Woman Who Was Told ‘A Bikini Isn’t Appropriate For A New Mum’ Delivered This Brilliant Comeback

A new mum who was told her bikini wasn’t “appropriate” to wear at the pool has seen her withering response go viral.

Lexi Sinclair from Kansas City was approached by a “crazy, ballsy” woman who told her that because she was still “recovering” she should cover up – in case she made men feel uncomfortable.

In a Facebook post – in which she posed with her four-month-old son, Christian – she explained that she was approached by someone who first appeared to want a friendly chat.

“While putting Christian’s pool hat on, a woman (maybe mid 50s) comes up and makes conversation with me about Christian. Asking me his age, how much he weighs, how he sleeps, etc.

“She then proceeded to tell me that the men at the pool would feel more comfortable if I was in a one-piece swim suit because a bikini isn’t appropriate for a mother, especially one who’s ‘still recovering.’”

Lexi later joked she thought about hitting her – but, after taking a deep breath, delivered a calm and collected response.

“I just smiled, kissed my son and told her, "I’m proud of my body. In just one year I’ve gained 50 pounds, and lost 37. I’ve grown a human and given birth to a beautiful miracle,” she wrote.

“My body provided food for my child. So, no, my body might not be the best sight for other men to see. My stretch marks and tummy pudge might not be sexy. But they’re proof that I’ve done something amazing, and I have a man that loves me and finds me even sexier and more beautiful now.

She then added: “To be honest, I don’t give a tiny rat’s ass what other men, or a prissy twit like you think. Have a nice day though.”

The post has now been shared more than 54,000 times.

Underneath are dozens of supportive comments. One user wrote: “I love this!! people are crazy!! any woman/mother should have the confidence to wear whatever they want! and you look great!!!”

Another said: “I’m so glad you handled it so well. You’re such a strong mommy.”
