Because Everyone Should Feel Comfortable

No matter what your size you should feel comfortable living your life. This lens will highlight products designed with big people in mind.

Definitely more to come!

Seat Belt Extenders 

Some people just can't get the seat belts of certain models of vehicles across their abdomen. This can lead to wearing an extremely tight and uncomfortable belt or worse, not wearing them at all.

I didn't realize the variance in seatbelt length and fit until we van shopping a few years ago. Of all the vans we tried the Toyota Sienna was the most comfortable plus the basic model comes with more features than any other basic.

Automobiles

I never knew this was such a problem until I started talking to others about it. But there is a cure. If you are buying a new vehicle be sure to ask the dealer up front for an extender.

Here is a resource page of automobile manufacturers and their contact information so you can contact the one for your vehicle to request a seat belt extender. Depending on the age of your vehicle and the manufacturer you may or may not need to pay for this. Visit Seat Belts For Larger Passengers.

Air Planes

The next difficult place to fit into a seatbelt is on an air plane. I've even seen slim people struggle with them. If you do a lot of air travel you might want to consider getting your own extender. Visit Airline Extenders, LLC for further information.

Living XL 

This website has so many products for "living large" I just couldn't believe it. All in one spot!

They have toilets seats, heating pads, mobility chairs, leg lifters, back scratchers, wheelchairs with 700 lb capacity, portable chairs, mens and womens clothing; and my favorite, bikes for men and women that hold 600lbs.

Maxx Daddy Folding Chair 

by Koolest Products

Jim and Adell from Tennessee have been providing high grade steel folding chairs to their customers since the ninties.

Depending on the model they hold 600+ pounds of safety and comfort for anyone looking for a portable durable chair.

I love my purple MaXX Daddy Monster and highly recommend it. It holds 800 lbs, 300 lbs per arm, has two insulated cup holders, two layers of 600 denier nylon fabric for comfort and durability, easily removable headrest and footrest and a carrying bag. The only downside is that it weighs 25 lbs, making it difficult if you have to lug it any distance.

The chair is incredibly comfortable and easy to set up. I also felt incredibly safe sitting and lounging in it. I'm very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it for anyone who does any kind of camping, RVing, festivals, pool side or back yard lounging. And it's a dang pretty chair!

Bear in mind that you get what you pay for. The Maxx Daddy is around $120 plus UPS standard shipping. Watch the video below to see how easy it is to open and close it.

Big Fat Lies: The Truth about Your Weight and Your Health 

by Glenn A. Gaesser

Big Fat Lies: The Truth about Your Weight and Your Health

Amazon Price: $10.85 (as of 11/08/2009)Buy Now

"In this authoritative, easy-to-read book, Glenn Gaesser, an exercise physiologist, challenges the conventional wisdom that excess body fat poses a danger to health. He explains that it is the fat in your diet - not your weight - that is harmful, and presents scientific evidence of the benefits of body fat. In addition, Gaesser presents a "20/20 program" for achieving optimal health and metabolic fitness through 20 minutes of daily moderate exercise and a complex-carbohydrate eating plan. This edition includes a new introduction and updated research."

Plus Size Bath Wrap 

Surround yourself in luxery

The Voluptuous Woman Company created a wonderful bath wrap to spoil plus size bodies in July 2005. It is made from 100% white terry velour fabric and measures 75" wide and 35" long with a heavy duty 1" x 5" Velcro to secure in front. It is elasticized at one end to aid in wrapping. It is currently made in sizes 14 - 28 with a bust up to 52" but has some great stretch.

This nicely stitched and reinforced towel retails for $40 US.

There was a tiny bit of shrinkage but the towel is long enough that there is no peek-a-boo-age. And of course the Velcro shows some wear after a few months of washing.

Be sure to let the spas in your area know so you don't have to feel embarrassed or carry your own with you.

This is one of my favorite items for big people. I've had mine for over two years and still love it. It's still plush and the Velcro still works.

Fat! So? 

by Marilyn Wann

FAT!SO? : Because You Don't Have to Apologize for Your Size

Amazon Price: $10.85 (as of 11/08/2009)Buy Now

"Fat!So? isn't all about the seriousness of being fat, fat acceptance and standing up for ourselves. Wann likes to have a little fun and it shows in a few of her mock essays, bountiful women cartoons from various artists and other extra goodies that take you from reading to interactive play. It is not the exclusive bible for fat acceptance that it use to be, it's a good read and shows what women have been trying to say for years: Accept me as I am."
