Contrary to popular belief (or what it looks like on Instagram!), every woman’s body is completely different. Unless surgically enhanced, or the girl has been MAJORLY blessed by the genetic gods, it’s likely that she has lumps, bumps, texture and rolls in all the normal places. Something a LOT of girls get, whether their thin or thicc, black or white is CELLULITE. Cellulite is a type of fat deposit under the skin, which can lead to an uneven surface and dimpling, commonly referred to as ‘orange peel skin’. It’s 100% common and something fashion magazines and online retailers are working to normalise and show more often, letting young girls (and men!) know that they are not alone.

So, do men care about cellulite? What do you think? Some majorly conflicting answers, and some misinformation in here. Despite what a couple of the men here think, cellulite is not caused by pregnancy, gaining or losing weight. If you have it, you have it, and if you don’t…that’s not to say you won’t develop some over time! It’s a shame that some men seem to view cellulite on women’s bodies as ‘disgusting’ and ‘not nice’…I would like to see how perfect they are, if they can disregard a woman’s body like that! Unfortunately, it’s really hard, if not impossible to treat cellulite, so telling a woman you’re uncomfortable with it will only hurt her feelings! A lot of men here don’t care, and are knowledgeable in the fact that it is a natural part of a woman’s body. Ladies – OWN your bodies and don’t ever let anyone make you feel ‘less-than’ because of cellulite!
