.... of course i'd like to see more girls wearing them! :D :p

after living in the desert for 2 years, I can tell you that it's a bad idea to be completely naked in any real amount of heat, your body will sweat but you won't have any clothes to hold in on you to keep you cool and you will dehydrate faster and sunburn something awful and probably just die.

Oh, trust me, they can... here is something that is arguably skimpier. I think I may post this one.

I've even seen one that is like a piece of dental floss, in front! It leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination, and would be legal only on a nude beach. I don't dare post a pic to that one.

Depends on how you are used to heat. I live in a hot country, and I have used myself to getting out without covering myself in large robes, but wearing the less clothing possible. Of course, we're talking about relative heat of 30-35 degress (Celsius), not the unbearable temperatures of the Sahara, too hostile for normal, static life.

Of course, that microbikini thing is ridiculous. First, that kind of tight clothing is uncomfortable, and second, it tends to slide off the place all the time. Of course, you males go to the beach in shorts and don't know how much we women need to be aware of the correct position of your bathing suit to avoid showing more than you would like to show.

I wouldn't have problems is going to work in a normal bathing suit, but I would avoid that thing at all costs.

uh.......that's pretty normal here as a "cool" day in summer, we get up to about 44C with high humidity so it seems more like 47C.......in the desert it was dryer but hotter.

Here we have temps ranging 44-46 some days, but it's not the usual weather. today we have like...32-33 more or less, for example. If you go south, near the rainforest, it can skyrocket to 40-42 a "normal" day, and I won't speak about the humidity, that is pretty tops.

I demand compulsory public nudity.



And fondue.

we have weather extremes here, it gets below freezing in the winter, and can feel up to 129F on a "normal" day in the summer.

our weather is so........weird and extreme that it's really not fair for anyone who wants to compare. :p

I bet you do. We tend to either have ice storms, severe thunder storms, or tornadoes. We don't get much "drizzle". :D

An active imagination is a good thing.

sometimes i guess, although lately i'm constantly distracted by my own thoughts while studying, that sucks and i wish i had less imagination.

after some in-depth research i came to the conclusion that microbikinis aren't realy that sexy imo. really, sometimes it's better to just leave a lot to my (over)active imagination.

I bet you do. We tend to either have ice storms, severe thunder storms, or tornadoes. We don't get much "drizzle". :D

well sometimes it drizzles.... sometimes it 'spits'
and the rest of the time it 'rains'


what is this word "severe"? :confused: ;)

Microbikinis as daily outfit? That is pretty dumb. You have miniskirts already, I dont see any need to dress in even less clothing.

About the top, well, nothing to talk about that. Topless is a choice anyone should have.

well sometimes it drizzles.... sometimes it 'spits'
and the rest of the time it 'rains'


what is this word "severe"? :confused: ;)

A severe thunderstorm is a thunderstorm with winds 92.5 kilometers/hour (57.5 mph) or greater, 1.9 centimeter (¾ in) or larger hail, funnel clouds or tornadoes.[9] These storms may contain frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and heavy downpours which can lead to localized flooding. This is a general definition which varies by country and is somewhat contentious.[citation needed] An otherwise weak thunderstorm which produces a wind gust of the required strength would be defined as 'severe' whereas a very violent thunderstorm with continuous lightning and very heavy rain (but without the required wind gusts, hail or tornado/funnel cloud) would not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderstorm

it's not uncommon here for us to have winds over 100mph with a thunderstorm.

Well, we don't have ice storms. Just hurricanes and tropical storms, that can be surprising and annonying if you happen to be nearby the beach.

but yes, we don't have an extreme weather. We just have a hot weather. In the specific case of my city, a perfect weather.

Meh, make public nudity legal and let people wear (or not, as the case may be) what the hell they like. That is my, and therefore the correct, opinion on the matter.

England (specifically) has such a bad reputation as being wet. It's really not deserved! It hardly ever rains (or spits, or drizzles :p ) here, really!

meh i don't go to the beach a lot, but i can imagine.with these things, you don't need imagination.

so what's next... Pasties and band aid?

Meh. Maybe for the beach, but not for general use. I'd get fired for wearing one to work, for example. Also, would you market an equivalent for men? Why should guys get all that eye candy and not give any to the girls? ;)

Much as I enjoy the female form, I think this might be going just a trifle too far.

that's the problem, a little bit like porn and HD, some things are better left to the imagination. when i walk over the street i don't see a lot of people i'd want to see naked. pesonaly i prefer women in nice clothes, wich can be revealing, but to much is to much.

Haha and I can come up with equally ridiculous mental images of women in microbikinis. I still think it'd be fine for the beach or pool and not general use, but if it did happen I think it would be silly for women to be walking around in microbikinis while all the men were fully clothed.

yeah, I went to look at some pictures of these "micro bikinis" and can't they photoshop out the razor burn or something?

anyway, I didn't find any of them to be very flattering, maybe the strings cut so that the body looks like it's shaped weird or something?

Personally, I don't think I'd wear that even in the privacy of my own home.

i think they could photoshop that out quite easily, but obviously they didn't :(
and strings generaly aren't that nice imo, except if someone wears cloths above it (wich accidently is the pupose of underwear).

Now that's just silly. If you're going to show off that much of your body, why bother with the pretense of wearing anything? Just go nude.

That's what I'm thinking about these micro-bikinis. I do wear a bikini because I find it more comfortable for casual swimming (though I wear a full one-piece for anything that actaully involves speed) but these are just ridiculous. I'd much rather just go to a nude beach and not wear anything at all.

Then again, I am from Canada, where, although we are not merely a land of ice and snow, we rarely get summer temperatures over 30-33C.

thats the fact an the PEEKABOO just the same, i could do that on the cheap with some nice rope

Well, exactly. And it bothers me to spend actual money on about one square foot's worth of cloth, which probably isn't all that well-made to begin with.

All seams, yeah, that about says it, Smunkee. Ripping wouldn't be a problem, there's not that much to rip, but it could come unravelled. And just be glad that's not $380 US, I've seen prices like that for about as much material.

Hey, it's February, should the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition be out soon?

Cus if it would work, I wanna market micro bikinis as outerwear so that I can see sexy women in them :)

For every sexy woman who wears one, there'll be a dozen women with (frankly) not very pretty crotches wearing them. It'd be barbaric. Big ugly, crinkly, hairy muffs wherever you want.

Besides, it'd be much cooler to just wear knickers and a nice thin skirt, that would keep everything much more aerated.

Speaking of which, there was the famous beauty Lollia Paulina, away back in the 1st century ...

I have seen Lollia Paulina, who was the wife of the Emperor Caligula,—and this not on the occasion of a solemn festival or ceremony, but merely at a supper of ordinary betrothals, —I have seen Lollia Paulina covered with emeralds and pearls, arranged alternately, so as to give each other additional brilliancy, on her head, neck, arms, hands, and girdle, to the amount of forty thousand sesterces, [£336,000 sterling, $658,000 US] the which value she was prepared to prove on the instant by producing the receipts. And these pearls came, not from the prodigal generosity of an imperial husband, but from treasures which had been the spoils of provinces. Marcus Lollius, her grandfather, was dishonored in all the East on account of the gifts he had extorted from kings, disgraced by Tiberius, and obliged to poison himself, that his grand-daughter might exhibit herself by the light of the lucernae blazing with jewels.

As ostentatious as that dress must have been, I'd like to have seen her.

EDIT: Well, sheesh, that killed the thread, didn't it? :(

She's said to have been quite pretty. The jewels were just her way of showing off. Kind of what Paris Hilton would do if she had real money.
