Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/13/2018 05:05:10Copy HTML I have never seen a guy in a uk pool in anything less than a speedo , I don’t personally think a thong is really appropriate there . In a sauna yes maybe . Half backs and tangas would be nice to see . I know some guys get down to much less according to their posts but certainly where I have been I think there would be an issue . Hotel pools are probably a different issue not being council run and of course you are crossed by their palms with silver so they are likely to be more tolerant . I am joining a hotel club soon and see what style I feel I can get down to and be comfortable (ish) with . I think it’s likely to be a tanga 3/4 seat Or a 1.5 cm bikini brief

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/14/2018 01:15:07Copy HTML From personal experience and observation, I tend to agree with Peterko64uk and Napoleon44. In any municipal pool or even health club pool I have never worn and have never seen any man wear less than a full back speedo. Sometimes they might only be a 1"-1.5" side but that's about the skimpiest I've seen. On the other hand, I spent a week in a smart hotel in the UK that had a nice spa which was quite small but well equipped with pool, sauna, steamroom and I did wear a rio-style back first time just to get a feel for the place and later a thong. It was a quiet place and not very busy but a few men and women were coming and going and nobody reacted in any way - probably that stiff upper lip English thing about pretending not to notice:-)

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/15/2018 10:01:22Copy HTML I guess I am a rarity in wearing less than a speedo. Not often though because when I swim I do it for fitness. Get in, do several laps and out and I want swim briefs that will last in chlorinated pools and my smaller coverage ones aren't as enduring so I leave them at home. I don't have a problem with smaller coverage and although the life guards have had second looks on the rare occasions they come out, I've never been challenged.
We must ask ourselves why we think they aren't acceptable at a public pool? After all, even a thong is still swimwear that conceals your genitalia and everybody has buttocks; they're basically a set of large muscles. If someone says they're sexual and a turn on, that's just an opinion. For me, the face is the biggest turn on, but we don't expect people to cover the face in most cultures. Having said I hadn't seen anybody wearing a thong at a UK municipal pool, I now have to report an update. Yesterday I saw a teenager at my local pool wearing a white and therefore see-through swimming costume with basically a thong back. She was no looker to be honest, but she was totally comfortable and confident and that was admirable. A few days before I saw another teenager in a flesh coloured bikini with a scrunch bottom back. She looked totally naked from a distance and was clearly enjoying the attention. She rocked the look and had a great figure. Maybe things are slowly changing after all? |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/16/2018 02:52:11Copy HTML It is almost impossible to read the web page of a UK news paper without a sidebar full of paparazzi pictures showing celebrity women wearing thongs. This has got to normalize thongs on women - done - and now normalizing thong swimsuits for girls and women.
For boys it is a different story. |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/16/2018 03:32:58Copy HTML @JM Runs
Just being able to buy thing bikinis at a regular store is probably the biggest hurdle for normalized behaviour. A lifestyle brand released a limited edition thing bikini this summer in Australia and didn't make a huge fuss over it but my the time I found out about it (less than a week later), I couldn't get them and they were sold out. Similarly my hubby told me about Aussiebum releasing a nude and black thong in the skin material this weekend and when I looked to get him some, most of the sizes were sold out. Whilst I do think there is some pent up demand on the women's side, the speed in which that style was sold out on the men's side must give the retailer a bit of a signal on whether they are able to move the product. Similarly with some of the micro brands, I saw more than a few WWs over the weekend but they were the fuller styles in Matt lycra. I am just happy when I see people wearing the brands I love. They all had the physique for them Love Bren |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/16/2018 07:26:07Copy HTML The purpose of this forum is to, amongst other things, to promote the wearing of thongs. The ‘others don’t wear them, so I won’t’ isn’t the way. We need people to wear thongs wherever swimwear is worn to get the acceptance. Incidentally, if you watch some of the ladies diving, Syncroswimming, and water polo, it’s almost become normal for their swimwear to become thong style. And that gets broadcast around the world. I’ve worn thongs in public pools, and never been approached about them. I think if you get in the pool, do your swimming stuff, get out and changed, without drawing attention to yourself, it seems to work out ok.<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;}

