Also for the purpose of having babies, the female pelvis is relatively wide. As we age, that curve begins to flatten because a couple of the discs at the bottom of our spine are trapezoidal, not rectangular, and they dry out.

Then there’s the cute little swayed butt we had when we were younger. Yes, there are surgeries where they can stick a spacer between two vertebrae, but you can’t do that to every single disc space. It can’t be stopped and certainly not reversed. Our discs compress for the same reason our faces wrinkle and our breasts sag: the loss of integrity of our collagen. When I look in the mirror, I can tip my head, smile, cross my legs just so, and I think I look pretty good, even at 67.īut grab another mirror, turn around, and it’s quite a different story.ĭid you know that as we age, all of the discs in our spine dehydrate and slowly lose their fluid? This process shortens our spine and it’s responsible for some of our loss in height. Unfortunately that’s true, because there comes a time when we might want to cover the things that don’t look as nice as they did when we were young, perky, and had lots of strong collagen.

In a recent post, Brenda suggested if we wear tight leggings, some of us might want to cover our bums.
