I’m plus-size and tried a string bikini – I’m proud of myself, women should get their bellies out, they’re so cute
A PLUS-SIZE woman has finally found the confidence to get her belly out and wear a string bikini.
It was a huge step for her, but now she’s made it she is tickled pink.
She hopes her move will encourage other plus-size women to follow her lead.
Meg Garrod (@meggarrodart) has 38,000 followers and another 517,000 likes.
Her post came from her brightly-colorful home.
Pink was the dominant theme.
Her TikTok profile defined her intentions.
“Self-love and feminist illustrator,” she wrote.
In her video, she wore pink-patterned bikini briefs and a midriff-baring green T-shirt.
The backdrop was dominated by many shades of pink: sofa, walls, and heart-shaped bunting.
Standing proudly and confidently she made her case.
“This is your sign, if you are plus-size or have a belly, you can still wear string bikinis and low waists,” she asserted.
“Get your belly out. It is so cute,” she added.
Meg had come a long way on her journey to plus-size body positivity.
“Self-acceptance is a beautiful thing,” she said.
“Proud of myself for even trying on a string bikini. Wish I could show 12-year-old me how far we’ve come.”
Commenters applauded her.
“You look amazing,” said one person.
While the concluding remark thought she looked great. “Love that bikini. So cute,” they said.
