Seen many threads lately about women fretting over what body parts of themselves that they hate and it makes me sad. It makes me sad that I feel this way about myself, too.

Every single day I see new social media posts/articles about X celebrity has gained/lost weight and looks awful, or 'look at how great this conventionally attractive celebrity looks' then pick her apart down to bone structure and genetics, to make women everywhere race to the mirror once more and pick themselves apart for not looking like that. I'm sick of it.

So, what is your favourite body part? What do you love about your body?

I like my arms. They used to be extremely lean and toned and then I had kids and give up on myself for a while and they got fatter. They're leaning out again now that I have remembered I am a human being and started exercising/eating well again and I'm starting to like them! Yay. I also like my legs even though they're short and stubby as hell. But they're curvy and chonky and I like it.

I have to say my least favourite part would be my stomach as it is 90% loose skin and no effort. But, I'm coming to accept it for what it is; my children's first home and, well, it's just a stomach. Who cares.

Let's be having it sexy ladies

I really can't be arsed to say what I like or not. But here's the thing I'm a 6ft blonde with big tits and I could get a lover if I wanted one ( I don't, my DH is on a 38 year sentence!). I'm in the beauty industry and I think everyone has something. Good skin, hair etc. Mrs Lauder said there are no ugly women, only lazy ones!
Do we think men would consider what's their best part? Would they feck unless their Percy touches their knees!

BettyJoanPerske · 12/06/2026 19:42

All of it. I'm a stone fox. I have great legs, perfect skin, high cheekbones and great tits. I'm 43 but look around 30. I don't love everything about myself, but I do love how I look.

None of my body parts are anything to write home about, but they seem to work as a whole.

My big end has gone. The motor is just about ticking!

MrsShawnHatosy · 12/06/2026 19:40

I also like my boobs, my hair which is thick and strong, my skin’s not bad for 35 and my eyes - blue with green round the pupil.

If you seen my hands you would think that im 90 years old, or dead

I think mine are like that as I’ve got a treated underactive thyroid. But it could be something else. They’re not awful though.

Hahaha love that. Im the opposite, my bum refuses to give up but my boobs gave up before they even tried. When I was breastfeeding my son, I sustained a wrist injury during birth from the cannula being put in wrong, so I could only hold him to feed him on the right side. The result was my right boob being enormous and my left boob being non-existent. Everybody has a biggie and a smalls. Luckily they've returned to normal, except much saggier

hehe! its funny isn't it how some body parts make us so proud and others just end up a huge disappointment. That said, I try to be grateful for my entire body, its served me well for many years and I am healthy and fit so thats something to be grateful for

AnonymousUser4 · 12/06/2026 19:39

My stomach. It’s always been flat, washboard-esque even after four children. Just wish I never got any stretch marks so I could show it off more!

I have great skin. I look like I’m in my mid-40s when I’ll be 60 in 2028. This is due to a genetic defect that causes other problems, but my goodness, having great skin is amazing.

I love my breasts. Never had kids but they are large and voluptuous, and lovely. I also have no bum, which is becoming more obvious now I’ve lost four stone.

mustardgarnish · 12/06/2026 19:31

I have amazing pert breasts. Even after two kids they wont give up. I'm a natural 36D and they still point upwards. I dont know why, I have done nothing to deserve it but they do. You know that expression "a butt that wont quit" well thats my boobs - they wont ever quit. My butt on the other hand would quit after about 15 mins 😂

My gorgeous small breasts ("cracking pair of tits" to quote a lover), mega long legs, gorgeous smile, high IQ.

This isn’t about looks but I really love my womb. It’s grown two little humans that I love so I think it’s pretty amazing. I also think my boobs are pretty great because I’ve used them to feed and bond with my children.

My womb was bloody useless. Couldn’t grow anything. My shoulders are pretty good though.

When I break it all down, there's actually quite a lot I like about myself.

  • I like that my boobs look good topless
  • I like my legs, unproportionately long for my height
  • I like my heart shaped bum
  • I like my eyes, grey with brown central heterochromia
  • I like my feet!
  • I love my pale skin, especially now I've got on top of my redness and hyperpigmentation. I'm proud of my blemish free, un-sundamged skin as it took a lot of work
  • I like my cheekbones

I've liked thinking about this and realising there's more that I like about my appearance than I dislike!

Aww those are some really great features to be proud of! I'm thinking of writing mine on post-it notes and putting them on my bedroom mirror to read when I'm having a low self-esteem day

Full lips, big firm breasts (no plastic surgery) and a shapely big bottom. My hands are small but could be smoother.

If you seen my hands you would think that im 90 years old, or dead

Long, slim legs that are very toned from years of pilates. I have nice shoulders and my boobs are still perky at 50! I also have really great skin - I used to hate how pale I was and but now I appreciate it, as always having to stay out of the sun to avoid burning means I have hardly any lines. I'm not keen on my hair (too thin) or my stomach after 2 c sections

Different to the other answers but I really like that I’m strong. 💪

I love this! I also love the feeling of being strong, though I just always want to be stronger. Its an addiction at this point

My hair is a lovely, quite unusual colour - I’ve been stopped by a stranger more than once to ask where I had it coloured despite it being natural - and I have slim, shapely legs.

Thanks for the lovely positive thread!
