I’m plus-size and tried ‘gym wear for fat girls’ – I found ‘booty scrunch’ leggings which are ‘squat proof’ too
A PLUS-SIZE woman has shared her delight in finding “squat-proof” gym leggings.
With her discovery, wardrobe malfunctions could now be a thing of the past.
Billie Leanne (@billieleannex) has 35,000 followers.
Her TikTok is a celebration of plus-size women everywhere.
“Chunky but funky. Book lover” is how she describes herself on her platform.
Billie is a strong advocate of body positivity and body confidence and demonstrates these through her posts.
She has also reclaimed the word ‘fat’ for plus-size women and is unafraid to use it to describe herself.
In her post, she reviewed gym wear by J Luxe Fit, a brand of activewear that claims to “empower everybody.”
Billie captioned her post: “Gym wear for us fat girls.”
She wore grey sweatpants and a black bra and held up the newly-arrived packages containing her leggings and sports bra.
As she ripped them open, she could barely contain her excitement.
For reference, she told viewers her size: “I wear a size large in the top and XL in bottoms,” she said.
In a deep shade of green, out first was the sports bra, which appeared to fit well.
Next came the “booty scrunch” leggings.
With ruched detailing at the back, Billie crouched over to demonstrate the squat factor.
They were, she confirmed, “Defo squat proof.”
Comments loved her review but took issue with her use of the word fat.
“Sorry to correct you but you wrote fat. You’re not fat, you’re gorgeous,” said this fan.
The final comment, however, thought she looked great: “You look absolutely stunning.”
