Hello friends and welcome to another video.
So another "ugly" clothing item has found me
and this time it's a swimsuit.
I say, "found me" because it feels like
these things just keep popping up.
I don't know if 2017 is just the year of ugly clothing items,
but they're just...
it's like Whack-A-Mole.
So, over the last couple of weeks
I've seen this "sexy chest swimsuit"
pretty much everywhere on the internet.
This swim suit is $50,
it's made by a company called "Beloved Shirts,"
and many an article had something to say about it.
"This hairy chest swimsuit exists,
for better or for worse."
"The internet is understandably horrified
by this 'Hairy Chest' swimsuit"
"So, we've come to this,
Hairy Dude,
'Sexy Chest' one piece
swimsuits for women."
And now, without further a do...
the "sexy chest swimsuit."
They come in a few different skin tones,
I think I got the lightest one.
We've got some nice nipple action going,
we've got some nice butt hair, or I guess lower back hair.
I'm not exactly sure what the gradient is,
perhaps like a sunburn of some kind.
This lower crotch region has pretty much guaranteed
the demonetization of this video.
It almost looks like modern art in a way
Like, it's like saying something.
It's making a statement, but um,
I don't know what it is.
Now usually with "ugly" clothing items,
I'll wear them for a week straight,
to try like different combinations of other items to try and style them.
I feel like with a swimsuit you're pretty much on your own.
Like, you're supposed to just wear this,
alone, into the water.
So I'm just gonna spend one day beach hopping,
and just seeing what people have to say.
So let's go try it on.
Because I don't think that...
we're...quite ready for this jelly.
Tyler: Are you ready?
Tyler: I think so.
...for this jelly?
Tyler: Oh my God, I wasn't ready.
I feel ummm....
...both like I'm playing a fun practical joke
and also like I'm going to get deathly kicked out of places .
I don't wanna ruin someone's day at the beach
like, I don't wanna, like, upset a child.
There's a lot of things happening,
and I'm not even getting into this yet.
Number 1 is the nice contouring that my boobs
are getting from this nice shadow.
Tyler: It does look like you have a second pair of boobs.
The nipples are very far to the side.
Tyler: They are yeah
Yeah, so there's a bit of a differential, you know.
One can assume that whatever's going on in the crotch,
is meant to be like your lower abdomen.
Tyler: Yeah I'm not enjoying the crotch right now.
Tyler: There's a quick flash of the crotch.
Tyler: It's very unsettling.
I wanna, like, twirl my chest hairs around,
like, hhhrrrrrrrr
Another fun thing I think is the back.
I think that this lighter skin tone is quite pink.
Looks more like a swimsuit rather than me being naked,
but it looks like someone else's chest.
I don't know what other people are going to think.
If other people are going to think it's funny,
or if they're going to be like "that's kind of explicit".
It's less about how I look in it and more like,
I don't want anyone else to yell at me.
Ok, so it's the next day,
I'm wearing my ugly swimsuit underneath.
A little bit of an outfit just so that I don't get kicked out of places
Tyler: This is the worst thing you've ever done.
Tyler: No I'm just kidding.
Tyler: Oh my God that is...
Tyler: that was the worst the thing you've ever done!
One thing that I will say though that I'm liking
is that I'm not worried about my hairy arms,
I'm not worried about any cellulite.
I'm like, they're going to be looking at this.
Tyler: That's the most glass half full explanation I've ever heard.
So we started off the day with some pre-beach errands.
We're going to grab maybe some coffee
some breakfast on the way.
And then we're going to grab some beach supplies, some towels.
Tyler: You're going to let it out?
Tyler: Oh my God
Tyler: Let it back in
We're walking to Starbucks to get some coffee.
Tyler: You're going to get us banned from all Starbucks, ever.
No, please
please don't ban me!
Tyler: It does look like you have more cuppage though
Tyler: I gotta be honest.
Yeah, it kinda makes my boobs look bigger
Tyler: 'Cus it kinda has a little, like Saf: shadow
So I went into Starbucks first
and the cashier was very friendly
she made very direct eye contact.
Tyler: Yeah, she's got manners
Oh I just a good look in the car window
Can you see it? Tyler: Yes I can
In the reflection?
Thing is, I got little hairs there,
they're just like really fine ones
like, I got like a fine coating,
of fur.
