Unfortunately, we live in a world where the female figure is continually scrutinized and subjected to illogical judgment. What is appropriate on a woman's body shifts frequently and seemingly without rhyme or reason.

Some, on the other hand, are embracing what we like to think of as a small umbrella for our lady bits. We're here for a new TikTok challenge that celebrates the "fupa" in all of its splendor.

Here are 5 crazy TikTok challenges to try with your friends

What is Fupa Challenge? 

There was a song by country music singer Lainey Wilson that started it all. She sings in her song 'Heart Like a Truck' that even though she has been hurt, she will not give up. In order to make the song a little more personal, TikTok user Katie Wiekamp decided to make it her own. A TikTok filmed by Katie shows her showcasing updated lyrics while standing in front of a mirror.

In her song, Katie sings, "I've got a fupa like a truck. It's been drug through the mud. Runs on kids and chips and queso." For the duration of the video, Katie proudly dances while gesturing to the aforementioned "fupa". As a result of Katie's powerful message, Lainey Wilson herself responded in the comments. She wrote, "This is the real version!" However, one more version came down the pipeline.

People began incorporating Katie's sounds in their own videos. People of various ages and sizes joyously exhibited their delight in appreciating their fupa.

Fupa as an art form

Animator Pierre Rütz began his artistic career on Instagram, posting illustrations of "full-figured women as an artistic exercise."

According to Brit Plus Co, Pierre told the publication that he is "glad to contribute even a little bit to promote the beauty of women with different shapes and sizes, "mainly because these bodies are rarely depicted on television or in films."

Pierre likewise finds inspiration in the strength of women. "When I look at them, I am entirely convinced that women are stronger than men in many ways," he commented.

'Good pumpum need shelta'

Many users on Twitter are appreciating this trend. One user wrote "Anyway, not worried about my fupa anymore bc in the words of a man on tiktok, “good pumpum need shelta,” while the other wrote "Seeing women rock their fupa on tiktok has been truly liberating. thank u all."

Another one tweeted, "I keep seeing fupa positivity on TikTok and I think that TikTok is trying to tell me to stop being a baby back b***h and to start loving my lower belly." Some users are saying that it is an affirmation part of the internet. "I found what I call fupa TikTok and it's such an affirming part of the internet," one wrote.
