    Dizzy HELP: Tanning Bed Mystery

    So I started a tanning bed regimen again to get some color during these cold days of fall. After my second session I noticed that the whale-tail region of my booty had an eerie halo of pale, untanned skin. The region I'm talking about is what can be crudely called the upper-butt-crack. See illustration:



    Basically it's an oval shape of pale skin beginning about 2 inches above the beginnings of butt-cleavage and descending down nearly as low. It's a hazy, diffused, oval centered perfectly on my ass. WTF!?!?!?

    In NJ I noticed a dancer, who was very tan had a similar feature... the contrast was very noticeable. I just assumed it was from tanning in a thong (which I do not do) or due to a hereditary skin discoloration of some sort. Since this never happened to me before I am a bit miffed.

    I know I put lotion very evenly on my booty. I have tanned before. It looks too perfect to be a fungus or something. I don't wear undies in the tanning bed. What gives???

    Halp.

    I've not really heard of that before. The only thing I can think is when you lay down, if your back is very arched right there, maybe it's not getting the same amount of light as the other areas.

    I'd try a different type of bed to see if you have the same problem, specifically one of the stand up tanning beds.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    I totally used to get that! It's just a pressure spot from lying down on your back in the bed. When you lie on the same spot like that the blood flow is reduced and the area doesn't tan.

    I prefer lay down beds, so I have a routine now....it's kind of hard to describe though. I start flat on my back, then lift up either side of my body for a minute at a time, so I'm kind of lying at an angle. Some people actually rotate right onto their sides and stomachs as well.

    Or, a stand up would solve the problem as well.

    It's called the bunny tail. It's right where your tail bone is, right? If you have a bony one like I do, with not a lot of fat covering it...when you lay down, it presses hard against the bed, shading it from the uvs.

    Wouldn't this just give the illusion of a bigger ass, and therefore be a good thing?

    You have to switch positions on the tanning bed so this won't happen. three minutes on your belly, three on your left side, three on your right side and three on your back. It is a pressure point. Wait until you get really dark and in between your ass is white! Then you will have to start spreading cheeks and sitting on the edge of the bed.

    Ugh, yes. I'm always respreading my cheeks in the bed, lol! That and trying to keep my legs bent to avoid the "ass smiles", the white lines at the bottom of the ass and top of the thigh.

    Bunny tail!!! Hahahaha!

    Yeah its centered on the tail bone. But I'm confused.... if it's caused by some uv shade wouldn't a bony butt have less to shade with?