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：04/16/2018 09:05:59Copy HTML Hi Bren,yes you are right, Aussiebum released a thong underwear, I'm surprised they didn't do it earlier, but it's a bit dear I believe, AUD 32 for a thong underwear.... for that price I could probably buy a Muscleskins poser for the beach. But it's a good start!
I also saw that Aussiebum launched a new line Pro Fit leggings for men; not very expensive in the seventysh range (Aussie dollar), I was wondering if anyone has tried this product; I am quite happy with all my purchases from Aussiebum, but unlike Skins (where I can match top and bottom), Aussiebum Pro Fit line only includes bottoms.. And they are clearly 'leggings' not compression pants; therefore they wouldn't provide the same compression effect as an expensive Skins. I might try one, I would have to wear it with a plain t-shirt though. (sorry to the moderator, my post has nothing to do with the topic , please feel free to relocate it where it belongs) |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：05/14/2018 03:06:04Copy HTML I am more cautious in UK certainly avoiding municipal pools. Overseas we seem to find much more tolerance even if the locals do not do the same.I have not experienced any problems in hotel pools even in UK but I don't make it obvious that I am wearing a thong even if it is a T back. The best way is just to do what you feel comfortable with and don't ask permission. I hope that more people will do the same. Mike

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/29/2018 08:51:38Copy HTML UK has had a long period of sunny and very warm weather recently. This has brought out the thongs at HAMPTON OPEN AIR POOL in good numbers. Plenty of things on show recently, with maybe 10+ or so at a time. Also loads of cheeky costumes pulled up to be effectively a thong. Mostly bikinis but also seen a few one piece thongs. These one pieces seem even less coverage as they seem to be so high cut. As yet no actual g-strings seen. Seems to be mainly youngsters who are school/college age. All very continental and like the same sort of venue in France or Germany or Eastern Europe. No covering up and girls happy to walk about, stand and chat, go to cafe etc with butts fully on show. All loving the looks I am sure.
British reserve goes when the sun comes out! |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：07/01/2018 09:15:05Copy HTML I was on a girls trip to Dundee in Scotland the other week. We stayed a the Apex hotel and Spa. Lovely pool, wooden tubs, steam room and sauna. I wore a thong bikini on the first day and a couple of others wore one piece cheeky swimsuits. No problems.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：08/24/2018 07:18:51Copy HTML Sounds fun, what did your friends say? And do you think that hotel would be suitable for guys to thong?
Regarding Johnbar's comments on Hampton Pool, I agree the thong is definitely back in the U.K.! I've been to Guildford lido a few times this summer and lots of thongs on show. I've also spotted a couple at my local hotel pool. It's clearly a new trend and I think very much linked to Love Island!

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/22/2019 05:01:46Copy HTML These last couple of days I wore my J Snyder Kini for lap swimming. As ever I acted normally & no one took any notice. I actually only took this suit with me so had no option to wearing it. |
| Napoleon44 | #314 |
|

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/23/2019 03:05:53Copy HTML The Kini is very small and good for you . In most municipal pools I think you could expect a quiet word as it is quite revealing .Taking one suit into the changing area is a good way to go . In the past I would sometimes take some shorts in case I felt it was not the right atmosphere but in recent years I have taken your approach . I have enjoyed wearing my latest purchases in the pool in the last few days . Kiniki Andre in Turquoise and then kiniki Andre in Red . There were no issues as you might expect . I did buy the same suit in yellow recently and am not decided whether it is better for holidays or just to wear it anyway . I bought lots of ebay snyder knock offs which are as cheap as chips . They are very slightly variable in cut which I like . One of them in blue has 3/4 inch sides and is probably very suitable . The pool area/changing room has quite a few mirrors and the red Andre looked very small from the front ! So the blue snyder copy is going to like a tanga from any sort of distance rather than a speedo cut .

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：02/11/2019 08:40:20Copy HTML Last week using a hotel pool for some laps I wore my Jovana extreme micro bikini, only previously worn on the beach. As ever acted naturally & no big deal. One female already in pool said 'good morning' & took no further notice. When I was getting out another recently arrived female seemed to do a double take while we passed the time of day but that was it. Next time wore the Snyder Kini - felt a bit over dressed! |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：02/26/2019 05:09:53Copy HTML At my local public pool for lap swimming this week - usual 20 lengths. Wore a new J Snyder Capri bikini, in usual navy blue. I am sure the cut is snug & briefer than previously, particularly the back panel, not that I was fazed. Anybody else had a similar experience? |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：03/16/2019 10:12:03Copy HTML I think we should get together and just rent a pool once or twice a month and all just wear thongs. If it works for nudist swims it must definitely be ok for thongs.. What do you think??

