Helpful Products for Plus-Size Life

Living in a plus-sized body isn’t always the easiest. Lots of products aren’t designed with fat bodies in mind, and folds and rolls tend to require a bit of extra care. Don’t let any of those realities hold you back in any way! These products all help you live your very best plus-size life.

Did I miss something that you love? I’d love to add it to the list! Contact me.

Fashion & Clothing Aids

Bootband - Boot Calf Extenders

Bootband (boot calf extenders)

Sick of not being able to buy boots because they don’t fit your calves? These are little fabric triangles that you can zip into a pair of boots to extend the calf circumference! Total genius. I haven’t used them myself but I’ve heard really good things.

Buy on: Bootband.com

More of Me to Love - Pant & skirt extenders

More of Me To Love Pant & Skirt Extenders

If your body is still working on finding its setpoint weight, you might not be keen to invest in a brand new wardrobe yet. The good news is that there are lots of tools that will help you extend the size of a piece of clothing — such as button extenders.

Chafing & Chub Rub Prevention

There are so many chub rub / chafing solutions available now! I’m going to be extending this list in the future but for now I’ve listed a few of my favorites.

Bandelettes - Anti-chafing thigh bands

Bandelettes (anti-chafing thigh bands)

These are pretty much my favorite product. I’ve lived my whole live in places that get hot and muggy in summer, and also have a penchant for wearing skirts and dresses 24/7. As a result, these babies were literally life-changing. They are so much cooler than similar “short” solutions because they’re just the leg bands of them (they stay up with silicone strips).

I prefer the unisex ones because I find they slip and slide much better, but the lacy ones are undoubtably sexy. They fit up to a 32″ thigh circumference.

Buy on: Amazon or Bandelettes.com

Thigh society slip shorts

Thigh Society (slip shorts for chafing protection)

I’ve used Thigh Society shorts for several years and really love them! They come in a regular rise as well as an ultra-high rise (I haven’t tried the latter yet but imagine it could be nice to prevent lines under certain dresses).

Like all of the shorts I prefer in this category, they are not shapewear—that is, they aren’t designed to asphyxiate you in an effort to shape your body into something more acceptable to diet culture. 😉 That means they’re comfortable. The only downside is, like all slip shorts, they’re an extra layer under your skirts and dresses. I personally tend to use them in spring and fall when it’s too warm for leggings but when it’s still not extremely hot.

Sizing goes up to a 3X/4X or a 22-26 pant size. (We’ll work on getting them higher!)

Buy on: ThighSociety.com

Pambra's - sweat absorbing

Pambra’s (tummy and bra liners)

These are nifty little liners that you can put in your bra (should you wear one) and under your belly apron. They absorb sweat and keep things nice and dry, to prevent skin irritation.

Buy on: Amazon or Pambras.com
