    Lets not get mixed up between a box gap and a thigh gap.

    Thigh gap - nothing touches

    Box gap - thighs touch but there is that neat little heart shaped gap at the top

    aw crap - i have that.

    how do i fix it?

    or is this like - a peep hole instead of a window?

    It's a sun roof

    All of these specialists are stupid since there are sometimes overweight people who have thigh gaps. Not really impossible or unhealthy as long as you're genetically inclined to have one.

    For information's sake, just *how* skinny do you have to be to get a vagina window? Are we talking BMI 19? 17? 16?

    I don't think it's solely based on skinny. It's also bone structure. Like, your legs bow out, or you have wideset hips.

    Wait.

    SEE YA IN 90 POUNDS GUYS I'LL HAVE A THIGH GAP FROM MY CHILDBEARING HIPS THANK GOD THEY'RE FINALLY GOOD FOR SOMETHING omgomgomgomgomgomgomg

    This trend is dangerous. Worrying about thigh gap distracts women from sammich making. Say no to thigh gap. Yes sammiches.

    You're welcome. When you think about that headache you have later, you can whisper "Pistolas" and shake your fist at the sky.

    I think the general qualifications are anything under morbidly obese and a bone structure that gives you said window.

    I have one, its where i keep my balls. Highly recommended.

    That makes perfect sense! Though I've never heard it called that I know exactly what you're talking about.

    I love my thighs. My husband knows I could land one heck of a kick if I wanted to. I wish they jiggled less but I'd rather have the strength to break someone's face in for insulting my completely ungapping thighs than give up by best group of muscles to impress them. ^_^

    I blame Fatboy Slim - this was way back in 2000. Check out their album cover.

    This isn't anything new. When I was a teen (maybe 9th grade, early 90's) I was told by more than one source that if your thighs didn't touch you were an acceptabe weight but if they did then you definitively had a need to lose a few. I believed it for years. This was before the internet so.... No one to tell me other wise.

    I should have someone film me doing that in a crowded downtown area. Then edited it, add some music, some graphics. Would be just like the movies :p

    So, I'm curious. If the wind blew through your window--or you went for a run, would it make a whistling sound?

    not BMI or how skinny - thigh gap is mostly determined by the width of that whole pelvic cradle area - space between where your thigh bones stand.

    I'm still trying to get people to call it a vagina window.

    I think it will make the trend die down

    I will now refer to it as this and only this term. I will also educate others.

    Same. Must make sure all my friends are aware. lol

    My husband just inquired, so is the male version the "mangina window"?

    Also, I'm gonna start the new obsessive Tumblr trend. Toe gap. You know. Large gaps between your toes 'cause they're too skinny to cramp together. That's how ya really know you're skinny. :drinker:

    I already have serious toe gaps. I thought it was genetic bone structure but it means I'm SKINNY ALRIIIIGHT!!!!

    I like it. Pistolas sounds like a good archnemesis name.

    I'M SO JELLY OMG

    I have a big gap between my big toe and the successive toes. Mostly because I am the missing link between humans and simians.

    Mine isn't huge but if I tilt my foot slightly I can totally see a gap.

    Actually humans are meant to have toe gaps. Most of us do not because we wear shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot that smash our toes together all the time:
