Inverted / V bum

Posting here for traffic. I just realised I have a V/ inverted bum. I have enough projection so it looks ok with clothes on, but in underwear it's a completely different story. Has anybody been able to fix it?

Half those pics are AI.

If you don’t like your bum there’s, diet, excercise or cosmetic surgery. That’s it’s basically.

But I don’t think you should be worrying about AI bums

That was just the best diagram I could find. It's not as uncommon as many other ladies describe the same "issue" on Reddit.

That diagram is ridiculous! Jesus.

You can’t change your basic shape unless you have surgery, so just forget about it.

This is so depressing. I teach teenagers and to think that they are hearing this crap about how their butt looks from the side and back (Reddit thread linked above). No wonder there are so many mental health issues when something so trivial becomes a thing.

I don't understand the diagram. "Round" is exactly the same as "heart shaped".

Brings me back to drawing on a mirror in eyeliner to find out what shaped face I had before deciding on what kind of fringe to have in.

Sorry I didn't mean you in particular, just other people seem to have a desire for it.

When I was young everyone wanted a flat arse, while I had a round one. I didn’t understand why they wanted a flat one but then you get older and realize that people have preferences and it’s ok.

And I don't understand the inverted/V shape -her arse isn't wider at the top than at the bottom and the only v is her knicker line.

Well that's how the V works. It's fuller at the top and then concave on the sides 2/3 of the bum. It's kind of hard to explain but it's related to the infamous hip dips

I searched the internet high and low and couldn’t find the same kind of chart for men, their bums and their pants anywhere.

VivX · 20/10/2024 19:05

FFS, it's 2024. Who comes up with this twaddle.

A young mother died in September following Bum Surgery, to get a round bum.

Instead of staring at your arse in the mirror spend a bit of time researching how the female body has been subjected to an ever changing ideal. It's not a winter coat you're choosing, it is your body. You get what you get, and at some point over the course of your life it will probably be "in fashion" for a stint.

Anyone with a big bum in the 60's was hating it as much as you're hating your bum now, and longing for something nice and flat. It's all such a waste of energy, it's a very good way to keep women down and feeling inadequate, that's all.

Step away from the mirror, I can promise you that nothing amazing is going to happen if you suddenly wake up tomorrow with a massive round arse. The world will keep turning.

I promise, nobody ever lay on their death bed and wished they had spent more of their life obsessing about the shape of their arse.

The bottom left corner of his pec?! Thanks for finding this, I can sleep tonight knowing there is equality, though not in his chest area.

Ok I just looked up ‘hip dips’. FFS this is all so ridiculous. Women being told that perfectly normal body shapes are a problem. Who makes this shit up?

EmeraldRoulette · 20/10/2024 20:01

@Chattenoire curious about your age

I remember talking about bum shape in my teens. Haven't thought about it since. Unless you're a model it doesn't matter and anyone looking and judging is weird.

never heard of hip dips

VictoryOrDeath · 20/10/2024 20:04

LostOnTheWayToManderley · 20/10/2024 15:29

Never mind parking threads, this post needs a diagram.

🤣

Chattenoire · 20/10/2024 15:34

There!

Do men spend time worrying about what their arse looks like too 🧐

DiscoinFrisco · 20/10/2024 20:06

Hip dips, thigh gaps, bingo wings, muffin tops, v-buns. ....... How many ways can women be made to hate our bodies? 😔

What on earth is a v bum?

Indeed. Or an “S” bum?

What fresh hell is this? Christ years ago all women had to worry about was if they were fat and if their tits were too big/small/saggy. Now I’m expected to worry about what shape my arse is?

😂

This 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fasterplastercaster · 20/10/2024 20:16

Think of it like this. You may have the bum of the future without realising it. If someone would have told me in the 90s that big bums would be all the rage I’d have laughed but here we are 🤷‍♀️

Waitingfordoggo · 20/10/2024 20:19

What even is a V, D or B bum?

All I know is no one wants a D&V bum.
