Shower wands or detachable shower heads are key for washing under the belly hang! It’s difficult to maneuver the spray from a regular shower head under there. And keeping your rolls and folds clean and dry is vital to avoid skin infections. I make sure to wash, dry, and powder those areas every day.

Body powder is super cheap and easy to make at home, too. That way you can make it any scent you want!

I love my coloplast (I think thats the brand lol) body powder, and organic coconut oil for my rolls! I easily get intertrigo and I find bathing, patting dry, then rubbing coconut oil all over. After a few minutes I powder all my rolls and I have some pretty lovely skin!

I also really agree with handheld shower! Gets all the areas!

I'm not sure why someone said no thrift shops! I change sizes so much sometimes that I donate some awesome pieces myself!!
It just takes a lot of searching to find THE piece!

I'm finding I have major difficulty with shaving intimate areas now, just embracing the hair! 😆 😂

3/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch
1/4 cup kaolin clay
2 tsp zinc oxide powder

Sift together (the kaolin has a tendency to clump) and put half the mixture in a clean glass jar. Get a cotton pad and put your choice of fragrance or essential oils on it. I have a ton of 1 mL sample vials of indie perfumes, so I usually just dump one of those on. Put the cotton pad in the jar, add the rest of the powder, close the lid tight, and shake it up. Let it sit for a couple days, shaking it every so often. Pour the powder into a container of your choice, removing the cotton pad when it shows up. I got a metal shaker canister from a kitchen supply store. Make sure it has a reasonably airtight lid if you’re going to keep it in the bathroom.

I got my zinc oxide powder from Amazon, a small packet will last a long time. It acts both as a deodorizer and a skin soother. A lot of people use baking soda, but that can irritate sensitive skin.

I got my kaolin from a bath & body supply company online (here is a list of suppliers in various countries). I also make bath bombs and lotion bars so I was already paying to ship other stuff. Pretty sure you can get that on Amazon too, but beware of counterfeits. Apparently people counterfeit freaking clay of all things.

You’re very welcome! Deodorizing body powder is a necessity for me, things get smelly down there otherwise, but pretty much every affordable brand I could find uses baking soda and/or I hate the fragrance. My skin does not like baking soda. So for me it’s worth the time to make it myself.

The bidet is seriously life changing. This is a MUST HAVE for anyone with a BMI 40+.

I traded my car today for a van, after getting too big to safely get behind the wheel of my Camry. My partner is incredible and always willing to take me wherever I want to go, but it feels good to have some independence back!

My wife uses a mix of powders and sprays for her “underfat” areas, like under her belly and middle rolls. Interestingly, her use of athletes foot sprays has worked to keep heat rashes to a minimum.
