Bikini bridge
Beauty fad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bikini bridge is defined as "when bikini bottoms are suspended between the two hip bones, causing a space between the bikini and the lower abdomen".[1] The phrase originated in the United States[2] on January 5, 2014, coined by users on the /b/ board on the imageboard 4chan as a parody of popular thinspiration memes.[3] According to a posting on the website, users intended to spread content across social media regarding bikini bridges.[4] It was reported on by U.S. television program Today on January 7.[5] Several commentators critiqued the posts for displaying insensitivity or being "dangerous"[6] for women with an eating disorder.[7][8][9]
Bikini bridges have been described as "fake",[10] and compared to the Chinese trends "Collarbone Challenge", and the "A4 Challenge".[2]
