Some trends, despite the passage of time, go on sticking with us. This is the case with the “thigh gap,” that aspired to space between the thighs when standing.

Between dubious challenges and “tips” to accomplish it, the message is clear: it would be possible – and even desirable for some – to attain a gap between your thighs . Really?
