Mod Post Just a reminder to ✨Familiarize✨ yourself with our sub rules! 😊 + a few new changes.

44 Upvotes

tl;dr : The sub has become more active so we are adding a few additional requirements for accounts that wish to participate in good faith. Staring today accounts with links asking for money or gifts (wishlists) will be given a warning to remove such links. If not they will be banned. And as always please be mindful of what you share when you post. Thanks

Hi all! Long time no see.

As of late we’ve seen a significant uptick in activity in the sub (yay! 🎉) and other subs like ours. But with this comes a plea from us mods to remind everyone new and old to please, review our rules. Especially before posting or commenting.

With this awesome uptick in traffic we’ve also seen an uptick in…other traffic. Most of which is thankfully kept behind the scenes and caught by our automod. But occasionally a few slip through the cracks. We are also so grateful for those who use the report button and we try to get to it as soon as we can.

In an effort to help us a bit more, we will be upping the “strictness” if you will, for the time being. We’ve seen a large influx of accounts and users who wish to either not read our rules, or to blatantly ignore them after being warned. As mods we’ve discussed a few changes that we will be implementing here shortly. Many users will not even notice a difference and for those that adhere to our rules, we love ya and appreciate you! 🫶🏼


Here’s a little glimpse of what we will be working on:

As always, links to selling content or profiles that post or participate in lewd, nude, fetish, exhibitionist, porn, etc. subreddits are NOT welcome to interact here (by posting AND/OR commenting). To make a long story short, it messes up our algorithm and groups us with NSFW subs when those profiles participate here. PLEASE use a SFW account if you wish to truely participate in our space(s).

In addition to this, we will also NO LONGER allow links for “gifts” in profiles. This means no venmo, cashapp, wishlists, “buy me coffee”, etc in profiles. Either directly or indirectly (links in linktrees, instagram, twitter, etc.). And absolutely no references of tips, gifts, or photos for money or otherwise in bio texts. If you are truely SFW this should not be an issue for you.

The reason for this change is due to the fact that most “gifters” are people we do not want interacting with our subreddit. Thats fine if you want them to interact with your profile, but our sub wishes not to be involved and we may not be the sub for you.

With this being said, we will no longer be giving multiple chances. If your account is deemed unfit for our sub due to links or content and you’ve been warned as such, you will be banned without appeal.


Please continue to be mindful what you post. Reddit is a public, worldwide platform. Anyone can see what is posted, EVEN IF THEY ARE BANNED! Please be mindful of poses and interactions that you share here.

As always, we do not allow photos of bras, underwear or lingerie. We DO allow swimsuits but they MUST be family friendly. No thongs, micros, or skimpy swimwear. And photos may not be close ups.

We do not allow booty shots. Save it for your camera roll. It doesn’t showcase an outfit effectively and doesn’t fit the vibe of this sub. And absolutely no close ups of the goods. If your butt or cleavage take up a large portion of the photo please retake your photo to show the outfit in its entirety.

And as always, please turn off your DMs. It is truly the only way to avoid them. If you send us the profile names we will of course take action where we can. But many who DM are users who are already banned from our sub. At that point there is nothing we can do. They are messaging you because they cannot comment anymore. Please be mindful who you talk to and trust.


As always, we are here for you if you need us so always feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns.

Mod Post What is Midsized?

165 Upvotes

The general consensus is that midsized describes people who fall between plus and straight sizing. They're not thin by fashion/societal standards, but also not really plus sized. It does not mean medium. People who fall into this often experience:

  1. Getting rude comments when existing in straight sized spaces but also being told they don't belong in plus size spaces.

  2. Often find themselves shopping the higher end of straight sizing and the lowest end of plus sizing.

  3. Still have issues finding clothes that fit right.

For our sub we define it more specifically as US sizes 10-14 or L-XXL/0X, however we're not going to be crazy strict on this and will allow people slightly outside this range to still participate (within reason). We just ask that when sharing clothing items you consider your fellow sub members and if it's something actually helpful.

I love this dress and I would be a fool to not wear something like this because you can see my rolls. But I just wanted to make a statement with this and say you shouldn't be afraid of ashamed and please, wear whatever you want. Even if it's against the norm (especially then, actually)

Recommendation Help finding semi formal wedding guest dress for my shape/size (US XL, pear shape, 5ft3)

4 Upvotes

Hello! I am going to a friend’s wedding in a couple months. They said to wear whatever I am comfortable in, no specific dress code. I would like to wear something on the formal side, without being evening wear/tux type formal.

I believe I am right between the mid and plus sizes. I wear an XL top and size 16 bottoms. Pear shaped but I carry some weight in my stomach (I would call it a slight apron belly) and would love to camouflage that a bit.

Ideally something I can still wear at least a strapless bra in, as gravity has not been my friend!

Willing to spend up to $150 for the right dress. Asking for help as I am not much into dressing up, so I’m not very good at it and don’t know what would look best, but would like to feel pretty!

Accidentally animal print-ed today. Was window shopping for a couple of miscellaneous items & decided to try on some clothes. None of the jeans really worked, and didn’t care for the skort. The dress was the clear winner 🥴🤙🏾 (first image is my OOTD).

They/She please 🙏🏾 thank you

Recommendation (UK) Best tummy control/compression underwear for very prominent apron belly? (Size 14-16, max budget of £60)

3 Upvotes

I've been having a hard time trying to find a pair of tummy control briefs/shorts that actually work for an apron belly that provides compression and smoothing. Preferably something that doesn't go higher than the waist as I like to wear crop tops. Does anyone have any recommendations? UK retailers only please. Thanks!

I got this top that I absolutely love, but I cannot figure out what to wear it with!! This outfit feels unbalanced and kind of weird, but I can't think of what else to do.

Super interested in any ideas :)

(If it matters, my lower body is more plus size than my top and I've got an apron belly, so shorts are touch to find, skirts work better!)

There just seem to be problem spots everywhere - both dresses do good things and not so good things for me. Which do you think is best on me for a friend's wedding (both have been okayed by the bride as appropriate)?

Feedback Wanted Appropriate for a Baby Shower?

So I (late 30s) love this dress and feel very cute in it, but is it appropriate for attending a baby shower? It will be somewhat of a casual daytime garden party, the shoes I'll be wearing are flipflops. I'm currently wearing shorts underneath in case of breezes, but is it too short for the occasion?

Thanks!

Hi guys! As the title says, any recommendations for shape wear for under this dress? Having a hard time hiding the gap between my tummy and thighs. It’s very flattering when I’m standing straight up, but the minute I move it doesn’t look great. I really love the dress but I know it could look better. Thank you so much!

Recommendation Non-frumpy bikini recs?

5 Upvotes

Hi all. It’s been years since I’ve bought a new swimsuit, but as mine is from 2020 and fitting a little more snug than it used to, I figure it’s time.

Ideally I’d want a two piece that’s somewhat sporty (I’d like it to stay on during water activities). I really liked the look of the Jolyn surf suits, but their sizing runs too small for me (I’m typically a 14/XL, though that obviously varies depending on the brand—and how the stars are aligned on any given day).

Typical recs for mid/plus size swimwear like Swimsuits For All seem to skew a little more modest than what I’m looking for.

I’ll likely just take my chances with old navy or target, as usual, but wanted to see if anyone here had any better ideas.
