"Micro bikinis" are bikinis that are tiny and often reveal more than they cover. This type of bikini is certainly not something every woman can wear without making a fool of herself. Here's 10 reasons to choose the safe classic bikini instead of that skimpy little 2-piece.



1. People may think you are a pornstar or a stripper. If this is the effect you want, go ahead.

2. Men tend to think that you are "loose" or "easy." You may not be it, but this is the image you project.

3. When you get back in the dressing room on your health club people will wonder if you're a nudist because you came back from your vacation with almost no tanlines.

4. While wearing a minimal bikini you get more of your body exposed to your sun, hence, a higher risk of getting skin cancer.

5. If you have scars (from giving birth etc.) you won't be able to hide them away when wearing a tiny bikini.

6. Your husband or boyfriend may not enjoy that you are the center of attraction for all the other men on the beach.

7. Sleazy men in Speedos will tend to walk by you a lot.

8. Other women will get envious talk behind your back: "What does she think she is!"

9. All your flaws and excess fat will be on display for others to judge: "I can't understand why she decided to wear a bikini like THAT, with a body like THAT."

10. If you are at a beach nearby a road you may cause traffic accidents when you walk to the local beach bar to get something to drink.
