My college friend taped filler in hers, sometimes small weights. Don’t worry. They will fill in with time. Maybe the next big thing in fashion will be something to reveal hip dips

Sorry, what's a "hip dip"?

Hip dips are caused by your skeletal structure, so you can't get rid of them. Carrying extra weight in your bottom half may make them look more prominent, but they will be there even if you lose a lot of weight.

I have hip dips and don't mind if people see them. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having them. I even had them when I was extremely underweight for a few years due to health issues.

Hip dips happen because of bone structure so I don’t think there is much you can do to get rid of them. Perhaps some exercises for gluteus medius and gluteus Maximus as in this website article, which also provides some tips for how to dress to minimize the way they look.

Lumi- thanks for raising an issue I didn’t even know I had- dang,
Gigi and Stayfit- thanks for education- cue tears as discovering yet another body flaw.
I knew I had the bumps but never knew it had a name. I always worked around it with fit and flair or A line skirts/ dresses and trouser type pants that give a smooth straight line. I don’t like tight fit on things for it’s not all that prominent........ are maybe I am deluding self-lol

I can happily report that via this post I found a hip dip appreciation blog: http://hipdips.tumblr.com
And this awesome comic about why you don’t have to have any relationship with your body (love OR hate):

So while I did not love the topic of this post, I still love ylf

Well this was a revelation to me. I now feel like I’ve been living under a rock! I do have hip dips, pretty substantial ones, but always accepted them as part of my individual anatomy—neither my mother nor sister have them. And I’ve always really liked them!! Still do. I was clueless that this feature is shared by many, but am surprised that there is so much angst over them. Looking at the pics in the links I saw a lot of beautiful bodies but nothing that seemed odd or displeasing. We as women are way too hard on ourselves. I shall give my lovely hip dips extra appreciation from now on out.

I have them I think (not 100 percent sure what they are) but I quite like them actually:)

I suspect to disguise them it is choice of fabric and fit around this area - not clingy knit fabrics?

I have them too. By the time it bothered me that not everyone else did, I also realized that many, many people do and just disguise or reveal them as they please.

I had never heard of them. I might have them. I really don’t care one way or the other.

It’s not a body flaw. As others mentioned, it’s present based on your skeletal structure - like the amount of space (or in my case, lack thereof) between the bottom of my rib cage and the top of my hip bone. It just is a thing that some of our bodies have.

Hmm--another body "flaw" I didn't know I had to worry about. I thought I just had straight hips, instead of the pleasantly rounded ones of some of the women in my ballet class.

I'm not going to worry about it though. I have enough to do worrying about my expanding belly and love handles.

I also believe that working out and keeping fit are important to having a positive body image, no matter what your shape.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Lumi.
