South African Butts Rated Biggest In The World
In a recent international study, South African women have officially been recognized as having the largest average hip size in the world.
According to a 2024 report by market research company Gitnux, South Africa tops the list with an average hip circumference of 41.73 inches (approximately 105.9 cm). This is notably larger than the United States, which ranks 11th with an average of 40.2 inches (102 cm) .
Other countries with significant average hip sizes include Argentina (41 inches), Sweden (40.9 inches), Greece (40.74 inches), and Germany (40.6 inches). Interestingly, Brazil, often associated with curvaceous figures, was not included in the dataset .
Factors contributing to these measurements include genetics, obesity rates, and lifestyle choices. In South Africa, over 68% of women are classified as overweight or obese, which may influence these statistics.
Historically, the prominence of curvaceous figures in South Africa can be traced back to the Khoisan people, who have long been recognized for their distinctive body shapes.
In contemporary culture, South African women continue to celebrate their natural figures, with social media trends like the “Vuthela Challenge” showcasing their confidence and pride in their bodies.
