Dear Designers of Women’s Swimwear,
As a medical professional who frequently encounters women grappling with swimwear choices, I must address a glaring oversight in your designs: they seem to overlook a significant aspect of female anatomy, specifically the vagina.
When I refer to the vagina, I’m primarily talking about the pubic hair that accompanies it—an often ignored yet vital part of a woman’s body. Unlike the fine hair found on arms or the coarser strands on legs, pubic hair has a unique character. It’s unpredictable and unapologetic. If you’re not aware of this, then perhaps you’re living under a rock, or you’re an innocent child blissfully untouched by puberty.
The current state of swimsuits, particularly those with high-cut designs, presents women with a frustrating dilemma: either conceal the pubic hair or expose it for all to see. I’ve attempted both, and neither option is satisfactory. What I seek are alternatives that respect my body without resorting to outdated designs like swim skirts, which I find utterly disrespectful.
As an individual who once competed in swimming at a high level, I know firsthand that swimwear should facilitate movement, not hinder it. The last thing I want is some frilly skirt getting in the way while I swim—an activity that brings both physical and spiritual rejuvenation.
I acknowledge that I’m at an age where I’ve grown weary of the societal pressure to be hairless. Shaving can be a hassle, and waxing? That’s a pain I’d rather avoid, both physically and financially. Yet, when I finally decide to embrace your designs, I often find myself in an awkward position if my pubic hair dares to make an appearance.
It’s not merely about embarrassment—though I’ll admit there’s a touch of that. It’s the discomfort of knowing that everyone around me, from family members to acquaintances, might be focusing their attention on my nether region. The reactions range from shock to amusement, and I’m left wondering what they think of my choice to wear a swimsuit.
In conclusion, I urge you to create swimsuits that provide adequate coverage in the pelvic area without resorting to the frumpiness of past designs. I want to swim confidently, free from the dilemma of razor burn or self-consciousness. Men can swim without such burdens, and it’s time women had the same privilege.
And if you’re unconvinced by the desires of women, consider the economic potential. The market is vast, filled with adult women who are not ready to settle for outdated swimwear options. Trust me, there’s a significant demand.
Sincerely,
A Woman Seeking Coverage
