Hip dips: What are they and why do you get them?

The depth of your hip dip depends on how your hip bone sits atop your femur. Insider notes that hip dips are more pronounced depending on how much higher the top of your pelvis (hip bone) is in relation to your femur.

Because hip dips are a skeletal thing, there is no workout on earth that will make it go away and leave you with the hourglass figure of Jessica Rabbit. Insider quotes personal trainer Kelly Bakewell as saying on her Instagram account that banishing hip dips by working out isn’t a thing. “Gluteus medius isn’t a meaty muscle, it wouldn’t really be able to be built up to help with a dip,” she wrote. “If the dip is from excess fat then exercise may help but again fat storage can be genetic. It’s mostly down to high wide hips. Be proud ladies.”

We think that with everything going on, a hip dip, like a thigh gap, isn’t exactly something to lose sleep over. So embrace your body image and don’t obsess about something you can’t, and shouldn’t try to change.
