Happy Hump day to you and your lovely lady lumps - and lovely lady lumps we shall be discussing!

*** Trigger warning, there is discussion of eating disorders, diet culture, exercise addiction and more ***

First there was ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’, then there was ‘beach body ready’, and then there was a brief respite when we were all told that 'every body was a bikini body'. But now, in 2025, it seems that all of those narratives exist at the same time, creating a sort of cognitive dissonance that has us all saying one thing, and feeling another.

The current tiktok trend is bikini tax, the price to pay for getting into a cozzy, apparently, is making yourself smaller…So have we really made any progress when it comes to what makes a bikini body? Is it worse than ever before?

We hope you enjoy, please do rate, review and follow the show, it helps others' to find us, and us to keep making it :) B,R,O xx
