Ha, well the plus-sized clothing is usually designed with size 12 or 14 models, in the same way straight-sized clothing is designed for 0 or 2. So, I think you’re mostly covered there.

I agree. I hate the idea of dressing to be “flattering.” I was fairly thin most of my life but was always uncomfortable about my body in some way. Now I’m a 14/16, so on that verge between regular and plus size, and I’m finding that I just don’t care anymore if you can tell that I have a big round belly. I can still…

Kinja’d on the pic.

I love this tunic from City Chic. It comes in a million colors and patterns. It’s so fun, and it gives you these awesome giant hips, even if you don’t have them. And I just love the way it looks on nearly everyone.

Oh god, I’m so afraid you will be right. But I really hope not.

That’s true. Besides the fact that he’s going to delegate a lot of this crap to Pence.

But at least he was okay with gay people and premarital sex.

YES! Freya underwire bikini is my go-to. I have a black polka-dotted one, and then I buy cheaper bottoms in plain black from Target. I just switched to a high waisted bottom this summer, and I LOVE IT!

Well first of all, my insurance wouldn’t pay for reinsertion on the same day as removal because they’re “different procedures” so that was some bullshit. The removal was no big deal. Just a bit of pain and then it was over. The insertion hurt. Probably as much as the first time, but I guess I had blocked it out. My…

Look, I’m just getting into the retro pinup style low-legged, high-waisted bikini. I love it. It’s more flattering on my fat gut than any one-piece has been. No way am I switching to any kind of high-cut monstrosity now.

Yeah, I want to know everything. I might panic slightly in the beginning, but I’m a grown up, and I can ultimately handle it. That’s just WRONG to keep information from you. Like, ethically wrong!

Yeah— just saw your edit. Ooops! This article needs to be fixed.

Pretty much my response to him at this point. I don’t really want to hear anything else about him until he’s either dead or convicted of at least one of his crimes.

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn his attorney made sure to get a mostly white jury just to use that to muddy the issue.

Bad gynos are the worst. I drive 45 minutes to mine (to my old college town) because I like her and I’ve had bad experiences in the past, and I’m not willing to take a chance on a new one.

My favorite college professor was a gay ex-nun. She had sent herself off to the convent at a young age out of confusion and fear. Nunned it up for a few years and then realized she was an atheist and quit.

My (unresearched, unconfirmed) theory was that it probably just gets less and less effective. Like, the company probably guarantees the 99.whatever% rate up to five years, and then after that it starts dropping off. I mean, there’s no way it would just stop working immediately at the 5 year mark, so I’m sure you’re…

First of all, as Sheket pointed out, she published in a major publication, so there’s no reason why anyone can’t analyze it.

Starred because I’ve asked similar questions on previous articles about Thinx, and ladies who have worn them were able to answer most of the questions pretty satisfactorily. I’ve never used them, though, so maybe someone else could chime in.

If I ever get my period again, I definitely will try these. I hate tampons— I guess I’m extra sensitive? But I’m very aware of it all the time. I can feel the string. Pads are gross and wasteful, but that was all I could stand.
