Thick is a ratio, not a size, and image models are worst at ratios. The apps that hold hips and waist together, plus the framing and prompt fixes we use.
Thick is a ratio, not a size. It describes hips and thighs that are full against a waist that is not, and a ratio is the single thing image models are worst at holding. They render big well and slim well. Asked for both in the same body, they usually pick one, so a thick companion collapses either into a straight slim figure or into a uniformly full one. If uniformly full is what you actually want, our BBW page is the right page. This one is about the lower body specifically, and about the narrow waist that has to survive for the shape to read at all.
There is a second problem that no other category on this site has. The trait lives below the ribs, and the default crop of almost every image model is a portrait, so a large share of your generations will not show the thing you asked for. Below: the apps that handle full-body generation and character locking, our verdict on what this category is like to live with, the wardrobe and framing choices that do more work than any body word, and the prompt we would start from.
Top image score of the eight and character locking, the combination that matters most when the shape you want depends on a ratio the model would rather average away.
Matches on image quality at $19.99. A second platform is the cheapest test of whether the waist keeps disappearing because of your prompt or because of the model.
Free tier to iterate on, which counts double here because full-body shots fail more often than portraits and you will throw more of them away.
$12.99 with the strongest memory of the group. The sensible pick if you want the companion to persist and treat the images as occasional rather than central.
Same score band, different model underneath. Different models place hips and waist differently, so this is a genuine alternative rather than a repeat attempt.
In the 8.6 band with a free way in. Worth a pass when full-body generations keep coming back straight-figured everywhere else.
Image score of 9 at $14.99 and the largest character library here, which is the quickest route to a figure you like without fighting a prompt for it.
Image score of 7, the lowest here, and it is not built image-first. Choose it for the conversation, not for a full-body render you intend to keep.
Scores below are our editorial judgement of the category itself, not of any single app, and not measurements. They describe what tends to go right and wrong when you build a thick companion anywhere.
| Criterion | Rating | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Waist-to-hip ratio holding | The core weakness. Models render magnitude, not proportion, so asking for wide hips and a narrow waist in one body usually gets you one or the other. Both tokens have to be present in every prompt, in the same sentence. | |
| The trait being in frame at all | Unique to this category. Portrait crops are the default almost everywhere, so a large share of your images stop at the ribs and show nothing you asked for. Say "full body" or "three-quarter, from mid-thigh up" every single time. | |
| Pose stability | Seated, leaning and over-the-shoulder poses redistribute everything and rarely look like the same body twice. A standing pose with weight on one leg and a slight turn is by far the most repeatable. | |
| What full-body framing costs you | The trade-off nobody mentions. Wide crops spend resolution on the whole figure, so faces lose detail and hands go wrong far more often than in a portrait. Generate the face you want in a portrait first, lock it, then go wide. | |
| Feels distinct | Better than a body type alone usually manages, because the silhouette is genuinely recognisable at a glance. It still reads as a shape rather than a character, so the face, wardrobe and personality have to carry the rest. | |
| Looks good in a scene | Strong, if the wardrobe cooperates. High-waisted, fitted, single-tone clothing makes the ratio legible. Busy prints, loose fabric and long coats erase it completely, whatever the body prompt says. |
We update these as the underlying image models change. If your experience differs, tell us, we would rather correct a page than defend it.
A starting point, not a rule. Unusually for this site, the first setting is not about the body at all, it is about the crop, because the most common failure here is a perfect result you cannot see. Generate a few versions, keep the one whose proportions you want, then lock that character.
| Setting | Suggested value |
|---|---|
| Framing | Put it first in the prompt. "Full body shot" or "three-quarter, from mid-thigh up". Without it you will spend most of your image allowance on portraits that show nothing. |
| Hips and waist together | Write them in one clause: "wide hips and full thighs with a narrow waist". Separated across sentences, the model tends to honour whichever came last. |
| Upper body | Keep it moderate and say so. If the chest is described as full too, the ratio flattens and the result reads as generally larger rather than pear-shaped. |
| Wardrobe | High-waisted and fitted, tucked in, single tone. This does more for the silhouette than any body word. Prints, drapes and layers hide exactly the line you are trying to produce. |
| Pose | Standing, weight on one leg, slight three-quarter turn to camera. It shows the hip line and is the pose that comes back most consistently. |
| Background | Plain and uncluttered. Detailed scenes take rendering effort away from the figure, and the figure is the entire point of a full-body crop. |
| Personality | Decide it before the body. The silhouette is the part the model regenerates and gets wrong; the personality is the part that actually persists across a conversation. |
Prompt to copy
Full body shot. Curvy pear-shaped figure, wide hips and full thighs with a narrow defined waist, moderate bust. Long dark hair, brown eyes. High-waisted black jeans and a fitted plain grey top tucked in. Standing, weight on one leg, slight three-quarter turn to camera. Even soft studio light, plain light grey background. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, correct anatomy, natural proportions.
