A woman seeks advice from the Reddit community after a family vacation in Hawaii turned into a heated debate over swimwear between the poster and her mother-in-law.
“I have a pretty average body type and have been wearing bikinis all my life,” the 35-year-old woman explains in the since-deletedReddit post. “The ones I got for this trip were pretty standard ones with good coverage. Think about a triangle bra type top and a cheeky bikini briefs bottom.”
The trouble began when the mother-in-law confronted the woman after a day at the beach. According to the poster, the woman pulled her aside and criticized her swimwear choice, calling it “disrespectful and disgusting” for a family vacation that included children and other male relatives.

While the woman’s husband supported her right to wear what she wanted, he suggested buying a few one-piece swimsuits “just to keep the peace.” However, this compromise didn’t sit well with the wife.

The woman states she will continue to wear her swimsuit but will only alter the outfit with a cover-up. However, if the issue continues, she will have another conversation with her mother-in-law.
Another stated: “One of the problems with him wanting you to buy a one piece to keep the peace is it sets a precedent.”
