    bathing suit tan lines

    do guys think these are sexy or wierd?

    i have a pool and will be laying out regularly, and dont want to spend the money on a tanning package just to cover up my tan lines. yeah i could use fake tan stuff but i hate it.

    anyone have any feedback good or bad?

    I like them--they can really accentuate the natural curves, if you are wearing the right thing when you tan.

    I'm having this delimma, too... I use tanning booths so I don't have lines.. But, I'm a total beach bunny! Since I'm already tan with no lines... the tanning lines I'd get from my suit would be kinda light... Or, should I just slather on the sunscreen and hope for NO lines?

    Kristina, is that you in your avatar? How do you usually tan?

    I am having the same delima. I take my kids to the pool almost daily and I dont mind the top tan lines, but I hate having a white butt. I dont know, I just dont like it. I have been going to the tanning bed to to kinda help fade it out. I tan with a y-back thong on. good luck with your decision... i guess it is just personal preference.,

    I am super dark from the tanning bed yet laying pool side in a bikini has still given me tan lines. They are not to overly noticeable thank god but still enough to make me cringe. I HATE tan lines.

    You have to view them as a form of reversed out body art--the pattern of a thong on a woman with a shapely derriere is actually quite pleasing to behold.

    Now some of those granny panty bathing suits would leave bad tan lines, but other than that, there's no reason at all to think of them as a detriment, when they can actually look good.

    i absolutly hate tan lines, but I've decided not to do the tanning beds anymore, so im kind of stuck with them. im seriously tempted to get to round stickers and putting them on my nipples when i tan, lol, hopefully no one would see me. Im not really sure what I could do about the bottom other than a thong. Oh and has anyone tried those "tan through" swim suits, and know if they actually work?

    I used to always lay out in a thong. Always wore my wrap while coming / going so I wasn't totally parading, but at the end of the day, it's not illegal to wear a thong in most places and those full bottom bikinis really don't cover that much more

    The tan-through bikinis will give you tan lines; I've used them and while you can tan SOME through them, they're far from 100%.

    Many men think tan lines are sexy, like looking at something you're really not supposed to. They also do create visual interest. Most men probably don't care about them either way. I think we women are the ones who have the biggest problem with them.

    I don't like tan lines, but then I don't like tans either. I guess I'm weird... I love a deep complexion on women of naturally deep-complected races, but I think white women are prettier when white. And I don't care for tan lines, although they aren't a big turnoff either.

    Guy's perspective: I really dig tanlines...but like most aesthetic preferences there will always be lovers and haters. I'd be curious to know where most guys tastes lie on the spectrum.

    On that note, I also love tatoos on women, but I've heard they can turn off a lot of male customers (especially older more conservative guys). I don't think tan lines are directly comparable to tattoos, but like someone else posted, they are a form of mild body mod.

    I never used to like tattoos, but having worked with so many women who have them (the ones without are way outnumbered around here), I've come to appreciate the ones that have been chosen with care and placed wisely--even some of the heavily tattooed women are appealing to me now, where before it was a turnoff.

    The tanline question has I think been settled fairly well by that link posted by Lunchbox--you're not going to see contests based on unsightly aspects of women's appearance, lol...

    As far as the whole tan vs. pale skin argument, I'm inclined to agree with Yekhefah. While I've seen many a dancer with a smoking hot tan (especially here in Florida, lol), I've known women who were naturally pale who looked just as sexy without them.

    It would be cheaper and more comfortable to just wear pasties and tie a string around your crotch.

    Not really my taste; I think a little tease is sexy. That stuff looks awful on anyone with any curves whatsoever, and it's more clinical than sexy in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks though.

    I never said it was supposed to be "sexy" .. This subject is about tanning lines! If I would wanna be hot I would go with very short boyshorts with a belt, gives me lots of hips too. But I could never tan in that.

    I think tan lines look sexy on a girl IF the lines aren't pasty-ass-white. When I used tanning beds a lot, I would alternate.....one day with bikini on, one day completey nude, so that I would have more subtle tan lines. I can not even TELL you how many men commented on it's hotness when they'd get a glimpse of tan line on the back of my neck or where ever.

    EDIT: Oops, that was just for the top. the bottoms only go to M-L. thank god, b/c I was a little scared to think of that....

    Bathing suit tan lines (full or half bottoms) are tacky as heck! Get that tan evened out.
