Every so often, a new trend or challenge pops up online and quickly goes viral. Basically, these are fun, popular activities that get tons of people involved. In the past, we’ve seen trends like taking off shirts, using breasts to shoot pens, and plenty of other wild stunts. Recently, the internet has been buzzing about a new challenge that’s both popular and a bit cringe-worthy. It’s the “wasp waist” challenge, where beautiful girls strike some really awkward poses to show off their tiny waists.
The challenge is simple: with just a chair, the girls hold a fixed pose that’s meant to prove their body flexibility and slim waist. The minimum requirement is to touch the chest to the floor while keeping the back straight. Only those with a tiny, wasp-like waist can pull this off. For those with a bit of belly fat, the chances of success are less than 1%.
Overall, this wasp waist challenge is basically a new twist on the old “touch your belly button” trend that once went viral. The difference is that this time, the poses are more awkward and sexy, which makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Along with plenty of criticism from the online community, some worry this challenge encourages unhealthy body standards and extreme waist-slimming, which could lead to negative consequences.
For now, this trend is still pretty popular and many young girls are eager to take on the challenge to prove themselves.
