Thigh Gap: A New Trend

 There were only two classifications of a body figure: Slim or Fat. Not until different body insecurities of women spread all over. It may be pathetic for some, but this is reality. Most of the girls nowadays chooses to improve their physical image based on what they think is perfect, setting aside their health.


Last time, I was checking one of my favorite fashion bloggers' blog post when I saw a comment mentioning 'thigh gap'. Out of curiosity, I checked some articles regarding that matter. And to my surprise, an article entitled Thigh Gap A Growing Obsession Online... But Not Necessarily At The Surgeon's Office explained all the questions in my mind. Thigh gap is said to be viral to women, particularly to teen girls. It pertains to the space between one's thighs. It is my first time to encounter such term and not all people know anything about it but it is known online or to networking sites, especially in Tumblr.


"The desire for such slim thighs is apparently so strong that plastic surgeons are seeing a rise in demand for thigh-specific cosmetic procedures." as to what  Ellie Krupnick stated. Because of aiming for this new kind of trend, there is an increase in demand for such operations for having a thigh gap. It is no surprise that many girls consult doctors for improving their body since they are eager to remove fats and they think that this is the easiest way to be slim.

Since most of us are in social networking sites, different kind of trends are easy to spread all over the world. That is why there are also different kind of insecurities among girls arise. What we see and what we hear is the reason why we desire or aim for such things.
