Having big hips can be associated with a number of challenges and unique experiences. Here are a few moments and situations that people with large hips could understand:
1. Find the right jeans
Many jeans are designed according to the principle of “unit size”, which does not meet the different body shapes. Jeans that fit on the hips can gap on the waist, and those that fit on the waist can be too tight on the hips and thighs.
The joy of stretchy fabrics such as jeggings or jeans with a certain proportion of elasthan content can cause a big change. These materials offer more flexibility and comfort.
Proportions: Dresses that sit well on the hips can be too loose on the upper body. Conversely, dresses that sit well on the upper body can be too tight on the hips.

2. Go through tight rooms
Close rooms: squeezing through narrow corridors in shops or overcrowded public transport can be uncomfortable. Often you have to dodge carefully so as not to get together with objects or people.
So you become more conscious of your body in the room and often take more consideration for your surroundings to avoid accidental clashes.

Comfort settings: The setting of the car seat to find a comfortable driving position can be tricky. Some car seats are tight or have hard edges that press into the hips.