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：03/23/2019 05:33:45Copy HTML It is better to enjoy your swimming pools because it is not sure you will be able to enjoy the european beaches starting next week, with the brexit.
I'm joking of course ;)

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/03/2019 07:50:44Copy HTML I'm still up to using my JS Capri in pools and no one seems to mind. Wear a JS thong in the sauna and steam room. I think that's acceptable. Club just says swimwear must we worn and that is being done.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/03/2019 06:34:30Copy HTML Re 'I'm still up to using my JS Capri in pools and no one seems to mind' Me too, why wear more? From time to time I also wear my JS Kini. Takes a bit more courage in busy public pools but once again no reaction. As has been said before just act normally. Never any issue in hotel pools. As reported under UK beaches just had three swimming/sunning sessions wearing a Gemali g string. |

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/26/2019 03:15:30Copy HTML It's interesting to read the views of all the male thong wearers regarding what is or is not acceptable. I wear specfic swimwear for 2 reasons. I wear what is is comfortable and suits my body type. But I also wear swimwear to satisfy my exhibitionist streak. I normally would wear a very high cut, one piece thong back suit for doing laps in my local hotel gym pool. No-one seems to bat an eyelid. Having just come home from 3 weeks in Cape Verde i am sporting an almost all over tan. This week I have been wearing my sheer yellow one piece thong suit for my lap swimming just to show my tan. I love walking out of the pool, while pulling up the sides of my costume with my fingers . After my laps yesterday I wore my holiday white tear drop g string ( with top) in the steam room. This is a suit that is completely sheer when wet. It was amazing to jump into the cold pluge pool then emerge feeling very excited indeed. So, there it is...I wear what makes me feel great and really enjoy doing just that !

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/30/2019 12:36:33Copy HTML Hot weather means thongs/cheekies pulled up tight: Recent sunshine has brought out plenty of butt exposure at Hampton Pool. Girls happy swimming, sunning, walking about, queuing for ice cream, etc, with butts fully on show. So far no g-strings like there were in the extended heat of last summer. Certainly butt exposure has become totally acceptable.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：06/30/2019 06:47:17Copy HTML Exactly the same thing in French pool this week.
I had never seen so many thongs before.
3 lifeguards were in thongs during their break in the pool.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/18/2020 03:25:12Copy HTML On a visit last week with my husband to Dundee. He was out on business during the day and I spent the morning at the hotel spa. It was very quiet and I wore one piece white thong suit for some lap swimming. After my lap routine i felt in an exhibitionist mood. I went to the changing room and slipped into a very minimal g string bikini for some time in the steam room and sauna. I also went back into the pool for a few more laps. The pool has a gentle stepped area to walk out of the water, these is excellent to show off my toned figure. Happy days indeed.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/21/2020 07:02:54Copy HTML I am visiting Bath, U.K. soon and I emailed the Thermae Spa to see if thongs are acceptable and they replied "any swimwear is fine"! looking forward to it!

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/23/2020 07:20:30Copy HTML Yes, please tell us exactly how it was. What you wore and how people reacted.
I also contacted them and whilst they didn't say a thong couldn't be worn, they did say they would like me to be "modest".
Really looking forward to your reply.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/23/2020 06:34:09Copy HTML Swix - could I respectfully suggest your contact was unnecessary as Poonster already had an answer. Drawing attention like this quite likely to negatively alert the spa management.
If it were me I would simply don my chosen suit, and act normally, doing NOTHING to draw attention to myself.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：02/16/2020 02:46:06Copy HTML So just came back from visiting the Thermae Spa in Bath and wore my blue Desmiit thong. Pretty conservative. I didn’t walk around too much in just the thong but covered up some as the majority of the people there were older tourists. It was even hard to spot a bikini as most of the women were in one piece!
Overall a nice spa and yes you can thong but don’t expect too much!

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：05/31/2020 03:00:58Copy HTML Really missing visiting my local hotel spa and gym. Missing my exhibitionist streak wearing my thong suits and bikinis in public.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：08/21/2020 08:27:23Copy HTML Yes I swam at Brockwell Lido (Brixton) a couple of weeks ago. Had to book in advance but the pool was nice and quiet when we got in the water, as numbers are strictly limited. I wore a bikini suit, but I have worn briefer cuts at this pool, which is very friendly and laid-back in its vibe.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：01/23/2021 12:57:49Copy HTML I took a trip up to sky before new year when restrictions allowed us to do so and although it was far to cold for the thong alone. I wore one under my wetsuit for some beach swimming. It also allowed me to strip off and slip shorts on without doing the towel wiggle.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：02/01/2021 06:54:58Copy HTML So missing my visits to the spa. In anticiption of such visits I have purchased some new one piece thong suits for lap swimming. Although we have a hot tub in the garden, I miss getting my exhibitionist thrill of wearing minimal suits and g strings in public. Hopefully it will not be too long now before I can get back in the pool.

Re：UK swimming pools Date Posted：02/01/2021 10:39:30Copy HTML I am always wary of wearing a thing if there are likely to be children around. So, a family type beach no, but I wore a g string with spaghetti type cord around the sides and between the bum cheeks in a hotel pool without any problems. The policy was only to allow children in the early afternoon, and I was there in the early morning. I did it again and a friend turned up by pure chance, so probably everyone in my small conservative town now knows!
