She often faces challenges in everyday life, from fitting into airplane seats to finding clothes that fit her properly. She believes public spaces and fashion brands fail to include different body types, making simple things more difficult for her.
Chaves, who has a 126 cm backside, has spoken before about the struggles she faces. Last year, she made headlines after claiming she was kicked out of a supermarket for wearing shorts. She felt unfairly judged and has since been more vocal about body inclusivity.
At 23, she continues to highlight the difficulties of navigating daily life. She points out how seats in restaurants, cars, and airplanes are designed for smaller body types. According to her, these designs send a message that larger bodies are not welcome in public spaces.
“Simple things like chairs and seats are made with smaller people in mind,” she explained. “It makes me feel like my body doesn’t belong in public.”
Beyond comfort, she believes the way public spaces are structured makes people with different body types feel excluded. She also mentions that people often focus on the glamorous side of her job but don’t realize the challenges that come with having a curvier figure.
Finding clothes is another struggle. Most brands don’t design trousers that fit both her waist and hips. “It’s almost impossible to find pants,” she admitted.
She also faces challenges when it comes to fitness. Gym equipment and exercise routines are not always designed for curvier figures, making workouts more difficult.
“Staying active requires extra effort, but I’ve learned to manage it,” she shared.
Despite these struggles, she remains confident and happy with her body. She loves her natural curves and wouldn’t change anything about herself. “I am confident and proud of my figure,” she said.
