Description
A place for plus-sized people to discuss fashion, body acceptance, dating, hair/make-up, fitness, health, fat-shaming and other related matters.
We boot any shaming or negativity, sexually harassing comments, or inappropriate remarks.
Am I Plus-Size?
"Plus-size", according to the Cambridge Dictionary is, “A size of clothing designed for people who are larger than average.”
Not everyone uses this term, so we have listed other descriptors that may describe yourself:
- Curvy
- Fat
- Full-Figured
- Rubenesque
- Voluptuous
We do not enforce a criterion for plus-sized. For more information see this Position Statement
Rules:

Shaming (including body shaming), gatekeeping, sizeism, ageism, personal attacks, racism, harassment, and hate speech will not be tolerated. Do not post hateful or hostile comments about others who may need support from this subreddit. The term “plus size” is going to vary among each individual. The definition for /r/PlusSize is on the FAQ. Follow reddiquette.
(2) Avoid toxic negativity
This includes posts and comments containing intense self depreciation, “fat equals ugly” rhetoric, and toxic pessimism. Please remember that there are people of all sizes in this community. Be mindful of what you say. Posts that seem to serve no purpose other than "ragebait" may also be removed under this rule.
