If a time traveler landed on a current Spanish beach, it would be very difficult for him to guess what era we are in based solely on the bikini bottoms he saw.
Because he would find everything: the
classic
, the
high vintage,
the
eighties
high cut , the
Brazilian
, the
thong
, the short, the panty-skirt...
Leaving aside those who choose the
trikini
(a rarity) or the
swimsuit
(normally because they consider that it hides their body better, often 'pushed' by age), who are a minority, the conventional bikini, modest enough (covering both cheeks well of the ass) is nevertheless the favorite garment of Spanish women on the beach.
In fact, three out of four prefer the bikini.
The
'Bikini Report'
that he carried out a few years ago vente-privee revealed this data and other very curious ones, such as, for example, comfort is a secondary characteristic when choosing a bikini for Spanish women.
On the subject at hand, panties, the report confirmed what the time traveler and we knew.
That in the sales ranking the number one position is for the
conventional panty
- chosen by 75% -, that the
Brazilian
was experiencing a notable increase (11%) and that the
adjustable on the sides
was also going up (12%) .
What the
conventional panty
tells us about who wears it is that what is worn on the beach is a continuation of what is worn on a day-to-day basis: a profile always on the conservative side (and we are not necessarily referring to politics) .
An attempt is made to
neutralize
as much as possible the
erotic connotation
that can quite easily envelop the garment.
As the businesswoman from Madrid, CB, said when asking for her opinion on the Brazilian panty, she did not find it aesthetic because "I don't like to show that part of the body so much, just as I wouldn't wear a tiny top either. I prefer to insinuate, I find it more sensual and sexy".
This type of panty
is not especially flattering... or the opposite.
It is a
balanced panty
that goes quite unnoticed and reflects your body quite faithfully.
It neither makes it higher nor lower.
And only if you have very short legs can you 'flatten' a bit.
For its part, the
Brazilian brief
sends a message of liberation from the body, where healthy (because unlike the thong, which is extra-rotic, the Brazilian brief has a more 'sporty' design) and sexy are combined.
We are left with the defense that
Ruth G. Núñez made of her:
"For me, a Brazilian panty says of a woman that she is someone
independent
, that she
loves her body
, that she likes to show it off and that she is proud to be able to do it
without being judged. "
It's about
women's liberation and loving ourselves."
The Brazilian brief favors more -logically- those who have a proportionate ass, but also, say experts like those of
La Corsetera,
together with the
culotte,
is the best "if you have few hips".
The one that is clearly in decline is the pure and
simple thong
, after a rebound in the 2000s that coincided with the extension of its use as an undergarment.
Who wears it is very aware of the sexual charge of this ancestral garment 'reborn' in 1974 in Brazil by
Carlos Ficcardi
to the great scandal of... almost everyone.
So to wear it you have to have an important
exhibitionist
component .
Elena N. was a defender of the garment for years, but she no longer wears it: "The thong is a
very 'aggressive' garment
because it leaves the whole ass in the air, in reality it is a pure bikini fiction... But if you have the
pretty ass,
which was my case 20 years ago, once tanned it is beautiful.
Of course, you have to have the ability to avoid the fact that if you are on the shore of the beach, all eyes will be on your ass: grandmothers, children, loving parents... Everyone will be looking at your ass.
If you can't get past that, the thong isn't for you, you'll almost feel more comfortable doing nudism."
The
triangle panty,
the one that is tied at the sides (and which is usually the companion of the curtain bikini) can be as demure as the usual panty, but it always provides a more sporty and relaxed air.
It favors both bodies with curves and a more sporty complexion.
Finally, the
high cut panty,
which has come back into fashion in a kind of 'remember operation' from the 80s. It is a complicated panty, with its side height and its large neckline on the leg.
Of course, it says about you that you're up to date on trends and that you didn't live through the 80s, so you don't have the slightest prejudice when it comes to wearing them.
She was always said to
lengthen her legs...
of course at the cost of shortening her upper body.
The experts at La Corsetera recommend them if you have very few curves since "they will make you
strengthen your buttocks,
you will also raise
attention to the waist,
thus creating an effect of longer legs.
We recommend that this high-waisted panty outlines the curves with lace or prints, to accentuate them even more."
We left the panty-skirt
in the inkwell ,
a garment that is very flattering to more body types than you might think at first.
If you don't have many curves, the ruffle tends to print them on the butt, and it's very flattering.
It 'hides' a strong will never to abandon childhood completely.
Good for you.
