Pooh-Sized Visitors: What to do about "bat wing" arms?

[Corbie]

It doesn't matter how much I work out. I'm older and larger (though not as large as I used to be). I have "bat wings"--you know, those drooping, swinging flaps of skin where my triceps hide.

Do you wear sleeveless tops and not care or do something else? Sun dresses? Cover up somehow?

 

[MaryLovesPoohBear]

I don't care.

Now, I won't have a picture taken with me waving. But other than that? I really don't care.

An acquaintance got the excess skin removed.

I thought that was a waste of money. But then, I don't wear tanks or sleeveless often because I burn easily.

Have you tried different styles of sleeveless? You don't notice my arms as much if I'm wearing racer back or strapless. Much more noticeable if I'm wearing plain sleeveless with wide straps.

Wear what makes you comfortable. Long sleeves, short sleeves, cap sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, sleeveless...it is up to you. Enjoy your trip!

If I could even afford plastic, it would be to give a boost to somewhere else!

It's not something I think about until I see myself in the mirror. I wondered if anyone had a really cool work around I don't know about. I'm considering one of those weird cut out shoulders with longer sleeve tops I've seen. But I'm cheap, and that's a style that won't be around for long.

Embrace your arms exactly as they are! When it's hot, any little breeze is appreciated and also feels great on exposed skin. No matter the shape of the arms, they will feel great raised above your head on BTMRR or holding on tight racing through the mines of 7DMT

Wear them and don't care

I wear sleeveless shirts at Disney, I don't care. My person comfort is more important to me than how I look. We're going in Aug and it will be HOT!

The older I get the more I realize that I can't fight the inevitable.

 

[Corbie]

Too true! I wear what I want, but got a shock when I caught my reflection in a mirror while wearing short sleeves! But I'm 57. I'm allowed to have bat wings. Maybe I'm Bat Woman!

It's taken me YEARS to get over myself! I have bat wings too but at this stage I don't care that much...you should wear what you want to! I still only go as far as short sleeves though, just my personal thing. I have the strangest wings...one side is certainly "Battier" then the other...I'm a cashier and obviously have been lifting with one arm more then the other! lol
