Do women wear underwear underneath their swimsuit in Japan?

Do women wear underwear(swim shorts) when wearing their swimsuit ?

  • Do women wear underwear(swim shorts) when wearing their swimsuit? Do you have swim shorts in your country ? Just wondering because JAPANESE do have swim shorts to wear under the swimsuit to prevent pubic hair from escaping out the side of the swimming suit/bikini and prevent from transparency of wet swimsuit/bikini showing through the pubic hair. (Japanese ladies tend to be very hairy and dark haired down there) Is it only a JAPANESE thing ? I want to know which country are you from as well. Thank you for answering my question !

  • Answer:

    I'm American too and we don't have to do that, unless we are trying one on at the store, it is unsanitary if you take off your panties to try on a suit. Also I was in Japan a few years ago and there was a water park next to the hostel and there weren't that many people wearing shorts...Maybe it is just that one area? Or maybe the swimsuits were dark...Or maybe they were all foreigners! Mystery solved.

Im American and I have swam for 11 years. No one I swam with worn underwear with their swimsuits. We tend to be well groomed here also. We don't tend to swim in suits that are old and see through either and if we do we wear more then one or two pairs. This also creates more drag so that we have to push ourselves harder through the water.

In general there is a practice to wear underwear under the swimsuit. One reason is pubic hair popping out and second is sometimes swimsuits are quite loose fitting which may expose boobs and private parts.

You can wear a pair of shorts over your suit if your worried about your private area. I don't think women wear underwear under their suit.
