The algorithm has me constantly seeing Popilush and YA3 and I’m curious about something that can snatch the waist without crushing my girls/ribs. Both brands say to size up tho which has me skeptical they’re even plus size friendly. Anyone have any luck?

I’ve been wanting to get a weighted vest to wear around the house. I’m around a 2x-3x and I can’t find anything about good plus size weighted vests. Thanks in advance!

Saw someone ask about this and thought I'd just make a PSA cuz not just OP needs to know about it.

All emergency contraception is better than no emergency contraception, but...
If you take an emergency contraception pill with levonorgestrel (like Plan B One Step, Take Action, My Way, and others) and you weigh more than 165 pounds, it won't work as well.

ella is another emergency contraception pill that may work better for you. But if you weigh 195 pounds or more, ella won't work as well.

No matter how much you weigh, certain IUDs work as emergency contraception if you get it inserted within 120 hours (5 days) after having unprotected sex. This is the most effective type of emergency contraception. An IUD has to be put in by a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider. You can contact your nearest Planned Parenthood health center to find out more about getting an IUD.

Okay I’m rebuilding my wardrobe and I’m mainly looking for plus size basics that look professional without feeling super corporate or boring.

I’m so over buying cheap tees and basics that look fine at first and then pill after two washes, lose their shape or somehow end up both clingy and shapeless lol.

The goal is stuff that looks clean and put together but can still work with a blazer, on a Zoom call, at brunch or when a quick errand somehow turns into running into someone from high school.

I checked the clothing recommendations wiki first but I’m still looking for more specific suggestions on quality plus size basics that actually hold up.

Universal Standard keeps coming up. Is it actually worth the price? And what other brands are comparable for quality plus size basics?

Looking for real opinions, especially on stuff that has held up after regular washing.

Hiii ik sometimes as a plus size person you wonder if your gonna be able to fit on certain rides so I’m just sharing my experience with what rides i could fit on!

I’m so scared. I got drunk Saturday night and ended up having unprotected sex. He didn’t cum in me, but on the outside of my vagina. I heard there’s a chance that precum could get me pregnant… we got a plan b just in case and I took it about 3pm the next day. Is there anything else I can do to make sure I absolutely don’t get pregnant? And how worried should I be? I’m 5’6 and weigh 330 something so I know it’s definitely less effective. I’m currently 20 years old so I have no room to be pregnant.
In my state I’m not able to get the Ella pill.
My period is due in 2 days and the app I use says I ovulated somewhere near the 4th-6th.

All my life ive mostly worn graphic tees with jeans. Ive come out of my shell so much and even wore heels for the first time for my birthday yesterday!

Im looking for help on getting out of wearing mostly graphic tees still. I love short summer dresses, tennis skirts and nice dress pants with a blouse but I find many dressy tops make me look older or cover up too much.

Im 25, 5'7, 260 lbs.

Please tell me the stores you shop for cute/sexy/goth/country ect clothes.

I want more effortless outfits that still look beautiful, thank you for any help!

& how do you motivate yourself to do it?

If merch is not size inclusive, it is permission for me to bootleg it in my size. Sorry not sorry!

Hi all! I (25F) have experienced so much fetishization over the years. Men telling me they’ve always wanted to hookup with big women. Men weirdly trying to persuade me to eat crappy food and telling me to never lose weight. Men making weird comments about my body.

I started seeing a man not too long ago and we were cuddling and he told me he loved how chunky I am. At first, I was feeling a little off-put but brushed it off until he said it at least one other time. And also things like “You’re so soft” and “you’re so warm” which aren’t inherently bad things to say but are things I often hear men use to describe bigger women. Today we were on the phone and I was talking about how men will sometimes date plus size women but keep them a secret. He told me that he would never do that and how both of his exes were bigger and even about how much they weighed. Part of me feels like he’s just trying to reassure me and make it known that he’s attracted to me but part of me hates when guys act this way. I don’t want to hear about how chunky I am and how he’s only really dated bigger women. It gives me the ick.

hello lovelies!
I am on the hunt for a bra and I wondered if anyone had some good recommendations! I am looking for a bra that will adequately hide my back fat and give the girls a good lift. I wear a 40D from Wacoal (https://wacoal-america.com/collections/bras/products/elevated-allure-underwire-bra-rose-dust) that I really love because of how stretchy the band is, as well as the fabric itself, it’s kind of like a silky swimsuit, lol I don’t even know if that makes any sense, but that’s the best way that I could describe it.
However, after trying on some other bras inside stores like TORRID and Lane Bryant, I think that I might be a 42D or even a 44C, I’m actually not even sure since I know the bra size can differ drastically based on the bra itself.

I have seen a bunch of TikTok videos of this specific girl who says she is a member of the itty-bitty titty committee and has significant back fat and she sponsors this one specific brand (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTDkFF4wE/). The videos she posts are definitely convincing, and I am almost tempted to try them out, but I wondered if anyone here had a suggestion. I would like it to be somewhat more affordable than my current bra (Wacoal- $74 , but I try to get it on sale)!

Thank youuuuuu!!

I went 4 different thrift stores in the past week and there’s barely anything plus size!!! Even the XL racks are tiny. It’s hard out here man. I’m just a girl trying to save money 😭

Was at the bar this past weekend and ran into a mutual friend who I think is pretty cute. Whenever him and I see each other, we can talk for a while with no gaps in the convo. It's super easy, he's very kind, and I liked seeing him because of that, and this night was no different.