At Target, while we were shopping for our beach towels,
I noticed a couple people glance at my open shirt.
Not a lot of extended stares or reactions,
but definitely some looks.
When you think about it for a little bit, it's like
it's just body hair, like it's not that big of a deal.
Tyler: Yeah
But it just, really does, it's got a visual impact.
When you first look at it, you're like
So made some small talk with the cashier
while we were getting our towels.
She was totally not looking.
I feel like under a shirt it can almost get away with
being like a peach tank top with some pattern on it.
So I don't think people are really like looking too hard.
We are approaching the beach!
I can't wait!
Actually at Target the cashier also told us
that she'd seen many people going to the beach today
so it might be very crowded.
Which is exactly what I want.
No!
I wanted to do a good reveal down at the beach,
so I like, put my flannel back on
and tied it sort of, at the midriff.
Tyler: This is just the best take of this bathing suit where it's like
Tyler: normal outfit
Tyler: and...
Tyler: what is that?
Tyler: Cus it's like, it looks like a skin tone
Tyler: but it's just, it's not the same as yours.
Actually the best part is that you can't yet see the belly button.
Tyler: Yeah
The belly button's all the way down there.
Tyler: Oh my God
I'm Kyle XY, I don't have a belly button.
The midriff was almost more of a like "oh is that hers?"
So we just walked by a family
and they were very smiling and happy
and then they all looked very concernedly down straight at my midriff.
I think that this brings us to probably my biggest gripe with this suit,
is that it's not just a naked person,
it's a naked chest stretched out.
So, you know, when I'm wearing it to expose my midriff,
the belly button is way further down
because they've stretched the chest out.
That brings us to a different problem.
Which I encountered once I stripped down to
the bare necessities.
Tyler: No
The beach was very crowded,
lots of people playing volleyball,
people on the pier,
lots of families there.
And as I dropped trou,
the crotch became exposed.
Now I find the frontal crotch to be a little more upsetting
than the behind booty,
because the behind booty is just a nice hairy booty.
Something about the front,
you kind of follow the arrow that's pointing downwards,
almost involuntarily.
And you almost, as you go down,
expecting to see someone's junk on this bathing suit,
and there's nothing there.
It's like a hairy Ken doll.
Tyler: Yeah I would say the hairy chest is funny,
Saf: Yeah
Tyler: And then when you go down to there you're like
Tyler: nobody wants that right now!
So I feel like the bottom part of the swimsuit just
brings up a lot of questions and a lot of emotions.
Now soon as I stripped down,
a guy further up the beach started cracking up.
So this girl Nadia, looked around to see the source of the laughter,
and spotted my suit and came up to talk to me.
Now Nadia was very nice,
but she was also a straight shooter.
She didn't really like the bathing suit.
Tyler: Oh it's really bad.
Nadia: Oh my...what the..?
Tyler: Nadia do you think this is the ugliest bathing suit ever?
Now I had passed through Target and Starbucks relatively unscathed,
but I think something about wearing the swimsuit fully exposed,
did get me a couple of stink eyes from some parents.
I think there's a couple of people that are upset over there.
There's like a dad who's like looking at me with his daughter
and they look kind of upset.
Yeah, I'm actually getting some stares okay.
There isn't really anything to be upset about
because you don't really see anything,
it's just body hair on a chest.
But it's kind of like the illusion or like
implication of nudity you know.
Hot dogs?
Or hairy bathing suit?
The swimsuit also has a track record of upsetting kids.
Kids: UGH!
Kids: Ew!
Kids: Ugh, erugh!
I think people preferred me when I was either
laying down on the beach towel,
Tyler: Dude this is going to be in the SI swimsuit edition.
Better be.
or when I was fully submerged in the water.
I did get some good Baywatch running in
which I'm not sure how people felt about
but it was, you know
I had fun.
How do I look? Like David Hasselhoff?
Tyler: You do kinda look like David Hasselhoff!
That's what I'm saying.
How are you feeling?
Tyler: I'm fine
What shall we do next?
Tyler: Wanna walk around town?
We decided to walk around the pier, get some lunch.
So I decided to put my shorts back on.
And once the shorts were back on,
and I was kind of wondering around
with the swimsuit almost as a top,
the day changed.
So we just went to like the shower bit really quick.
One girl pointed at me and laughed.
