AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the hesitance to buy second-hand swimsuits, with participants expressing discomfort despite acknowledging that washing can mitigate hygiene concerns. Some argue that vintage swimsuits can be appealing if they are clean, while others emphasize the personal discomfort associated with wearing used items, comparing it to buying used underwear. The conversation also touches on the potential for disease transmission and personal boundaries, with many preferring to avoid used swimsuits altogether. There are humorous exchanges about the absurdity of certain situations, such as the idea of buying a swimsuit worn by a celebrity, and the topic of public hygiene practices is raised, leading to a broader discussion on societal norms regarding personal items. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards caution and personal preference when it comes to purchasing second-hand swimwear.

When you pull em up and there's nothing left but a waist band, time to go.

But Ivan, you don't realize that you could turn the waist band into headband or sweat band. No need to waste it.

And you wondered why you've been permanently banned from the local Y?

hahaha, we don't have a local pool open to the public. me and my friends just swim in a lake or pond. on a hot day i wear my underwear around the house, in public, even to work! i live in a small town where everybody knows me and nobody really cares.
