Tell them to politely Fluck off. You get a bikini body, by putting your body in a bikini. I’m 60 I got my first bikini last year. I’ve had 4 kids, I recently lost 65 kg. I’ve got stretch marks, scars, no one cares. The kid wasn’t scared because of your body, what a ridiculous idea. You wear your bikini proudly.

Thank you for reaching out to us! We’re sorry this happened, and we’d like to offer some tips that might help.
Here are some advices.
- Choose a swimsuit that makes you feel good. Wear whatever makes you comfortable, whether it’s a two-piece, tankini, or one-piece. Don’t let others’ opinions change your choice. Confidence is key.
- Talk to the instructor. If you’re unsure about what happened, discuss it with the instructor or management. They should create a welcoming space for everyone, and the child’s reaction may not have been about you at all.
- Explore other classes. If you feel uncomfortable in that class, look for other options that might be more welcoming for you and your child.
- Seek support from loved ones. Stretch marks are natural, and you shouldn’t feel the need to hide them. Bring a supportive friend or family member with you for extra comfort.
- Talk to your child. Explain how you’re feeling and use it as an opportunity to teach them about body positivity and handling unfair judgments.
Being a parent is tough, and every mom and dad has their own way of raising kids. Some parents share their journey on social media, giving a glimpse into their lives. Celebrities like Hilary Duff go even further, showing everything from everyday parenting moments to the experience of childbirth.
