# Hiplet Hiplet is TikTok slang for women with hip dips, the natural indentations below the hip bone. Popularized in late June 2026 by TikToker @damionstalino through trolling videos, the term spread quickly as both an insult and a target of pushback from women who called out the framing as corny body-shaming. ## Origin The concept was popularized by TikTok user @damionstalino, who posted a video on June 16th, 2026, captioned "Women with hip dips are beautiful and perfect. I will never be attracted to them, but they're still beautiful and perfect"[1]. The clip pulled in over 1.5 million views within a week and set the template for the running bit[2]. Over the following days, @damionstalino kept posting on the topic, arguing that women with hip dips were suitable only to be treated as "little sisters" or friends rather than romantic partners, and rolling out the mock-diagnostic "bone recession" line in follow-up clips[2]. On June 21st, 2026, he posted the video where the actual word "hiplet" first appeared, gaining more than 385,000 views in four days and giving the trend the label it needed to spread as a hashtag and discussion topic[2]. - **Platform:** TikTok - **Creator:** @damionstalino - **Date:** 2026 ## Overview Hiplet is internet slang used to describe women whose hips have visible indentations below the pelvic bone, an anatomical feature otherwise known as "hip dips"[1]. The term treats a common bone structure as a personal flaw and packages the insult in a mock-friendly tone, with the creators using it insisting that "hiplets" are still beautiful but only fit to be seen as sisters or friends rather than dating prospects[2]. The word is likely a play on "manlet," the older slang aimed at men below six feet in height, flipping that same tit-for-tat put-down back at women who publicly state height preferences[2]. Videos in the trend often adopt a mock-clinical register, with @damionstalino going as far as claiming that hip dips indicate "bone recession," a fake medical concept invented for the bit[2]. Hip dips themselves are caused by the natural distance between the hip bone and the femur and are a normal part of human anatomy[2]. They can be softened through targeted glute training or cosmetic surgery but not through diet or general exercise, which is part of what made the term feel especially loaded when it took off[2]. ## How It Spread By late June 2026, other TikTokers were reacting to the term, and much of the response came from women themselves. On June 23rd, 2026, creator @sparrowedd posted a video pushing back against "hiplet" and other slang used to knock women's bodies, drawing over 1.5 million views in two days[5]. The following day, @poo25677 shared a selfie video captioned "When I want to find true love but remember I'm a hiplet and will be seen as a coworker or a younger sister at most for the rest of my life," which racked up more than 187,000 views in two days[6]. On the same day, TikToker @canndih posted a selfie with a caption accusing men of pushing "hip dip hate" as revenge for women who say they prefer tall men, calling the move "corny" and pulling over 495,000 views in a single day[7]. Response content split roughly three ways during the last week of June 2026: women posting self-conscious videos about their own hip dips, women mocking the men using the term, and creators warning other women not to take "hiplet" seriously as a real category[2]. The three-way split kept the trend visible in the For You feed for both audiences, since videos defending women against the term still surfaced the term itself. ## How to Use "Hiplet" is typically used as a noun in a snarky, ironic register rather than a sincere insult. Common conventions include mock-earnest videos insisting a "hiplet" is "still beautiful" while framing the person as un-dateable, self-deprecating posts by women applying the label to themselves, and reaction videos that either roast the term or the men using it[2]. The format is almost entirely spoken-word TikTok. There is no standard image macro or template photo. The tell is usually a straight-to-camera selfie clip and a caption that either owns the label ironically or calls it out. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Hiplet?
