- 43F, 32" waist

I will add that this is an especially useless inquiry because I can guarantee you only the woman with small waists will both know their waist size offhand and be eager to post their stats.

Well DUH. Everyone knows that. It's like the Post Your Net Worth threads. The wealthy are eager to respond, and sometimes a few people on the other end respond as well, to make a point.

It doesn't make the thread less fun!

Agreed, average waist for women is nearly 39 inches and we’re on page 2 and no one has come very close.

This doesn’t sound believable. 39 is a very large waist for a woman.

Well here is the CDC on that issue.

41f - 27” waist - 3 kids

42 woman, 28 pants but literally like 26.5 probably.

45 yo, 3 kids, 26 inch waist.
In jeans/pants, I wear a 24 or 25. Not sure why...

I'm not curvy or voluptuous, so I feel like an inch or two off my waist would make me look better in clothes.

50, f, 29”

Looking at waist / hip ratio would be more telling of body shape. The ratio can also often seen as a useful indicator of body fat distribution, and > 1 is sometimes used as a basis for determining certain health risks.

Why interested in this, OP? Or are you just comparing yourself without any other metrics?

You do a few inches above your belly button

I am 38f and 27”

Weird thread though

50 female size 2-4 in pants and jeans.

44, 2 kids, buy pants with a 25 inch waist.

I buy 32 pants but I’m high waisted so pants sit on my hips. So I guess I don’t really know.

52 M, I've had a 33 inch waist for 25 years.

55F, 2 kids, 30”
