There are fresh calls to ban G-string bikinis after thousands of Australians had their say on this cheeky swimwear item. Many declared the garment “offensive” and “too revealing” for public places, making the skimpy cossie the sartorial equivalent of Marmite—you either love it or hate it. Since becoming a cult fashion trend in recent years, the G-string bikini has faced more criticism than a burnt Aussie BBQ sausage.
Some folks despise these racy bottoms so much that they’re pleading with local authorities to ban G-string bikinis from Aussie beaches. Many see this as “policing women’s bodies,” but the debate rages on. The topic reignited after a post in the popular Meanwhile in Australia Facebook group asked, “Should G-string bikinis be banned in water parks?” Aussies were invited to give a thumbs up for “yes” on the ban, while those in favor of letting it all hang out at the water parks could click the laughing face emoji for “no.”
It’s a tale of humor and heartbreak, as one person’s freedom is another’s fashion faux pas. Whether you’re in the “cover it up” camp or the “let it be” brigade, it’s clear that G-string bikinis are here to stay—if only in our debates.
