How to get the confidence up to wear a bikini at the beach?

Question

Ive bought a bikini, for the beuatiful hot heatwave weather, we are heading for the beach today, how can i get the confidence to go and wear the bikini at the beach? Without cowering and covering it with my arms everytime people look!

Answer 1

Sod the lot of them! Look around you on the beach - you'll see all shapes and sizes displayed for all the world to see! You may feel a little large compared to some of them, but I bet you look like a supermodel compared to the majority of real women! Smile, swing your hips and be proud of your womanly curves. A sarong around your hips may help your confidence and give you even extra confidence! Enjoy!!

Answer 2

put it on, maybe wear a sarong or t-shirt over it until you feel a bit more confident about taking it off.

Think of all the people at the beach - Im sure most of them are uncomfortable about something to do with their body, or a little shy, just take it slowly.

At the end of the day, im pretty sure no one is going to notice or care what u look like in bikini, unless you are extremely overweight, in which case they might look, so a swimming costume is probably wiser, if you feel uncomfortable walking down the beach past people to go in the sea, pop your t-shirt on and swim with it on.

Its so hot, a lot of people do this to prevent burning shoulders, i certainly do in this heat.

Good luck, be brave and enjoy your day - you lucky thing. Ive got to go to work.

Answer 3

just look around at all the shapes beside you not caring or if they are don't show it .
Doing that with arms will just make you look stupid so think about that.
On the beach everyone is the same so you shouldn't feel out of place it would be different walking into your local shop.
Just go for it enjoy the day get a tan and enjoy a swim.

Answer 4

Sweetheart you should go to beach and have a great time, the weather is hardly ever like this you should make the most of it and enjoy yourself! We are real people not plastics!

ps wish I was down the beach, unfortunatly i have to work! Have an ice cream for me.

Answer 5

honey, you will have to learn that the more you try to cover, the more people will stare. and the whole idea of the bikini is to show off. if you dare to buy a sexy bikini, it means that you are confident of your body. therefore go out there and have a great time. you are beautiful enough.

Answer 6

posture is the first step, stand up tall yet still act natural, i lived in tenerife and spent loads of time on the beach, the most attractive looking women seemed to be feeling confident in their own skin. Be confident!!! oh and by the way there arnt as many beach goddess' as you may think!!!

Answer 7

You can lie in the sun (or better, the shade today!) and look glamorous with confidence. Take a lovely floaty long blouse or similar to cover your embarassment when you stand up - you can say it's to prevent burning!(Which is probably a good idea anyway)

Answer 8

be confident and happy in the way you look. I'm sure you look great in the bikini. If in doubt, ask a trusted guy friend (girls are too likely to be bitchy)
Have fun and don't get too burnt
B

Answer 9

Just do it.

As with any fear, you only get over it by doing the feared thing, and realising that nothing bad happens. Wear that bikini in public for a while and you will wonder why you ever feared to do so.

(caveat, some things we fear for good reason e.g. getting injured).

I could desire to agree. Boracay is a vacationer spot on the Philippines. i could want to declare that Filipino's are not somewhat used to finding at people who wears no longer something yet a thong bikini . yet I do could desire to declare that there is no regulation interior the Philippines it is combating you to be donning those.
