Some women with excess weight actually have a thigh-gap. Really! Know quite a few…

These are the women who always have great legs and they tend to put extra weight on their upper bodies, but not on their inner thighs. If they gain weight they still maintain a thigh gap and so rarely, if ever, suffer thigh chafing! (How lucky they are)

It’s not just how much fat the inner thighs are programmed to store either…

It comes down to – pelvis shape, how much the leg bones bow inward or outward, plus how much fat and muscle is wrapped around the inner thighs – that determines whether thighs touch or not!

So YES, many women both slim and curvy, young and old – have thighs that touch! Yet we keep it a secret…

I suspect, because a few years ago some trashy tabloid news articles were released declaring that for a woman to be beautiful, or closer to a 10 out of 10, she should have a thigh gap. Implying that if you don’t have one, you’re not beautiful! – This is rubbish!

A thigh gap has its cuteness for sure, but it’s not a measure of female beauty, it’s just one type of female beauty, while buxom thighs are yet another variation on female beauty! Full thighs look sexy and are strong – So celebrate if you’ve got a pair!

Mariska in her fusepilates blog has this to say…

“So did you know that it’s anatomically inaccurate to believe a woman’s thighs shouldn’t touch? The goal should be proper leg alignment, and in that alignment, almost everyone’s thighs will touch.”

Mariska uses herself as an example and explains that her thighs don’t touch, not because she is skinny – but because she is a little bow legged!