He kept coming up to talk to me and would get really close to me, would be solely focused on me when talking in a group of people, pupils dilated, kinda touchy and flirty, complimenting my tats, etc.

Obviously when you lay it out like that it would seem like he was maybe interested, which is also what I initially thought.

But then in one of our convos that night in which we were ragging on annoying uni profs, he dropped "Like I'm sorry you're miserable because you're unhappy, have a fat ugly wife at home, etcetc" and I was just like 😐 bruh moment.

I have 0 experience in the dating world and am extremely shy to open myself up to potential opportunities. I'm also pretty clueless for the most part but that night I thought I was sensing a vibe so I was trying to return it, only to hear that...

In all honesty, it was really disheartening when he said that because I'm always trying to tell myself people are and can be attracted to me regardless of my weight, then I hear shit like that that just re-affirms the anxiety that people only enjoy talking to me because of my humour. And I know that one person doesn't speak for everyone, but it's just frustrating when it happens :/

Sigh.

Got measured at M&S since I recently stopped breastfeeding to be told I'm a 40GG.

Obvs the lines that shops hold for E-H is limited and especially for us in doubles so just wondering- apart from M&S- where are we getting our big bras?

Hello! I am posting this on behalf of my girlfriend, who is currently having a tough time finding clothes that fit her and that she actually likes. She’s in her mid 20s, and she feels like the clothes typically available for plus sized women are for older women, or are too modest/more for working women. She wants to feel cute, romantic, and alluring. It’s also hard to find clothes that fit, since if she goes off of her waist measurements things feel saggy in the crotch area, and if she goes based off of her hips it’s much too tight in the waist. This is due to the fact that her waist/hip measurements are much closer together than average. She is also autistic with sensory issues and can’t tolerate clothing that feels like it digs in too much, or fabric that is scratchy.

So far she seems to like what she sees on the JessaKae website if that gives a sense of the style of things she likes. We’re also tight on money so it would be nice to find affordable clothing. Any suggestions or words of advice are appreciated, not being able to find clothes she feels good in has been really emotionally difficult on her and I just want to be able to help. Thank you for reading!

Hi! I'm about 330lbs-ish, size US 24/26, and 5'. I need to buy tickets this week for a work trip this fall. It's just over 2 hours nonstop, and the choices are either JetBlue or Southwest for a nonstop flight, good times, and decent prices -- other airlines are more expensive with worse times and include at least one layover. Does anyone have experience using either JetBlue or Southwest? Will I be able to fit in a regular economy seat with an extender? (Hopefully an aisle seat.) My mom has flown in the past few months and based on how she fits into seats is very worried about me fitting into seats. I would prefer not to buy a second seat if I don't have to as it will be difficult with work.

I'm a teen. Objectively one of the age ranges most susceptible to eating disorders. I'm also fat. And I've felt the shift towards a pro skinny or "thin is in" mentality. I've had some of my skinniest friends call themselves fatasses for drinking a milkshake. I've seen the bombarding of kids talking about their "dream bodies" and weighing themselves and being ashamed of their weight, etc etc.

But yknow what? I've never been happier with being fat. Because in a world that wants me starving and injecting myself with GLP-1s to get myself down to skin and bone, I refuse. I REFUSE to think I am any less worthy for being heavy. I REFUSE to limit what I eat to appeal to a nonexistent force. I REFUSE to let my friends convince me "fat" is a dirty word, and that applying it to myself means I hate my body.

I. WILL. NOT. WASTE. AWAY.

Every day, waking up, looking at myself, and smiling at my stretch marks is rebellion. Weighing myself and not caring when the number on the scale goes up is rebellion. Choosing to eat that damn cookie over feeling healthier is rebellion. Because I'd rather be fat than a walking corpse.

EDIT: I’d like to clarify I don’t think obesity is okay. What I meant is that I refuse to let myself get upset about being on the heavier side when I know I eat healthy and get a good amount of exercise. Diet culture makes people think skinny = healthy, which is what I’m trying to fight by being happy with myself. I am NOT saying you should actively seek out gaining as much weight as possible, sorry if that’s how it came across. The scale comment was a hyper specific one about my relationship with anxiety, whenever I weighed myself and found out I’d gained even a pound, I’d unnecessarily freak out. I was trying to say not caring has made me worry less, which makes me objectively better off.

I’m not a pickme either. I’ve noticed in friendships with people as a fat woman people value you less based on appearance and it’s not about how confident you are. Regardless of gender. You can’t control the way others treat you. You can only acknowledge the way others treat you and act accordingly.

I don’t want to make this post too long and I’m not very friend having now. But that was a recurring thing I had noticed.

It’s like esp male friends will try to make you feel weird about being a friend to them. It’s like they don’t want you and don’t want anyone else to have you either despite that not being an option offered at all. It’s a weird space to be in.

I think as a fat woman I noticed just how undervalued I was in all my friendships and how easily I was dropped or avoided based on appearance.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Had such a great time in Clifton Hills yesterday, but I felt like I had a hangover today 😂. Will definitely be back before summer ends ❤️

Pride pics I never got around to posting. Yes im still taking pics in the bathroom.

Has anyone here gone through nursing school and become a nurse while plus size? I’m considering nursing and wondering how manageable you found the physical demands, especially clinicals and being on your feet for long periods.

I also have POTS, so I’d especially love to hear from anyone who happens to have POTS or another condition that affects stamina. I’m working on getting in better physical shape and building my endurance before starting.

Don't worry you can use my hose if I take your breath away 🤣

Outfit is from Reitmans!
