I am opening up a can of worms, I get that. But darn it all, I ran across this on researching something totally unrelated and it bothers me. Maybe it’s the posing or maybe it’s the marketing or perhaps the internal ‘ick’ factor for me on little girls in triangle tops, but….
OK, enough said. You know how I feel. How do YOU feel?

Well… I just bought my 4 month old one of these swim suits while I was out at the mall today. I think its cute… not disgusting like the rest of you. For one, its a keepsake thing not something your going to be letting your daughter prance around town in. Sad thing is everyone of you probably have let your child swim naked in the back yard swimming pool but you wouldn’t let your child where a bikini. My daughter has a one piece that she wears but to view it as “sick” is just sick in its own. Everyone is so scared of any kind of skin its unreal. But again… I do stresss the word KEEPSAKE! When you purchase the suit it comes it a little keepsake box lable as her first bikini with her name and date.
Im nto speaking for anyone else, but I have never, nor would I ever, let my daughter outside nude. Not when she was 2 months old, not when she was 2 years old, not now when she is 5.

I think this is absolutely horrible. I can’t believe that someone thought this was a good idea. Honestly, kids grow up way too fast as it is and products like this don’t help to slow down the process.
as a mom of four children and very well aware of the sickness out there. I find this highly disturbing. As previous posters say, there’s nothing wrong with babies wearing bikinis, but this is crossing the line in my opinion.
**words from men who molest children…she may only be 2, but I found her to be sexually flirting with me.**
The thought of some sicko looking at any baby in that way upsets me.
Who ever thought up this pose and took the picture, should be ashamed of themselves!
This is offensive to me. I may be more conservative than many; but we don’t even allow our daughters to wear two-piece suits unless the tops meet the bottoms. However, we understand other parents feel differently and select fairly modest two-piece suits for their daughters. This, however, is just too far. Besides, why would any parent want to train their toddler to pose suggestively? It’s disgusting.
I’d never dress my kids in one of these!
ick is not even a good enough word! UGH! I have let my daughter wear two pieces. I’m ok with that, but I don’t think they need to be “adult” bikinis on little girls…they should cover much more skin! And the posing makes it like 100% worse….she looks like she’s trying to be an adult cover girl! Geez!
I think the above ad is sick, with a capital S! Fodder for the pediphiles. And, the bikinis are not styled for children, they’re copying adult female bikinis. Two piece bathing suits for little girls is ok and I’ve seen some cute ones, but these are not appropriate for our children at all. I mean really!

I just came across this and I would liek to meet the person who thought this was a good idea! Honestly, I can’t imagine this bathing suit even being a thought for any mom. If so, you need to get your head checked.
I found an adorable site with swimsuits for little girls.

This mom definitely had the whole bikini at that age is WRONG mentality!
