Did you know that most of us have at least one thing about our bodies we feel self-conscious about? Whether it’s curves, stretch marks, or just carrying a little extra weight, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we need to “fix” ourselves. But here’s the truth: beauty isn’t about a number on the scale—it’s about how you feel in your own skin.
Being “thick” or curvy doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel your absolute best. In fact, it’s about embracing what you’ve got and learning a few simple tricks to highlight your natural beauty. These beauty hacks for thick girls are designed to help you feel more confident, comfortable, and stylish—without feeling like you have to completely change who you are.
1.Stop your thighs from rubbing
Thick thighs are really hot, but chub rub is not! And it certainly doesn’t feel very good either. Try rubbing some deodorant between your thighs to avoid this. This is more of a problem during the summer months. Keeping your skin cool and dry isn’t really possible and who wants to stay indoors when there are so many things to do outside during the warmer months!
Stay comfy all year round with my go-to anti-chafe shorts—no more thigh rub.
2.Buy clothes that actually fit
Your muffin top is only as obvious as you allow it to be. Even women with minimal stomach fat experience this problem when they wear pants that are too tight. There is a huge difference between wearing jeans that are multiple sizes too small and just having a fat day. Which brings me to my next two points….

3.Do some stretches to make your pants fit better
I like to wear form fitting jeans like the majority of us westernized women do (nothing wrong with you if you don’t), but it sometimes can take a bit of extra effort to work your way into them. You could let your jeans air dry and they will fit you better than if you throw them into the dryer. Or you can do some squats, lunges, and other stretches to stretch those babies out a bit.
4.Use a hair tie
And if you’re having a fat day or putting off buying new clothes (I do this all the time so I have to lay off the food for a while) you can try the rubber band trick. Pretty much all pregnant women do this and it’s amazing! I wore the same jeans the entire time I was pregnant because of this. Now I wouldn’t recommend wearing a belly shirt or anything, but no one will be able to tell with a normal length shirt covering it up.
5. Look your best in photos
We are living in the age of the selfie, so yes I’m going to include this. Everyone has a double chin when taking a photo from below so quit tripping over yours (unless you’re like me and need to start doing some chin exercises! ?). But seriously, angles are everything!
6.Hate cardio?
Then don’t do it! Start lifting weights instead. Toned fat looks better than flabby fat any day of the week. For example, I weigh the same now as I did before I had my daughter, but now my stomach hangs over my jeans if I’m not careful (I’m still working on the toning part) which was not a problem before. Thick and fit is hot! Just search “thick and fit” and you will see what I mean.

8. Shapewear is your friend
Any thicker woman that has tried shapewear is quick to recommend it to her friends. And there is a big reason why! It seriously helps you to look less bulgy and frumpy. There are so many types of shapewear for all of your different troubles areas and here is a great article by Redbook to help you decide what will work best for your body.
