Michelle asked:
My friend invited me to go swimming with her and some some other friends. I'm 15 and my mom won't let me get a bikini, even with my own money. I don't want to look like a dork in a one piece. And I don't like tankinis because that part that hangs in front of the stomach feels weird. I found this really cute red bikini. I have a perfect bikini body, but my mom says they are too revealing. Should I buy one and just hide it from her or what?

maybe you could get a bikini with shorts as bottoms or choose one with a little skirt on the bottom. as for the top, try to get one with the most fabric possible. maybe you could get a little dress to cover your bikini so you wouldnt be walking around in just your bikini the whole time except when you swim and then you could just put it on when you get out. good luck

Thats what I would do she is being way to over protective.

Well some bikinis can be a little bit to releaving, but i would just say i am getting to the point were i can pick out my own bathing suits and just say i will pay you dont even have to see me in it. i understand how your mom will not let you get one, my friend was in the pool with one and her top feel off. haha ,
Good /Luck

You can always get the kind that has the boy shorts. At 15 you really don’t wanna have everything that hangs out. Some one pieces are really cute. Don’t lie to her cuase then you will never have her trust again. There are ways to working around this. Good Luck.

Don’t lie to your mom. Trust me, it doesn’t work and only leads to problems later. For right now listen to what she says but keep working on getting her to come around to your point of view.
Til then, I’d suggest a tankini. Try looking at Kohl’s, JCPenney, or Macy (these ones are kind of pricey) for some cute ones. Really you’ll be able to find one that makes you look amazing.
Good Luck!

Get a suit with plenty of support and coverage up top, maybe the bra top style, and boyshort bottoms. They are adorable on almost everyone, and with no cheek hanging out it should satisfy your mom.

she wont let you wear a bikini ?!
ive been wearing bikinis since i was 5 or 6 !
LOL.
just get like.. the bikinis that have shorts as bottems.
or you can buy the one you really likeed,
or.. when you leave your house wear the one she wants you
to and on your way to your friends house put on the bikini,
or put it on once you get there.
or you could talk to her and tell her your old enough now,
and your becoming a young women and want to decide what
you want to wear and not your mom.
or you want to try new things,
is there going to be boys there ?!
if not tell her no boys will be there so theres nothing to worry
about, even if there was boys i wouldn’t worry.
hope you can wear the one you want to.

i cant beleive that she wont let you wear a bikini.i think its okay to wear a bikini as long as it aint too revealing and “stringy” if that makes sense. to be honest i dont know how u can convince her,try and convince her as much as you can. and as much as i love my bikinis there are some nice one piece suits. so if she says no just lok for one of those.

First dont follow the crowd. Wear a one piece. Not only will you be comfortable about not running around in underwear but, one pieces are extremely in style this year! Here you go doll…
almost half are one piece! be fashion forward and make your mom happy! And your friends jealous!
