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."
One girl said: "I have knock knees and have always felt uncomfortable with my thighs. Tw Self Harm scars also #ThighReading"
And another posted: "I am beautiful & so are you, stretch marks definitely included. These mean we've grown & we're tough. #thighreading"
It would seem this empowering trend is here to stay, and it looks like Twitter users around the world are rather happy with that decision.
