    Honestly, it looks like the problem is that we've been taught to think there's something wrong with a normal leg.

    *kitten* yes! I never realized there were so many parts of my body to obsess over until I came here. Silly me, didn't even know what a hip dip or thigh gap or bikini bridge was.

    You forgot the ab crack B), h.

    Don't have that either :cry: Nor those cute back dimples. I'm such a failure!

    I do, however, have a waist-to-hip ratio of .72 :wink:

    Jeez, now I have to go find what mine is.
    Back in a sec.

    I want to play too... if I could be arsed getting off the sofa to get a measuring tape!!!

    I think .7 is 'ideal.' I had that before babies, darn it!

    I learned Hip Dip on here too. I had never ever in my life compared people's hips to the extent that I knew there was any difference in anatomy on the outside curve of your hip.

    I have hip dips. I thought that's what happens when you develop quad muscles!

    We all have that part we are never happy with because the airbrushed perfect pictures or the plastic surgeons scalpel have removed from the model pictures. Be proud of everything you are and achieved

    Hip dip strikes again. I feel your pain but not much can be done about it.

    I have a biceps crack, whatever that is! Oh, and a bikini bridge, but only because I'm blessed with a massive pelvis for some reason.

    Yes -- I've been proud of mine, because it means that there's not fat covering that gap.

    It is just how some humans are normally shaped with their bones and muscles. It is not uncommon or weird. No one but you is noticing it.
    I don't think you need to do anything about it. You have your own feelings about your body though. I guess you could try exercises for that area to see if you can change anything- or wear some padded shapewear or silicone hip pads to smooth the transition between your waist and thigh.
