Loving your appearance is hard. It’s especially hard in an age when we get bombarded with images of certain body ideals all day, every day, via social media channels. At times it can feel like everywhere we look, we're told we're not good enough. Not curvy enough, not tan enough, not skinny enough, or not cute enough. Filters and photoshopping create unrealistic beauty ideals which are often impossible in real life.

#Chubrub
We have a mixed relationship with the term Chub Rub. Of course, it’s the common term for thigh chafing. While thigh chafing is our favorite topic, "chub rub" can have negative connotations. The #chubrub hashtag takes ownership of this term. The feed for this tag is full of fun positive posts that celebrate natural thighs.
