Muffin Top PSA

Posted on by

I was just served an add on Facebook for how to get rid of a muffin top. I clicked on it, just to see what magic method they were selling. Nothing new … diet and exercise (duh). Naturally, they wanted money in exchange for this super secret awesome diet and exercise plan to get rid of muffin tops.

But now, I feel it is necessary for me to now inform the world of the easiest way to get rid of a muffin top: buy clothing that is the proper size for your girth or lack thereof. Muffin tops are caused by trying to stuff too much flesh into pants and skirts that are simple not large enough to contain it, and thus, the extra is pushed up and out causing a spillover. Works just like push-up bras, only some people find muffin tops significantly less appealing than squashed breasts. Another method of losing a muffin top would be to lose weight so one fits into the size pants and skirts one is buying, but it seems to me that method is significantly more difficult than just buying properly fitting clothing (though one doesn’t have to pay anyone for a super secret muffin top removing diet, because any diet will do).

Now, I’m a pretty skinny person. I’ve gained a little weight lately, but I still come in as underweight, and even I have a couple pairs of jeans that do, in fact, give me a tiny bit of a muffin top … because I like my jeans tight enough that I can wear the low-slung variety without having to wear a belt to hold them up (having no actual hips to perform that function). So even the skinniest person can have a muffin top, if they don’t buy clothes that fit correctly. My little muffin top doesn’t bother me in the least. I actually kind of like it. If it had bothered me, I’d have bought different jeans or a larger size. I suggest that anyone disturbed about having a muffin top consider buying clothing capable of containing the amount of human one is trying to stuff into it. Just an idea.

And thus ends this morning’s public service announcement…

  1. I’ve been fat for years, but muffin top is a new experience for me. My fat used to be more in my hips/bum/thighs, but after I had the baby, I now have a pooch on the bottom of my tummy and my pants slide off because the weight I lost was apparently from the area which formerly held my pants up. So now I can either deal with a muffin top over my low rise jeans or wear my pants up to my armpits. :( If I buy a bigger size, my pants literally fall off. I’m guessing that women with apple shapes and new mums must have this problem lot since there are so many ads for it.

  2. I saw a woman today who, without a doubt, was wearing jeans at least three sizes too small. I don’t even know how she sat down. I don’t think she could. There was so much muffin top there was buttock delineation in the rear area … like boobs in a push up bra.

    Even skinny little me has a muffin top when wearing low rise jeans (which are all I wear), and I have to think the real reason we ALL seem to have them is because the clothing companies aren’t cutting the jeans to fit actual human females.

    And yeah, I have to buy jeans to either fit the waist (well, low waist), which means I have to wiggle my butt into them. Otherwise, the hips fit and the waist is HUGE (and my pants don’t stay up). End result? Muffin top. I’ve just learned to live with it. LOL!
