- WEARING SUMMER CLOTHES IN A WHEELCHAIR IS HARDER THAN YOU THINK. THATS WHY I HAVE MADE THIS VIDEO TO SHARE ALL MY TIPS AND TRICKS, AND SOME GAME CHANGING HACKS!!!! WEARING THE CORRECT SIZE BRA IS SO IMPORTANT TOO! LET ME SHOW YOU SOME DO’S AND DON’TS.
summer clothes in a wheelchair is hard because shorts ride up, we have a lot more flesh on show, and more lumps and bumps to worry about. In the video I’m talking about shorts, skorts,, tops, and even the impact wearing the correct size bra can make to your outfit.
After suffering my spinal cord injury i have really had to adapt in life. So Im sowing you my disability lifestyle to raise disability awareness. as a disabled woman and a woman in a wheelchair who is paralysed, I thought it would be interesting for you to see, and hopefully give you some inspiration and motivation so that you can live more independently. wether you are paraplegic or quadriplegic i hope that i can help you.
i have lots of interesting disability videos, a lot of videos on how to cope with a disability and living life in a wheelchair, wether you are a girl boy woman or man. i have some paraplegic exercise videos, and advice. its important to keep your fitness levels up as much as possible as this can when physically and mentally with depression.

Did you do your eye makeup different? Looks nice whatever you did. Hair is looking healthy too. I was a hair dresser before my injury.
Ahhh thank you. Good spot. Yes ever so slightly different. I put black eye liner on my water line which i don't tend to do that often any more. I think its a no no these days lol ;)
Again this video was stunning 😍I love every single video you make ! and you’re making such an amazing change when it comes to being confident in a wheelchair and useful lifestyle things. I’m so happy to have your channel. You’re my idol and inspiration 😍keep doing your great videos
awww thank you lovely. ;)
Ughhh, I got fitted for a bra back in January. I'm pretty big, and NO ONE had my size. Finally, Walmart randomly stocked my size and I snatched them up. They felt so good... Until the last couple of months when my breasts became fuller at random, and now they don't fit properly :( I'm 22, why does my boobs feel the need to grow? Ugh!
Ugh yes this does happen and its so annoying. especially as its so nice to finally get the right size. buy one of each in ever colour, and some extra spares, then BOOOm you wake up and they change. Mine have changed heaps over the years for various different reason. Your no alone. In fact I need to get re-measured. xxx
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard same here! I’m just procrastinating because I’m mad at my boobs! Lol
I am a pear shaped lady with pretty wide hips and a narrow waist. (size 16" wheelchair). I love playsuits with the loose elastic band and the thin shoulder straps, it's really flattering, i like to get those a size up so there nice and baggy and cool. I also love maxi-dresses (without the slit). I also use old denim jeans as shorts, i like them just a couple of inches above the knee to prevent sweating and heat rashes on my inner thighs. And i'm team flowy tops all the way also!!
Thanks for sharing :) xx
I love jazzy pants, they're cute and comfy :)
yay
I like your videos so much👍🏻 you have such a good tips for people in the wheelchair I’m from Belgium but I am proud fan of you
thank you so much. It means a lot. xx
I always wear skirts and dresses with tights, leggings, or leggings style shorts. If something is too low cut for me I wear a tank top under!! I don’t like just trousers or shorts I feel self conscious! And I tend to try to cover my shoulders and back! So the first outfit is in essence what I wear for underwear. Which is funny because it looks amazing on Gem! Lol. I’m just too modest ha ha.
haha aww thank you. xx
Fabulous video....the first I have seen of yours. I can see I need to look back and catch up on a few. Some great ideas. I need to brave up a bit for short shorts. I am still after many wheelchair users self conscious about my legs. Then I see how cute and fashion forward you look and just feel stupid. I may have to try. Loved the tops too! Thanks!
