Will YOU join in? Female Twitter users embrace new trend for 'thigh reading'
IT'S the new social media trend meant to help boost women's self esteem.
There is a new social media trend for showing off your thighs on Twitter
There aren't many social media trends that help women to feel empowered and confident about their bodies - the coin challenge, the thigh gap and the hip bone challenge to name but a few.
Yesterday a challenge with a difference came about - the #thighreading picture trend.
Women are taking pictures of their thighs, showing off their fabulous imperfections, and telling the world why they're doing it.
The internet trend comes just 24 horus after Yanet Garcia was made into a web sensation with her Mexican weather presenting skills.

Rounded thighs, thinner thighs, short and long legs - there are no exclusions for this trend. It's all about joining in, rather than a competition.
It took hold yesterday and has continued into today with Twitter users taking the challenge to heart and posting three or four pictures at a time.
One user said: "I don't have a thigh gap, but who cares. I love my thighs and I'm perfectly happy with them. #thighreading"
Another added: "#ThighReading squishy, strong, stretched out and imperfect thighs. This hashtag is so important."
I am beautiful & so are you, stretch marks definitely included. These mean we've grown & we're tough. #thighreading pic.twitter.com/3S4awmuqwr
