Besties, summer is practically here! And all Iโ€™m trying to be is summertime fine, not worrying about the heat, excessively sweating, etc. Rising temperatures can sometimes bring unique challenges to us plus size women โ€“ chub rub, yeast infections under skin folds, etc. Thankfully, there are summer hacks for plus size women that we canย use to make the most out of the season.

Summer is about enjoying the sun, embracing the warmth, and feeling confident in yourย ownย skin.ย How many of us are ready to be โ€œsummertime baddies?!โ€

Top Summer Hacks for Plus Size Womenย

Keep A Portable Fan On Hand

Investing in a portable fan is one of the best summer hacks for plus size women. A portable fan becomes your best friend when the summer heat becomes unbearable. Compact and convenient, these lifesavers provide instant relief by circulating air and keeping you cool wherever you go. And if you do not feel like holding your portable fan, invest in a neck fan.

Whether lounging at the beach, waiting in line at an amusement park, or attending an outdoor event, a portable fan ensures you stay comfortable and refreshed all day.ย 

Antiperspirant (Not Deodorant) For Sweat

Say goodbye to sweat stains and hello to dry, fresh underarms with the power of antiperspirant. Antiperspirant combats excessive sweating by temporarily blocking sweat glands, keeping you dry and odor-free even in the hottest temperatures. We can confidently go about their day knowing their favorite tops will remain sweat and stain-free, no matter how high the mercury rises.

Use Athleteโ€™s Foot Powder for Yeast Infection Under Boobs (Or Other Skin Folds)ย 

Now, this one might sound weird, but it does work. Combat the dreaded yeast infection under the boobs with a secret weapon: athleteโ€™s foot powder.ย Itโ€™s formulatedย to fight fungus and bacteria.

This versatile powder helps keep the skin dry and irritation-free, preventing the uncomfortable itching and redness associated with yeast infections. You can sprinkle it liberally under their breasts to absorb moisture and keep the area cool and dry.

Invest In Glycolic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide Body Wash

Combat body odor and keep your skin fresh and clear with the power of glycolic acid or benzoyl peroxide body wash.ย 

Glycolic Acid:ย This acid is known for its exfoliating properties. Glycolic acid not only helps to brighten underarms but also effectively blocks odor by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Sloughing off the top layer of skin prevents bacteria buildup and creates a smoother, brighter complexion. Plus size women can benefit from the dual action of glycolic acid body wash, achieving odor protection and underarm brightening in one simple step.

Benzoyl Peroxide:ย For those prone to body acne or bacterial overgrowth, benzoyl peroxide body wash such as PanOxyl Maximum Strength Antimicrobial Acne Foaming Wash is a game-changer. This powerful ingredient kills bacteria on the skinโ€™s surface, especially in areas prone to sweat and odor, such as the armpits and groin. By eliminating acne-causing bacteria, benzoyl peroxide effectively reduces body odor and helps to keep the skin clear and blemish-free.ย 

Anti-Chafing Shorts

One of the best summer hacks for plus size women is combating โ€œchub rub.โ€ Say goodbye to the dreaded thigh chafing with a simple solution: anti-chafing shorts. These lifesavers create a barrier between your thighs, preventing irritation and discomfort so you can strut your stuff confidently all summer. Slip them on under skirts, dresses, or shorts for smooth sailing wherever you go.

Make the most of your beach days by digging a hole in the sand for your belly. This simple yet effective hack provides instant relief from the pressure and discomfort of lying flat on your stomach. You can create a shallow depression in the sand to accommodate your belly, allowing you to lounge comfortably and soak up the sun without any added strain or discomfort.ย 

Bring Your Own Seatbelt Extender

Summer is synonymous with traveling, and many of us need a seatbelt extender on the plane. Therefore, I invested in this next hack because I got tired of the flight attendants forgetting to bring the extender before takeoff. Travel confidently and comfortably by bringing your seatbelt extender on your summer adventures. A seatbelt extender ensures a safe and secure fit whenever you buckle up.

Ask for what you need babes! Flying while fat can already be a stressful situation, ask for the extender ?? #flyingwhilefat #bodyconfidence #plussizeedition #plussize #bodyimage

Plus size women can avoid the hassle and embarrassment of asking for a seatbelt extender on board by bringing their own, ensuring a smooth and stress-free travel experience from start to finish. Compact and lightweight, these extenders fit easily into your carry-on bag or glove compartment, making them a must-have accessory for any summer getaway.
