Would you call this tailbone?

[Leslieslsa]

I know it is hard to tell on another person, but I am having a hard time myself. Would you say this looks like tailbone?!

I would say that if your hair touches the seat of a chair when you sit down then yes it is tailbone. It looks tailbone to me but I can't be sure. It looks lovely though, luxuriant!

Well in that case I think I have about an inch to go! :(

If i try that i'm a inch past tb not the same on everyone.

[Leslieslsa]

bunzfan, I agree. And that is what makes it so confusing. I know I am past BCL.

In that case your virtually there :D i can just feel mine but i'm super skinny have you tried to see if you can feel it?

Sorry to jump in here, but what exactly is BCL? Butt-crack length? ;)

[nakima]

jupiterinleo yes bcl is butt crack length :) that being said when I sit my tailbone is abt an inch or so from chair and Lesliesla your hair length looks like tailbone to me. Congratulations!

Tailbone length is the end of your spine IIRC.Just grab your ass until you find it,you can feel the bone and it's pretty much unmistakable.

I love all the laughs I get here. I have been learning how to keep the unexpected laughs quiet because I usually am on here when my kiddos are sleeping. I remember the first few times I busted out laughing I woke my baby I was trying to rock to sleep. Oops.

Leslieslsa, I'd say you're there, but that is one of the tougher markers to call for sure :) If not, you most definitely will be in a month!

[spidermom]

Push your index finger through the ends of your hair. Do you feel your tailbone?

Lol oh my... brutal truth at its finest.

To OP: It certainly looks close (based on other pictures youve shown on LHC. The one in the first post in this thread is taken at a pretty strange angle) but real TBL is difficult for others to decide, due to its... location. Usually I just see hair that reaches mid-rear and think: "yeah, tailbone" even though its probably not always completely accurate.

I think sometimes we just have to get naked to determine these things. Tonight I realized I'm 1 inch past APL because I never looked at the back of my head without a shirt on. If you have to, just put a spot on your tailbone with a marker and then check it in the mirror. :)
