Guest Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The mankini could be used as a modesty garment for those times your men are donning their kilts. Then when someone asks what's under that kilt, they could flip it up and say, "My mankini, of course!" We know all your husbands would look hot in one, but what about Johnny Depp or those other famous guys who wear kilts? Liam Neeson? I'm going to leave you tonight to ponder these things and perhaps give you nightmares ... or sweet dreams ... whichever it might be. :lol::lol::lol: I actually think that guy pulls it off. (I mean the look - dirty minds! :lol: ) I was wondering what the Amazon reviews could possibly have to say about them, and I came across this review for the Borat Costume Mankini: 38 of 39 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Grandpa loves it! I bought this for myself, but after a few tries, I just didn't get used to it, so I gave it to my grandfather. It was an instant hit! All the people at the "home" love seeing papa parade around the place. I'm not sure how to top this for his next birthday. :lol::lol::lol: :blink: I don't even want to imagine what goes on at that "home".

I can't imagine dh wearing that - not even if I promised him everything he ever wanted!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility7 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I had to look it up. Uh, no. I don't think I'd even want him to wear one for me. I don't even like the look of it on this guy. Poor hot guy, looks like he ought to be in a circus or something.

Truscifi Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Now that I have googled both mankinis and budgie smugglers I can safley say...yes, dh would probably wear either if I asked. At least in private, maybe in public depending on what bribes I offered. :tongue_smilie: Off to see what "related items" are on my Amazon page now...

4kiddies Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Jim Carrey's entire purpose in life is to make people laugh at him and the funniest part of that picture is that earlier in the day Jenny was wearing the bathing suit and was photographed in it.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Jim Carey wore one for Jenny McCarthy. My husband would not. Ever. But thinking about it makes me :D. Yours? If I asked him, probably. Bt I would never. In a million years ask him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My dh would not wear one in our local community. No way. If we were going on an exotic, tropical vacation I'm sure I could convince him to wear one if I wanted to. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why would I ask him to wear that ugly thing?! And is the question to wear it, or wear it in public? Reminds me of a show I saw on public access cable with an openly gay man showing off his design of swimsuit. It was only a bottom, but it could adjust and slide along the waist to provide more or less coverage. I'm not sure it had crossover appeal to the heterosexual community, as it was pretty stupid looking (but did direct the eye to the, er, pouch, in a way that mankini does).

twoforjoy Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 My husband would be very concerned, I think, if I wanted him to wear one. And I think he'd be totally justified in his concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Jim Carey wore one for Jenny McCarthy. Yours? Wait, didn't they split up??? (And apparently he wore her suit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloquacious Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 He probably would, just because he thought Borat was hilarious. (I, meanwhile, spent half the movie groaning and the other half hiding my face in my husband's arm pit, willing it all just to go away.) That being said, I wouldn't want him to. ;) We are European, so he does rock a speedo at times, though in the U.S. he tends to go with swimming shorts when he's not swimming at the gym. He's very fit, so even though in general I prefer the shorts to the speedo, he can pull it off. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Cornelia Snook Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I had no idea what a mankini was, so I clicked on the Amazon link.

jewellsmommy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My dh threatened to sever my internet connection!:lol: I'll take that as a no. He didn't know what one was and neither did I, so I looked it up. :001_huh: Totally not what I was thinking. He told me to stop staring :tongue_smilie:.

kewb Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 My dh would do it. I would not want him too. That is an image I do not need or want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in the NH Woods Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Dh would be delighted if I found that a turn on. Not because it would be his garment of choice, I must say. He has better taste than that. Rosie Same answer here. And no... I will not google "budgie smugglers". I won't. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah, now that I have looked it up- mine would, for a lark. He would wear it around the house in summer to embarrass the teenagers. :) I guess its a step up (or down?) from wearing nothing to embarrass the teenagers.

stripe Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Same answer here. And no... I will not google "budgie smugglers". I won't. ;) Apparently it's just a Speedo type suit.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I sorta like this mankini though: http://boratswimsuit.com/tuxedo.html I wouldn't really want DH to wear it, but somehow in this picture, it's bearable :glare: As for budgie smugglers, they're very tame compared to a mankini. And thanks to the cookie game for letting me discover this thread! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susankenny Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 No, my husband would not wear one & I would not want him too. He's 42 and foxy, but even the best of the best should steer clear of those swimsuits!! Call UPS because someone has a package. :tongue_smilie: Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
