    To elaborate... thigh gaps are largely down to body structure. Most anyone with wide hips will end up with a thigh gap once they've slimmed down a bit.

    If Jessica Ennis and Beyonce don't need a thigh gap....neither do you. No one ACTUALLY cares about thigh gaps. You don't look at someone and go 'she's hot. but im not interested cos she hasn't got a thigh gap'.

    Spoiler: a lot of photos taken of girls showing off their 'thigh gap' is actually just them leaning forwards a bit. Try it. Stand in front of a mirror, tilt your upper body forwards slightly. Tada....now you have your 'thigh gap'

    Open your legs really wide... (O wait, that sounds inappropriate...)

    Unfortunately it comes down to bone structure. And it is possible for everyone, but it's also possible for anyone to weigh so little that you can circle your hands around your thighs, and if that's what it takes, do you really want to be that skinny?

    It's how your body is structured. Some people can have them, some never can. Even when I was a 100lb ballerina I had no such thing.

    Look at the women who have narrow hips. They don't have thigh gaps, unless they r too skinny.

    It's genetic, if you have narrow hips, you won't have one.

    I lost weight and got the gap. My mum has it too. I think it's to do with wide hips, genetics as what everyone else says. My proportions are 34-25.5-35.

    gonna say exactly what everyone else has said, bone structure due to genetics. At the end of the day, the confidence you build from getting the body you worked for is waaaaay more attractive then any gap!

    See what you mean with the tilt now!

    Yeah, even when I was at my smallest, I didnt have a 'thigh gap'. Now my thighs are so awesomely huge that they touch when my feet are apart.

    Genetics. I have wider hips, but even when I was 115 lbs at 5'9" I didn't have a thigh gap because I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs.

    Gaps are not made from how skinny ur legs are but the size of ur hips and its self explanatory aswell. Wider hips, skinnier thighs = gap. Small hips, skinny thighs= not always. luckily i have the body shape that can have that gap but not everyone and it really is simply just genetics

    Make love to a wide-hipped man.

    There are plenty are plenty of "educational" videos on the internet if you want to check your technique.

    Liberal application of a cheese grater?

    Seriously though, it's a silly fleeting fad that's unachievable without either a) the genetics for wide hips or b) great pain. File it under other stupid physical fashion fads like:

    It's about as bonkers.

    ^ This. Focus on what you have and what you can achieve and do not waste time pining after the impossible. You can file this under that category of "things girls and young women stress about that only they notice and men are oblivious to."

    I've always wondered what the facination with the gap is. Women are suppose to have curves and those curves don't just mean T&A!! I know we all have our own ideal of what we want to look like but I hope that ideal is realistic for your body. I am 5'3'' with a natually muscular build. I will never have long lean dancers legs. Sure I can get my legs lean but they will never look like someone who is 5'11'' with a natually lean build...its just impossible. Please ladies make yourself the best you, you can be.....not the closest thing to what magazines say you should be.
