In a video shared to TikTok by @sairaayan on September 14, Saira’s husband pats her on her belly to remind her to hold her stomach in.

“I appreciate it but at the same time do I get mad at him for doing that?,” she jokingly wrote alongside the clip.

Although the 22-year-old made it clear that her husband wasn’t body shaming her in the footage, TikTokers described the move as “messed up.”

Two-Thirds of Women Self-Conscious of Their Stomach

A 2015 study found that 90 percent of 18 to 24-year-old women disliked at least one body part. Polling 5,035 women aged 18 to 64, one in five surveyed said they were considering cosmetic surgery or treatments, including 86 percent of 25 to 34-year-olds.

Sixty-five percent of women said their stomach was their least favorite body part, followed by legs and thighs, then buttocks.

An earlier study found that three-quarters of women felt so self-conscious about their appearance that they avoided being in photographs altogether. Fifty-two percent were ashamed of their teeth, while 14 percent hated their smile lines.

Social media has been shown to exacerbate body image issues—particularly Instagram—as well as encourage social comparison, poor self-esteem and eating disorders.

‘That’s So Wrong of Him’

In the video, Saira and her husband are standing together in front of a bay. He touches her stomach so she remembers to suck it in, which many viewers found insulting.

“That’s so messsed up,” said myaxxx24.

“I wouldn’t let that slide,” wrote Fatima.

“His response should be WHY? YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL!” commented Alice.

While Hbfhnjkjhbnmyhujnkij said: “That’s so wrong of him, girl you slay.”

However, in the comments Saira clarified that she asks her husband to remind her to hold her belly in, so she doesn’t hate the final photo.

“We’ve been married 2 years and he’s my bestfriend, he knows I’ll hate the picture afterwards if I looked hella bloated,” she wrote.

“I’m literally more than fine with it. I more than appreciate everyone coming to my defence tho.”

To which user Sumi replied: “People who say it’s messed up and wrong are people who aren’t married. This is perfectly normal he wants her to look good.”

User29746436473 agreed, commenting: “It’s not for him, it’s for you. You guys have a healthy relationship.”
