G-String Swimwear - helps or hinders nudism acceptance?
A recent story here raged on social media and also mainstream media. A sign posted on a Cafe (deli) in WA requested women to cover up their bum if wearing g-string swimwear before entering.
Some said no let it be women can wear what they like where they like and others backed a prudish viewpoint that said the swimwear lacks modesty etc. It was really fierce in the end.
But its a valid question to the nudist community to ask if women wearing g-string swimwear hinders or helps acceptance of nudism. The swim wear does provide much greater visibility of the wearers body, and if they are topless they are so close to being nude.

I am of the opinion that very brief swimwear helps the cause of nudity.
The sign poses am interesting thought. What about the rare male wearing a g-string?
How close to a beach was that deli? If adjacent, whatever is considered appropriate for the beach would be best for business. If not, this is no different from the "No shirt, No shoes, No service." signs which the owner has the right to post. Of course, the owner has that right no matter what the location may be.
I don't think any swimwear really promotes nudity. It keeps nudity from being allowed. Laws and cultural norms are at play, and they are not changed on whims. The very brief swimwear may eventually enable a move to allow fully nude, but for now it maintains a rather dumb standard that butt cheeks and nipples must be covered. Consider what a bikini covered in the 1960's to what is on display at Walmart today. That Itsy bitsy yellow polka dot bikini back then was rather scandalous. It might not provoke an erection in teenage boys today, but it did back then. We all know what is being covered by the fabric, so what is the big deal with keeping it covered?

It's a good question. Recently I experienced women & young women walking along the street in Lorne on the Great Ocean Road walking along in g-string swimwear, also experienced it in Barwon Heads in the main street. The first is close to the ocean, the second is not, whether that makes a difference. Also saw a very large girl in one walking through a camp ground along the coast and while initially I was surprised I thought good on her, it's about body acceptance not body shaming. The girls walking down the street in traffic while attractive to the eye are a bit of a hazards to drivers, mostly men perving while driving and potentially crashing.
A couple of summers ago there was a group of girls at a CO beach I go to (Pt Addis near Geelong). They initially were half way down the beach, away from families but not in the CO part and a couple were in bikini's a couple topless and a couple in tiny g-strings. They shifted down to the CO part during the day and a couple took off the g-strings (they were micro anyway) and got naked. Now this is not much of a sample size but I would say it helped them get naked and one of the girls in a bikini took her top off.
I'm guessing girls / women that wear this type of swimwear are pretty comfortable with how they look and are after a suntanned butt. I assume some then think well do I want the string tan-lines.
