"Call me a prude (or a wuss, or a lover of massive Bridget Jones–worthy undergarments), but I just cannot bring myself to wear thong swimwear. I don't mind a small-ish pair of bikini bottoms, and it’s true that sometimes a leaner cut can be more flattering for any figure or size, but this is an uncomfortable step too far. For me, it's not about being concerned regarding flashing more flesh or not having a peachy derrière like, say, EmRata. It is literally about being my most chilled out on holiday, and this silhouette doesn’t give me that level of ease. Power to you if it’s your jam, but I don't want even the vaguest hint of a wedgie, no matter how fashionable it might be."
