'I've got bingo wings - I'm urging others with jiggly arms to not be ashamed'

A plus-size content creator who regularly posts about fashion and helping others accept their bodies has urged others to enjoy summer, no matter "what parts of your body jiggle and wobble".

Poppy Adams, from Essex, took to social media to urge everyone to "get their arms out" because "your skin deserve to feel the sun on it".

The size 22 influencer explained she was off to the beach during the heatwave, and proudly flaunted her so-called bingo wings, which is an informal term for the loose skin and excess fat found on your underarms.

She wants others to do the same, without any shame about their appearance.

In the recent video, which was uploaded to both her Instagram account @poppyadams and TikTok account @poppyadams92, she wrote: "Justice for bingo wings! I promise you, no one else cares as much as you do.

"Life is too short to spend it worrying about what parts of your body jiggle and wobble. You and your body deserve to enjoy summer."

In the short clip, Poppy who was ready to go to the beach during the UK heatwave, stepped back and proudly flaunted her arms in a strappy beige summer dress.

She added: "This is your reminder that if your arms look like this you can still get them out okay.

"If they do this it doesn't f**king matter, it's hot. Get your arms out. Don't suffer in a cardigan".

The video was seen more than 260k times on both platforms and received hundreds of comments from people who were thankful she was unashamed about her arms.

Many said they "needed to hear this", with another adding: "I personally feel targeted and I like it."

Another commented: "This is so relatable to me, thank you so so much darling."

"Thank you so much for sharing this. My arms are the only bit of my body I have a hard time accepting and this was what I needed to hear today!," replied someone else.

Poppy, who graduated from the London College of Fashion, is known for her beauty and style tips.

She had over 238k followers on TikTok, and over 99k on Instagram, and regularly posts plus size fashion inspiration and about body positivity.
