Strapped In, Turned On: Fat-Friendly Fun with Sportsheets

At Big Sexy Chat, we’re all about turning up the volume on pleasure—especially when it comes to fat bodies, disabled bodies, and the folks who are constantly left out of the mainstream sex narrative. So when we got the chance to try out a few goodies from Sportsheets—a company actually prioritizing inclusive, adaptive, and fat-friendly sex gear—we knew it wasn’t just playtime. It was a revolution.

We also sat down with Rin Musick, Sportsheets’ fat-positive kink consultant, to talk about inclusive kink, accessibility, and the beauty of designing with us in mind. You can listen to that convo right here:

But let’s talk about the standout star of this collaboration: the plus-size doggy-style strap. Because ohhhh yes, we need to talk about this one.

Fat-Positive, Angle-Friendly, and Sexy as Hell

Let’s talk about the plus-size doggy-style strap—aka the first strap on the market actually designed for fat bodies. Not “oh we added an inch and called it inclusive,” but thoughtfully engineered with wider hips, larger bellies, and mobility needs in mind. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all adaptation. This is a “we see you, and your pleasure deserves innovation” moment.

Historically, sex gear hasn’t exactly been known for fat-friendly design. Most straps and supports either cut into the body, come up short (literally), or require a gymnastics background to use effectively. But this baby? It’s made to empower—not just in theory, but in bed.

And we’ve got the receipts.

Chrystal and her beau are obsessed with the added leverage—she says it makes rougher play feel more supported, and gives her partner a better grip and rhythm without the usual struggle of keeping angles consistent.

Merf and James love how the strap helps her lift and adjust her legs comfortably, giving her access to angles that are usually tricky or physically exhausting. No more sacrificing pleasure because your hips won’t cooperate that day.

And for me? I’m a fan of how I can loop it around my husband and pull him in—helping him get those deeper, more powerful thrusts that feel less like work and more like play. It keeps us connected and lets me feel like an active participant even when my joints are protesting. (Bonus points for the sexy tug-of-war dynamic. Rawr.)

What we love most? It gives back agency. For so many of us, sex can feel like something we adapt to—working around body parts, energy levels, or pain. But this strap adapts to us. It’s a subtle but powerful shift.

So whether you're riding the rails of partnered kink, disability-friendly support, or just looking to level up your angle game, this strap brings more pleasure and less pressure—literally and figuratively.

Heavy on the Pleasure, Light on the Shame

While we’re on the topic of liberation… let’s talk solo play.

We recently dropped a guide that’s basically a warm, cozy permission slip for all the fat babes, spoonies, and disabled hotties out there wondering if masturbation “counts” when your body doesn’t move like a yoga ad. (Spoiler: it counts. A lot.)

👉 Heavy on the Pleasure: A Self-Love Guide for Fat, Disabled & Chronically Ill Bodies

This piece dives into the real stuff—what it means to explore your own body without apology, how to incorporate toys and tools that work with you, and why solo pleasure is a radical, restorative, badass act of care.

It’s not about performance. It’s about presence.

It’s about ditching shame and embracing the tiny (or not-so-tiny) sparks of joy that come from touching your body in ways that say, “You are mine. You are worthy. You are magic.”

And whether that means taking your time with a wand, propping yourself up with pillows, or just breathing deep into a moment of fantasy—this guide is here to say yes to all of it.

A Whole Episode About It (Because We Had Thoughts)

If you're hungry for more, our full podcast episode with Sportsheets' Rin Musick is overflowing with sexy, nerdy goodness. We talk about:

• Designing kink tools with fat people in mind

• Why adaptive gear doesn’t have to look medical or boring

• How representation in sex product marketing matters (and how much better it feels when you see bodies like yours included)

• And, of course, the tea on which toys made us go “oooooh yes”

🎧 Listen here

It’s one of our favorite episodes—warm, funny, deeply affirming, and full of “holy sh*t, me too” moments. If you've ever felt invisible in a sex shop or frustrated by inaccessible gear, this one’s especially for you.

What’s Next on Big Sexy Chat?

We’re packing our bags and bracing ourselves—because next up, we’re talking flying and traveling in a fat body. You know the deal: seatbelt extenders, weird stares, hotel bathtubs you can’t climb out of, and the eternal mystery of why airplane bathrooms exist at all.

We’re joined by two absolute gems: Annette Richmond (founder of Fat Girls Traveling) and Jen McLellan (of Plus Mommy fame). Expect tips, real talk, and solidarity with a side of sass.

Until then? Get curious. Get playful. And get strapped in, babes. The pleasure revolution isn’t coming—it’s already here.
