When hitting the beach, some moms like to be on the modest side. After all, if you’re running around with your kids, you might want to wear something you know will stay put and not reveal more than you’d like. Then, there’s also the body image issue where some moms may not have shrunk back to their pre-baby size and may not want to reveal too much for that reason.
Other moms are apparently okay with letting it all hang out. One of those moms is Australian influencer and fitness model Tammy Hembrow. She has over 15 million followers on Instagram and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. She also has three children and two companies. She simply does it all.
Recently, Tammy Hembrow caused quite a stir when she hit the beach in a skimpy bikini that left little to the imagination. The tiny two-piece barely covered her assets, and some beachgoers were not pleased. Many took to social media to express their outrage, claiming that Hembrow’s choice of swimwear was inappropriate for a mother.
But why is it that society feels the need to police what moms wear to the beach? Shouldn’t mothers be allowed to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident, regardless of their body shape or size? After all, being a mom does not mean giving up the right to express oneself through fashion.
It’s important to remember that every mom is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Some moms may feel more comfortable in a one-piece swimsuit, while others may prefer a bikini. And that’s perfectly okay. What matters most is that moms feel good about themselves and their bodies, regardless of what they choose to wear.
In the case of Tammy Hembrow, it’s clear that she is proud of her body and has worked hard to maintain her fitness. Who are we to judge her for choosing to flaunt it in a bikini? If anything, we should be celebrating her confidence and self-love.
So the next time you see a mom at the beach wearing a bikini that raises eyebrows, remember that she is just like any other woman trying to enjoy some fun in the sun. Let’s focus on spreading positivity and acceptance, rather than criticism and judgment. After all, life is too short to worry about what others think of our fashion choices.
