Cord on the beach

There is a thread here about "is it ok to have an hard on on a beach". Turning the subject on its head, what do people here feel about a woman showing her tampon string.

My wife would never show it outside of the house where as my daughters never had any qualms.

I've seen it. It's simply a fact of life, no issue.

ditto. Sometimes the string slips out of the bikini bottom--especially if you have been swimming.

Even if nude, it's no more issue than having a band-aid on a cut. Life happens.

One out of five women aged 12 to 50 will have a "string."

I would not show it on the beach. When I am nude I only show it when I am with friends.

As it's something I'm rather fond of seeing, it wouldn't bother me in the least. Then again I'm an outlier in the sample set.

In my very few experiences on a nudist beach, I have not looked too closely at genital areas. If I did see a cord, I would think that the woman was very comfortable in her skin.

While at the beach last summer, a young lady walked by with an obvious string dangling. My wife asked what I was smiling at, so I motioned to the girl. We both snickered,

As was posted by most others, that's life. No big deal.

Hubby and I have been going to nude beaches and resorts since the 1970s. I don't ever recall seeing a tampon string but then again, I don't stare at genitals.

I have looked and observed but it's no more of an issue than pubic hair style or color.

A total non issue for me. With my poor vision I most likely wouldn't see it at all. If I did see it, I'd be too close for her comfort.

I have seen it on occasion, and just as pubic hair peeking out from a bikini bottom, it is pretty much a non issue with me.

When I was in college I had friends who were topless dancers. That is how they put themselves through school. One named Aundrea was up dancing and her string was hanging out of her g-string. I let her know after the song was over. Then that summer we were all at the lake and again her string was hanging out. I let her know and she was like screw it and adjusted it back inside her bikini bottom. She is a lawyer now. I wonder what type of attitude she has?

As for myself I always check to make sure it isn't showing. It doesn't bother me to see it and I don't laugh or make fun of it. If it is a friend I will let her know. Some like my that friend Aundrea it didn't bother her if it was showing. At home it is another story. I am usually nude at home unless someone is visiting.

It's a fact of life that one in five females 12 to 50ish will have a string at any time.

If anyone can see it, they will know your body works!

I don't think it's an issue at all. Must have seen the "string" a few times but don't really recall as its such a non issue. I do personally like to trim sting or sort of insert it slightly but it's a fact of life and rather people had the odd string on show them not use anything !!!

Gee, guys, if women are really afraid of showing the string, they can wear a suit other than a thong and/or you can tuck the string inside the labia.

Easy to do and very effective unless you're doing high diving or competitive swimming, and you won't be doing those in a bikini.

There are lots of things to get freaked out about but this is not one of them. Just take a deep breath and enjoy the sunshine and move on. If the woman is uncomfortable with the string showing I am sure they would just tuck it in which is fine.

If the sight of a string brothers you then you absolutely should NOT be on a nude beach or any other nude venue

It's part of being a woman - just life, and so what?

I am surprised that some marketing guru hasn't brought out a line with a heart attached. Or maybe a sting of charms clipped. Tampax super charms has a nice ring to it.

How about those little red blood drop pins the Red Cross used to give out for donating blood? 😉

I must admit I don't think it' much of an issue and as someone commented earlier a woman must feel very comfortable with her body to show it. I've only ever seen a string on display once at a naturist beach and that was a slightly more mature, maternal-type woman in her thirties who was at the beach with her partner and a couple of children. It was only really obvious because she had a fairly thick dark patch of pubic hair and the string stood out. She must have been very comfortable with it in view of the fact she had her children in tow. Women I've gone to the beach with in the past have usually left their knickers / bikini bottoms on at time of the month so I imagine some women are more comfortable than others.

Lhac: It is a natural fact of teenage and adult life that women have periods. If you're a nudist, you're not ashamed of your body. Male children should learn what a tampon is and that it is not shameful.

(My wife remarks that there are other reasons than shame to wear panties during periods, even with a tampon. There can be some small leaks. Also perhaps sand + tampon → not so good.)

Ehhh... No, I think it's not appropriate to let it show under any circumstance except nude at home. Prudish me.

Its a thing that happens to 99.99% of women so I do not feel shame when I show it. I have never worked out why some people treat it as some dark secret.

I seldom wore clothes when I was in my room at uni and it really wound my room mate up when we had people in the room and I was showing the string.

Are you a nudist?

I think it shows more how sociality treats it as a taboo subject, which is odd

There is nothing wrong with showing it but it detracts from overall sense of style for sure.
