    I like the concept. Young girls need to see not every woman is a stick figure model type, and that individuality is a good thing, a real thing. I am not encouraging anyone to be unhealthy, but recognize women come in all shapes and sizes.

    I like the change - the whole "real women" thing has been overdone in an effort (seemingly) to pit women against each other. But, a good sweat on anyone is fantastic - a great sweat together is even better :blushing:

    I have a big problem with the term "real women" and I used to be obese
    ...now overweight and working on it....and it still bothers me to no end.

    I used to ascribe to fat acceptance and dressed accordingly and felt confident for it.
    I've always pretty much been confident with my body for the most part, regardless of size.

    But when you're trying to sell a product based solely on this "real women" crap, I have a problem with that.
    They only do it because there are more overweight/plus size CONSUMERS than those of normal weight.

    The last I heard was 2/3 of America is overweight+?

    ...so yeah...it's purely a sales gimmick. Then the doctors make more money off the consumers with their medical problems growing....we're in a sick consumer society.

    I think the commerical sends a posotive message. GET UP AND MOVE, work out, feel empowered, work hard, whatever you do, do it 100% - and YA you will sweat.

    "real woman have curves" is an excuse for being overweight IMO.

    I think ALL women sweat. Real women have curves I think was made to make slightly overweight women feel better about them selves. I don't think a saying should define who you are. Feel comfortable in your own skin and don't worry about what other people or media are saying


    I'm actually extremely comfortable in my own skin. It took a while, gaining weight, getting some definition, but I am comfortable with who I am regardless of any saying. I just felt overall, those sayings were meant to pit women of different body types against each other, rather than applaud one another for trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

    Thank you!!! A lot of women have been taught sweat is not lady like. But I feel beautiful and strong when I'm working out hard and sweating :bigsmile:

    Don't let my Ouma hear you! She was a farmer's wife in the most inhospitable arid countryside in South Africa but she never broke a sweat, I never saw her not perfectly groomed, and she'd have my hide if my hair came out of its braid before it was bath time at night. Real women sweat, sure, unless they're my Ouma :laugh:

    I think both you and the poster you responded to kinda missed the point.

    I usually hate the term "real women" as it has been twisted to usually mean 'not skinny women' and I object to the notion that someone is less real because of their body mass

    When used correctly it's great. Dove's "real women" campaign actually meant women of all shapes, sizes and ages, not just models and not airbrushed

    It looks like Secret (which actually I think might be the Dove brand name in the US?) are using it correctly. Real women do sweat, coz every woman in the world sweats wether they like it or not.

    This.
    But every real woman I've ever met also sweats.

    Then again, I live in the South with hot, humid summers. :wink:

    I certainly hope so. I sweat like crazy when I work out...if I don't sweat I'm not working hard enough.

    I've seen quite a few adverts take this tack recently - one for Sure deodorant in the UK has a rather steely woman gazing at the camera with the caption 'how strong I'm feeling will not depend on my sweat glands'.

    But yes. Sweatwet girls are the best.
