    Nah, I don't think troll. If you've never not had that layer of fat, you wouldn't know what it would feel like without it. I can see being self conscious over a FUPA.

    Lately I have been seeing articles that the mons pubis is the "thigh gap" for 2015. It didn't take long for it to show up on MFP. Also, the articles all stated that the only way to reduce it is to reduce overall fat or liposuction.

    Apparently it has become a "thing" thanks to the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition cover photo.

    *Face palm* All wearing a trash bag is going to do is dehydrate you...it's like creating a personal sauna. Green tea does not help you lose weight...a calorie deficit is needed...you can drink all the green tea in the world but if you're not in a calorie deficit you are not going to lose weight.

    Again, she was kidding.... Read the whole thread!

    Thank you for spelling that out...I was afraid to ask what a FUPA was. You saved me the embarrassment.

    *backs out slowly now*

    Yeah, but it would've been a lot more helpful before I Googled it at work.

    That's what trimmers are for.

    I'm sure there's a vibrating machine to help reduce the fat in this area. I mean they have them for abs and stuff. (Inserting sarcasm clause as appearently it is needed today) (and I said inserting, lol)

    It's officially a "thing" as of this week. Thing is quotation marks because this is according to a UK tabloid, so, you know, take that for what you will.

    I'm surprised it took three days for it to show up on MFP. Or maybe it was here all along and I was lucky enough to miss the earlier threads.
  • You can't g-spot reduce. C'mon. I'm not the first one to think that, right?

    YES. I like this guy.

    An overall caloric deficit will do you there.

    Weight loss will definitely help, but exercises that bring your legs/knees up to your chest should work the low region of the abs. The spot just above the underwear line. High knees and mountain climbers are a great exercises that don't require any equipment, but are great.

    Remember the vibrating machines from back in the day?... I like to take my Hitachi Wand after some great 'me time' and just hold it to my mons pubis.... I'm just melting that fat right off. My mons pubis has never looked so good.

    I hear that in order for the vibrating gizmo to work, you need to focus not just on the mons, but the entire region. Or something.

    Also, "Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons" was a really good song. I AM NOT OLD, I'M VINTAGE.

    ok, so this new fupa anxiety is thanks to cosmo and other tabloids? Good to know, can't wait to see more threads about it to laugh at.

    Those would work the muscles, not reduce fat. Regardless, she's not referring to the spot just above the underwear line, but just below it.

    OMGEEEE, there are area specific exercises otherwise we wouldnt have arm day and leg day now can she purposely lose weight in one area, no not really. Can you work certain muscle groups to target problem areas YES! So sick of how everyone attacks people on here!

    Is this really happening right now?

    Leg day is to work leg muscles, not to burn the fat off of just legs. Arm day is to work on your biceps, triceps, etc. You are not going in to burn fat off of those specific areas. GAWD, I wish that worked! I'd have thigh day everyday!!! Tomorrow is belly day!! Yeah!!

    It's threads like these when I wish MFP would allow medical pictures to be posted. I feel half the people have no clue what the mons pubis/Venus mount/pubic mound is.

    ETA: OT - there's no exercise for this area of the body. It's fatty tissue. Eat at a deficit or get surgery.

    No kidding. Here is the SI swimsuit cover. It's not a medical drawing, but it does show a mons pubis....albeit one that has been waxed and photoshopped and features so little body fat as to look prepubescent. Seriously. Even very thin women get a little padding there at puberty. Are they going to have to do an afterschool special on this?

    Or just stop shaving/waxing and nobody will see the "fat"

    They're not super common but I've seen at least 3 in my 4 years here.

    Which was plenty.

    And now I'm off to wipe the egg off my face.

    Don't forget to log any that you may have swallowed.
    I don't know about you guys, but when I read "mons pubis" I want to quickly go check a Mars atlas. Hmmmm... let's see, mons pubis... is that west of Mons Olympus or was it east?

    I believe it is located north of a large Canyon...