Hi. welcome to wheelsnoheels. I hope you found my vids useful. I was sooooo self concours of my legs. But why be restricted even more by our disability? I think the more we get them out the better. As the more other see its ok. the more it will be "normalised." I have a vid all on body confidence if you think that will help? Thanks for watching.. xxx
I wore dungarees shorts yesterday with a hoodie over the top and honestly, going to the loo was so difficult. I needed so much assistance to get undone and redone - I wish I had thought it through! It was very humid but also a chance of rain, so loose dungarees seemed like a good idea to just throw on! My favourite summer outfit is having fabric shorts like you mentioned with a few layers of cami tops, and a cardi in my bag. I do like the patterned jazzy trousers too! Like public appropriate PJ bottoms haha.
I actually haven't worn a 'real' bra in a few years as I found them too uncomfortable. I have little jersey cotton bra's from American Apparel instead and I love them! Not sure what I'll do when they break now AA is gone, and I have to try any bra/bralettes on first!
PJ appropriate bottoms!! love it. And i often feel that way. ooo dungarees! you were brave. will you wear them again? If you like that look. wear the dungaree skirt option. I got a black one from H&M. Have you seen my body confidence vid? in that I wear a pink bralett from victorias secret. The are amazingly comfy!!!! Im the same i find bras too uncmfy. xxx
The were also buy one get one free! so made them very affordable ;)
I’ve been a complete paraplegic since age 6, in my twenties now and I almost NEVER let skin show on my legs Given my legs are about the size of an average string bean, it causes people to stare intensely in a trance like state at how small they are. Textured tights winter/ fall/spring and athletic leggings typically in summer distract the eye enough to make me look a little more proportioned
I find that I avoid materials that are rigid for trousers. It always creates that pouching and also tends to dig into my thighs. I always go for something with a degree of stretch to minimise those problems. I swear by jeggings and stretch jeans. Floaty tops are the best. I do avoid one piece body items like play suits or body suit due to them being a nightmare for the loo. I don’t stick to to many other rules, basically if it’s comfy and I like the look, I’ll wear it. I wish they would invent something for big boobed girls like me that didn’t rely on A band around your spine or neck. If you have spinal problems it’s so blooming painful sometimes. Even the ones made of knitted nylon are so uncomfortable around one of the worst bits of my spine. I need lift but can’t tolerate pressure round the band area of the bra for more than an hour or so, and halter necks are a torture device if you have neck issues. It is the single item of clothing most in need of a redesign.
I get back and shoulder ache too from bras. x
Ughhhhhh I hate bra fittings. Every store measures differently, so I have to try on at least 5-6 different sizes and styles before I find one that fits....which my chronic illness won't allow. So I pick one store, get measured, and buy their bras. Add in that I have giant gazongas....my bras now cost the same as a small country. So not fair! I HATE bra shopping :(
awwww I totally understand. It took me about 2 hours once to get fitted and then find the right shape and size for me. Its a right pain. xx
Is it weird that my body shape hasn’t changed but I feel so much more confident and attractive in my chair than the did any other time in my life with my conditions? This year I actually want to go “swimming” and stuff I’m just so much happier in my chair.
I don't believe I've ever had a bra fitting, I need to do that.
yes its always a good idea. I really should have one too. Not had one for a good few years!!!
Really good advice watching for a muffin top as well as getting too hot or not showing off your milk and cookies 😆
I really love the denim shorts and cute tops you picked for them. Since I’ve been less active, I’ve gained weight so I can’t wear that sort of outfit. ☹️
Do you have any videos on staying fit and healthy when you can’t get enough activity?
I’m hourglass- bigger chest and hips- bit of a mummy tummy and no butt (but not like anyone can see it if I’m sitting on it) I’m 5”8 and have long legs, I’m slim, I like my slightly fitted flannel shirts, vest tops, skinny/straight/bootcut jeans, I absolutely love one of my long sleeve pyjama tops it’s like this super flattering fit and is literally my fav top- such a waste that it’s pyjamas 😂 also sometimes I buy skater dresses and skirts but not brave enough to wear them yet. I like slouchy sweaters (like the one in my picture is my boyfriends, he gave me it to keep me warm when he’s not here) I like longer tops and vests like camis to hide any accidental back flashage but I feel more comfortable wearing low rise jeans. I buy my clothes online.
Thank you so much for this, I've been lost trying to find what to wear in the heat and I wanted to ask how do you not stick to your wheelchair cushion mine has a covering on it that's leather like and I stick to it all the time?, but in the winter time it's a super comfortable cushion because it's gel and foam under the cover
hi dawn, i put a white pillowcase over the seat of my wheelchair so it doesn't get sticky in the heat, works great! :)
Hmmm good question. I want to make a video about cushions at some point. I have an amazing anti sweat cushion, I can't remember the name of it.Ill see if i can find out. Its on my really old chair that my brother in law borrowed along time ago. At the moment I have a JAY cushion. it has material covering it, so no stickage, but it can get a lil sweaty when hot ;)
I'm a bit late to the party, but you can use a stretchy jersey (t-shirt material) pencil skirt or miniskirt as a cushion cover, with the bonus that you can get them in cool patterns and colours! just slide it over the cushion and tuck the end underneath!
Body suits are sort of similar to play suits and some of them you can open at the bottom of it so you don't have to take the whole thing off
I have never had a bra fit in my life.
Samantha - you can go to a bra shop at the mall and get a fitting. They'll do it for free. I mean, they'll (of course) try to talk you into buying, but they will measure you.
Its worth doing. You may be surprised at what they suggest you wear. Most shops do them for free. Its important for your "boob health" in the long run as you don't want to be damaging breast tissue! xxx
I should be getting an electric wheelchair soon , any top tips , I'm vagely androgynous in style
I'm fairly skinny (less so now :D) but I have scoliosis and a bum
I got a wheelchair today!! Renting to buy but still! Couldn’t get my insurance to cover it but still yay! Finally!
Great video 🖒
Thank you. X
I have zips put in my jean legs so I can put them on easier.
That’s such a good idea, I was thinking about doing the same thing. Did u get them specially put in? X
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard yes I use a local dress makers
You get jeans with zipper at endless ability online shop. They have the best jeans and they fit perfectly. I love them, they are very stretchy and all colours available.
i really need to try these. x
That is a great idea. Can you see them when they are zipped up? Even after 12 years jeans are a struggle! What might they charge Anika? I like a certain fit with jeans....but to be honest I have not tried anything like endless ability as Drea suggests. I agree Gem Hubbard I really need to try these too. My level is lower (t10 complete), but it's just a struggle and I am honestly impatient.
Oh yeah and forgot to add that I need to get in front of a mirror tonight and see how my bra fairs....I suspect it flunks! :-)
How was it? x
This is a comment on a possible way to wear the playsuit.... IF you are able to maneuver in such a way, you could get a seamstress or yourself if you sew to put snaps in the crotch, that way you don't have to take everything off. Hope this helps.
Do you have any tips for avoiding wheelchair marks? My wheels scuff up my bottoms a little bit at the hip
OOOooOOO do you have side guards? i think thats the best way. xx
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard I didn’t know side guards were a thing! I will look for some
Are play suits the same as what Americans call rompers?
Yes I believe so. :)
Wow, I didn't think you would reply to mine. hahaha I mean you get so many comments. I love your videos! I'm in a wheelchair too and I always wondered if I could do youtube you've shown me i can do anything if i put my mind to it. keep being you. you're amazing!!!
awwww I try to reply to as many comments as I can. :)
If you start youtube make sure you send me a link so I can see. Yes where there is a will there is a way. ;) xxx
Thank you! I will be sure to send you a link if I do, but I plan to finish school first :D
I would say yes based on the style of the item of clothing. The style is without straps (I haven’t seen that in the US myself). I’ve seen ones with straps that look just like that.
My hardest is my tummy im a t 7 so well u know! What level are you may i ask
