While most curvy women are proud and comfortable with their own skin, there are still a handful of problems most of them face in their everyday lives.
For some, these problems are physical, mental, or emotional and come with some restraints, for others, these problems hold little to no significance and are easier to get over.
Today, we will share a list of 5 common problems that curvy women face and offer solutions as to how you can help overcome them if you are also a victim.
1. Problem = Chafing
Skin chafing is one of the most common problems healthy women face when it comes to their physical appearance. While it is nothing to be ashamed of, women have to suffer in silence. Chafing is the rubbing of the skin, mostly the thighs, groin area, underarms, etc which leads to pain, chafed skin, rashes, and sometimes pimples.
Solution
the easiest way to prevent chafing is by avoiding friction between your skin. This can be done by constantly lubricating the skin to keep it moist. Moreover, applying products like petroleum jelly will not only reduce friction but also help heal rashes and damaged skin that you have had.
Moreover, dressing also plays a highly important role. Some clothes result in more friction than others. So, stick to proper-fitted moisture-wicking clothes and avoid synthetic materials or the ones that make you sweat more during the summers. Lawn and cotton are excellent go-to options in the summer.
You can always consult a doctor as well before trying any home remedies.
2. Problem = Limited Clothing Options
Yes, the sad truth is that healthy girls have a harder time finding the right clothes and outfits. While many brands have started to keep L/XL sizes in their collections, variety is limited, designs are bland, and often the size does not go with your body figure.
Solution
There are 2 simple solutions to this issue – one is that instead of going for ready-to-wear clothes which can be problematic at times, go for unstitched options and give the pieces to the right tailor who has your correct sizes so that he or she can sew it accordingly. Otherwise, another good idea is to join platforms with women from different walks of life who come under the ‘curvy’ label and feel free to exchange clothes and your size details there so that they can let you know pre-hand (before you waste your money) if it is a good fit/investment.
3. Problem = Size Becomes a Topic of Convversation
Yes, whether you are at a dinner, a wedding, a baby shower, or anywhere, often a woman’s curves are at the centre of attention and often result in the topic of conversation. While this may cause anger, you need to understand that one – some of these people mean well but are at a loss of words so are unable to communicate their concerns the right way, and two – answering with anger or sarcasm will just make your relationship with them shakier.
Solution
Instead of letting your anger take control, try to cover the situation by giving awareness about body inclusivity. Praise yourself, how body limitations don’t apply to you, how you feel comfortable in your own skin, how beautiful and happy you are, and eventually, the conversation will be headed towards a new road.
4. Problem = ‘Moti Larki se Kon Shaadi Karega’
Girls of age who are ready to settle or are approaching that milestone in life are constantly lectured about how curvy women don’t find decent guys. Firstly, that is not true, each individual has a preference and just because a good-looking man prefers a skinny to a medium-built girl, that doesn’t mean that someone else doesn’t prefer a curvy and healthy lady.
Moreover, many studies, research, and surveys have proved that many men prefer curvy and thick women over average or underweight and boney ladies.
5. Problem = Stairs, Jeans, & Other Narroways Become your Enemy
Yes, curvy women at times have to make sacrifices and at times have to deal with wrestling with their jeans, and need to suck in their stomachs every now and then, that happens. However, jeans can be purchased in the right sizes, narrow passageways can be walked around and avoided, and most stairs come with railings. Take your time to work your way through things – don’t let others get to you. Until and unless you are comfortable with yourself, you won’t be able to bring confidence in your attitude.