Four directions the same category can go in. Copy one, paste it into the character builder, and change the parts you disagree with.
The most precise version of the brief, and the one to generate first if you intend to lock a character.
Full body shot. Slim thick figure, narrow waist and flat stomach with wide hips and full thighs. Long dark brown hair. High-waisted dark blue jeans, fitted white t-shirt tucked in, plain trainers. Standing, weight on one leg, slight turn to camera. Soft even studio light, plain pale grey backdrop. Photorealistic, natural skin texture, correct anatomy, sharp focus.
The most stable of the shape words. Nothing stylised, so it survives regeneration better than the others.
Three-quarter body shot from mid-thigh up. Pear-shaped figure, full hips and thighs, narrow waist, average bust. Shoulder-length light brown hair, no makeup. High-waisted beige skirt and a tucked-in black knit top. Standing relaxed by a window. Warm daylight, blurred plain indoor background. Photorealistic, natural skin, unretouched.
Full thighs and glutes with visible muscle. The hardest brief here and the one that most rewards locking early.
Full body shot. Athletic curvy build, muscular thighs and glutes, narrow defined waist, toned shoulders. Dark hair tied back. High-waisted black leggings and a fitted cropped grey top. Standing, three-quarter turn, hands at sides. Hard directional gym lighting, plain dark background. Photorealistic, defined muscle, natural skin texture, correct anatomy.
Deliberately the difficult pose. Generate it last, after the character is locked, because seated poses redistribute everything.
Three-quarter shot. Curvy figure with wide hips and full thighs, narrow waist. Mid-length wavy blonde hair. High-waisted dark green trousers and a fitted cream top tucked in. Seated on a low stool, legs together, turned slightly to camera. Soft warm indoor light, plain background. Photorealistic, natural proportions, correct anatomy, natural skin texture.
Half of these words describe a ratio and half describe a size, and the model does not know which you meant. Picking the wrong one is the usual reason a thick companion comes back either straight-figured or simply larger all over.
| Term | What you actually get |
|---|---|
| Slim thick | The most precise phrase available, because it names both halves of the ratio in two words. The one we would start from. |
| Thick | Understood almost everywhere, but read as a general size increase as often as a ratio. Always pair it with an explicit narrow waist. |
| Thicc | The internet spelling. It behaves as a different token and often pulls the render toward stylised or cartoon output rather than photoreal. Avoid it if you want realism. |
| Pear-shaped | Hips and thighs dominant, chest moderate. The most stable shape word in this list because it implies where the weight is not, as well as where it is. |
| Hourglass | Chest and hips balanced with the waist drawn in. A different silhouette. If the top half matters as much as the bottom, our busty page is closer to what you want. |
| Curvy | The vaguest word here. It splits between chest-led and hip-led results, so it adds volume without telling the model where to put it. |
| Wide hips | Direct and stable, but on its own it widens the whole frame. It only produces the shape you want in the same clause as a narrow waist. |
| Full thighs | Better than "thick thighs", which escalates on each regeneration. "Full" holds closer to where you set it. |
| Narrow waist or defined waist | Not optional. Drop this token and the ratio disappears within one or two generations, every time. |
| Midsize or plus-size | A fuller silhouette overall rather than a ratio. Different category. Our BBW page covers it properly. |
Thick is a ratio: full hips and thighs against a waist that stays narrow, on an otherwise average frame. BBW is a fuller silhouette overall. They need different prompts and they fail in different ways, which is why we keep them on separate pages.
Because the default crop on nearly every image model is a portrait, and this is the only body category whose defining trait sits below the ribs. Put "full body shot" or "three-quarter, from mid-thigh up" at the start of the prompt and keep it there for every generation.
Seated and leaning poses redistribute weight, and the model recalculates the whole figure rather than adapting the one you locked. Build and lock the character standing, then generate seated versions afterwards, and expect a lower hit rate from those.
Usually yes, because it names both sides of the ratio rather than only the full one. "Thick" alone is frequently read as a general size increase, which is how people end up with a body closer to plus-size than to the one they described.
