Swipe Fat

THE LAST ONE

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 14:00:00 +0000

When we started Swipe Fat four years ago we couldn't have dreamed of what it would turn into. When we met we didn't have other plus size women in our life that we could talk to about dating so we wanted to create a space for conversation that other plus size women could relate to and hopefully feel like they were sitting on the couch with us as we chronicled our dating journey.

Thank you for coming along on the crazy ride - we couldn't have done it this long without all of you!

While this is the last episode we will continue doing community events so make sure you're following us at @sassyconfetti, @niccinunez and @swipefat.
