Mine was "are you going to be able to have kids with your hips that narrow?". (I have had three, just fine).&nbsp; And yes I have thighs that touch if my knees are touching - my hips aren't that narrow now but they aren't brough, but my thighs are full and I remember them being like that at at 17 when I was thinner.</p> <p>Mostly only a problem with exercising - I had almost forgotten it because I wear a running skirt with built in bike shorts. I feel it the first time in spring when I'm not wearing hose but then I get used to it. Also on hot nights I don't like any body parts touching so I lie like a starfish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964919 Sun, 14 Oct 2018 03:12:19 +0000 annagybe 1964919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ehhh thigh gap is *so over*<br />It's all about the bikini bridge now</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.eonline.com/news/497785/bikini-bridge-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-horrible-and-fake-new-body-trend">https://www.eonline.com/news/4.....orrible-an</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964626 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 08:09:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1964626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was at my heaviest, my thighs rubbed enough to hurt. Other times, when I’ve weighed less and been relatively more muscular (though I don’t think I’ve ever gotten below 21% body fat), I’ve had thigh gap when standing still with my knees together. So I’m going to say it’s a combination of bone structure and body make up. It matters as much as any part of appearance—not at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964606 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 05:05:50 +0000 cindysmith 1964606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, that's hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964565 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:49:27 +0000 elpgal 1964565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, I also have sticky upper thighs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964547 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 21:58:34 +0000 Mainelady 1964547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thighs don’t touch, no matter what my weight.

It's genetic (I'm 100% Portuguese.) Plenty of thigh rub in the summer, and I hate wearing the slip shorts so I just use Body Glide. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I don't really believe any significant percentage of the population has a thigh gap, for what it's worth. I reject the whole idea of it being some kind of goal. Some people may be genetically predisposed to it, but most probably aren't. I don't think most significant others care about such things, either. That's just my take.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964530 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 21:00:01 +0000 JAileen 1964530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s a photoshop fail from Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964528 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 20:57:39 +0000 cindysmith 1964528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo.

Totally normal. I figure the whole thigh gap phenomenon is just another reason for us to feel bad about our bodies-and we dont need that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs/page/2#post-1964369 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 12:39:29 +0000 Janet 1964369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, I've been the recipient of that "baby-birthing hips" remark, even from strangers, and it drives me nuts. Even as recently as last year, when it's pretty obvious that I'm old enough that ship has sailed. Grrrr. I think it was meant as a compliment, but I hate it. Thanks for reducing me to a body part that I never even used that way, random man on the street!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964364 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 11:45:39 +0000 carter 1964364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine don't touch, but I have wide hips. My former MIL used to say I had hips meant for birthing lots of grand babies. She thought that was a good thing. I struggled with that a bit ;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964334 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 08:21:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1964334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are a normal body weight for your height then thigh rub is just part of the normal physical variations between people,don’t stress about it.lf it bothers you there are some good anti chafing balms out there and some excellent anti rub knickers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964331 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 07:27:52 +0000 Brooklyn 1964331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine have been rub-a-dub-dubbing since I was 12. I remember because some people “kindly” pointed it out to me then. And they’ve always been that way despite weight fluctuations and (at times) some pretty serious weight training. I try not to worry about it. I suspect this physical characteristic is shared by a lot of women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964327 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 06:50:24 +0000 Jane 1964327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What ginger said. I have fluffy thighs and am pear shaped and haven’t had my thighs rub because I think they simply stick together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964323 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 06:38:19 +0000 Synne 1964323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am tall and somewhat slender, and my thighs rub like crazy. I've actually had to reinforce the upper thigh-area on my jeans with extra fabric, because they rip and tear soo fast due to the friction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964308 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 04:44:45 +0000 Jules 1964308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>em, some of these images are also pretty clearly photoshopped to create the gap. It sometimes looks ridiculously fake. This is nothing against women who do have that shape, just bad photoshopping to meet some vicious cycle of what’s currently determined to be desirable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964299 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 03:59:14 +0000 Gigi 1964299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a very small person but have fuller thighs (I am an hourglass), so my thighs rub together. It doesn't normally cause any issues for me, thank goodness. I agree with the above comments, that whether you have a thigh gap or not is mostly dependent on your skeletal structure. I think it is sad that some young women feel bad about their bodies because they lack a thigh gap.</p> <p>I did have a thigh gap one time in my life, and that was when I was extremely underweight from digestive problems. I looked somewhat emaciated. I am much happier with my full thighs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964270 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 02:44:08 +0000 em 1964270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for the feedback. I am thin and petite and danced for a number of years and always had thighs that touched and frankly, never really thought anything of it until I started seeing pictures in catalogs and so forth. I mean, I don't see many (any) naked women, so really, how would I know? I've seen more naked men than women...but that's a topic for another day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964268 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 02:16:52 +0000 Vildy 1964268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even imagine having a gap at the top of my thighs. :D&nbsp;&nbsp; My son, who is very large and has sensitive redhead skin,&nbsp; can get terrible chafing, just from his pants rubbing in humid weather.&nbsp; He found Body Glide just so-so and I'm sure I read here in another thread about Monistat anti-chafing gel.&nbsp; He relies on it.&nbsp; If he goes even one day forgetting to apply it, he's got a seriously painful problem.&nbsp; So I took my cue from that and I use it too, when needed.&nbsp; I also use it just under my breasts.&nbsp; And it works as a makeup primer, too.&nbsp; I use it on my upper lip so my lipstick, even with lip pencil, doesn't rise into a few lines I have. </p> <p>ETA&nbsp; And son's pants are worn loose, too, so he can move in them at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964264 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 01:29:14 +0000 Taffy 1964264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rub, rub, rub! Even when I played college volleyball.</p> <p>I always wear some kind of slip shorts with dresses. You put those on and forget about it. I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-poll-the-group-on-your-thighs#post-1964262 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 01:24:18 +0000 Jules 1964262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone could have plenty of inner thing muscle and be very strong but still carry fat there that causes chub rub. Or maybe even have muscles shaped that way. Human variation is amazing. The strongest woman at my gym is not slim at all. Haven’t checked out her thigh gap, too busy cheering on her impressive weight lifting.<br /> I have chub rub *and* a bony chest *and* something odd going on with my knees where I have sleep (in fetal position) with a pillow between them because there doesn’t seem to be enough fat or muscle to cushion, so they knock together uncomfortably. </p>