And a different girl said she liked my bathing suit.
Tyler: Yeah
So in the showers, 50/50.
I will say though that without the crotch aspect,
like now that I've put my shorts back on,
I feel way less weird about it.
People were less like stink eye/look away chuckle awkwardly
and way more outwardly approving of the bathing suit.
I've made some new friends, what do you guys think of my swimsuit?
Tyler: We want more hair
I think people are trying to figure out like 'oh is this ugly?'
yeah it's not a very attractive bathing suit
but it's also hilarious.
So it has more of a sense of humor than any of the
other like "ugly" clothing items we've tried on you know what I'm saying?
Tyler: I don't think it's trying to look really good.
This was by far the best collective good time reaction.
Like, I feel like a lot of people were enjoying it.
Those people are talking about the swimsuit over there in the bar
like through the bar they're like
'you see that swimsuit?'
'she's got a hairy chest on it'.
I did still surprise a couple of people
who saw me in their peripheral vision
Girl 1: I thought you might be naked or a guy or
Girl 1: yeah that's kinda what I was thinking
Girl 1: like the nipples are like eyes
Girl 2: I thought it was like trees or something
Girl 2: I was like ok it's just like a forest scene or something
Girl 2: yeah I just kind of ignored it like just
So we did a little bit of beach hopping,
after lunch we went a little bit further north to a different beach,
which was actually much more crowded
and had much more of like a pier boardwalk scene.
And I think that when we were on the boardwalk,
not a lot of people were noticing the swimsuit
or giving it too much attention.
I think there's just more happening
Tyler: There's so many things happening.
More like street performers, more street vendors.
It kinda just felt like part of the scene
like it's like "oh maybe you could have bought that on this pier".
But once we walked a bit further away from the crowd
I did get some good laughs.
One person actually came up to me and asked me
if they could take a picture of my bathing suit.
Lolly just took a picture of my shirt.
Lolly: I love her shirt.
Lolly: It's so different, I just love it.
I just feel like it's the extreme version of those white T-shirts
that have the chests or bikini bodies on them
like it's just kinda like a fun beach gag that everyone's in on.
So my final test with the swimsuit was to prank people with it.
Alright I'm here with my friends Natalies Outlet and Wengie.
They're going to tell me,
well they don't know what's here,
I have kept it a secret from them so I'm going to reveal
what's under my shirt.
We hung out for a while before I told them that I was
secretly wearing something that I wanted them to see.
Guess that's kind of a creepy thing to say to someone
but they took it in stride.
I promise it's not just my naked body.
Natalie: Go go go
I'm like slowly unbuttoning.
Natalie: What the hell?
To be honest the worst part is the crotch.
Wengie: Oh My God
It's just smooth.
Wengie: Oh my God
I feel like on the beach with shorts on,
people can kinda take it in on their own time.
But at a restaurant it was kinda shocking.
So what's the verdict?
Is it the ugliest bathing suit in the world?
Natalie: Hands...I mean...?
Wengie: It's...
Natalie: It's expression.
Wengie: It's violating.
So I think that this did prove a good swimsuit for pranking people.
So after getting to know this swimsuit a little bit better,
I think it's a good swimsuit in that
like I think it's made nicely
like I have no qualms with the stitching or anything like that
I think it's like a decent quality swimsuit.
It is what it is and it makes sort of
no apologies about it.
One reason I might not wear it again though
is just because I feel like there is some
awkwardness about the crotch area.
I'm personally very pro body hair acceptance,
like I've got some body hair on me,
on the stash, on the arms,
on some other places too.
So I don't think that it's necessarily funny
just because it's a hairy chest,
I think it's more funny because it just plays with your expectations.
Like you wouldn't expect to be wearing
someone's hairy chest on your swimsuit.
This does though make me kinda wanna meet this person
and be like "I've worn your chest".
I wouldn't say I've walked a mile in his shoes,
but we probably walked about half a mile in his chest.
This also makes me kind of want a Tyler chest swimsuit.
Tyler's got very full chest hair right here.
Wooow
Tyler: Yeah right?
You look great.
Tyler: I'm hairier that him.
You've got such a nice crop of chest hair.
I want one from you.
Tyler: I know.
How do you feel?
Tyler: Well I'm wearing a girl's bathing suit for the first time.
How does that feel?
Tyler: Feels good.
