##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

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.

(3) No pick-up dialogue, no creeping, no perving onto members

Hookup-activity of any kind - including creepy "compliments" is off topic and unwelcome in this sub.

(4) No NSFW images or promotions

NSFW images are not permitted. Please note this includes lingerie and swimsuit pics.
