Plus-Sized Leggings Are Upsetting Quite a Few People!

Amazon have really dropped the ball on this one and upset quite a few people in the process.
Normally if you see something being advertised for a ‘plus-sized’ people at the ever least you’d expect a larger and normal or just average sized model to show them off in the online pictures. Amazon took a slightly different option.
Fitness trainer Betsy Abel was amazed when she spotted the picture whist doing some online shopping on Amazon and decided to shared it on Facebook.
“Here’s one for today’s ‘Are You Freaking Kidding Me’ file. Scrolling through Amazon looking at leggings… Get to the bottom and see this pair of plus size leggings… That’s fine, no shame if you need a larger size. So what the hell are they thinking using a slim model with two legs in one side??? Talk about disrespectful and being in poor taste. Like oh, hey, in case you don’t feel bad about needing a larger pair…let’s make asses of ourselves and show how two trimmer women could fit in these. Un-freaking-real! I work with women every day who fight stereotypes that go along with being plus-size and unfortunately, they are bombarded with images that make them compare themselves to cultural norms,” Abel told Yahoo.
