There’s no point in knowing the names of the hip types if you don’t know which kind you have. But what are the types?Įveryone has their own terminology, but as a general rule, most people would categorize the hip types as:

If you’ve stuck with us so far, you’ll know there are 5 types of hips. Stick with us to find out what those are, and how to tell which type you have.

And a lot of what makes us fall into one category rather than another is down to our hips, and how our hips work in proportion to our waists and busts. But while each of us is unique, most of us have bodies that fit (at least roughly) into a general category. The one universal truth is that no two bodies are the same… and neither are two pairs of hips. Others have steely abs and legs to heaven. We’re all unique, and thank the Lord for that. How Many Types of Hips are There?ĭespite what fashion designers seem to think, there’s no such thing as the ‘average’ body. Measure around 7-8 inches down from the narrowest part of your torso, and you’ll hit your hips. Most of us think of our hips as the widest part of the body. Which is great and all, but what does this mean to someone without a degree in biology? And where exactly are the hips? In technical terms, your hips are the ball-and-socket joints where your thigh bone meets your pelvis.
