Ric454,  I too remember the swimsuits that you were talking about from Parr! I’m not sure if mine were from Parr or another company but when I was a teenager in the early 80’s I literally lived all summer long in those type of bikinis. I remember wearing them and mine had a very low front and they were only about 1” wide on the hips and the majority of my lower ass cheeks were exposed and my lower back and the they came right about the top of my butt crack in the back. In the summer I remember wearing them riding my bicycle to the public pool! Back then they were no big deal and I wasn’t the only one wearing them. I also remember wearing them hanging out with my friends away from the pool and I used to never wear a shirt during the summer, those tiny bikinis were all that I wore but it was normal for my friends. I remember girls around my age wearing similar bikinis and many wore string bikinis which also exposed most of the lower ass cheeks.

Another thing I remember about those bikinis was that if you were not paying attention diving into the pool they would almost always slide down or even slip off! I can’t remember how many times I climbed out of the pool and my bikini was slipping down and everything was falling out! Nobody ever really cared about it everybody had the same issue. I also remember that the ones I wore were primarily solid colors like blue, red, and yellow. The yellow ones I remember were always sheer when wet because they didn’t have a liner. These bikinis were one of the contributing factors for me starting to trim my pubic hair because if I didn’t the hair would show above the top front and out the sides of my bikini. These were also very influential in my transition to thongs and G-strings. Honestly I think the bikinis caused way more malfunctions than my thongs. I remember dating a girl during the summer and I had a really good tan, so she bought me a white 1/4 back bikini to wear and one afternoon I was swimming in her pool when her mom came out to talk to us and I got out of the pool and my bikini had slipped down showing my tan lines and she asked if I ever wore clothes in the summer? As she was noticing my sheer front of my bikini. Then her daughter laughed and said “only when you are home” then she showed her mom her lack of tan lines.
