Now speaking directly to those of you who were adults the first time low rise jeans were a thing, according to Urban Dictionary, a thirst trap is a “sexy photograph or flirty message posted on social media.” Some definitions argue that thirst traps are inherently attention-seeking, referring to a user's “thirst" as a colloquialism likening sexual frustration to dehydration. Or simply that the goal is to motivate likes and slides in the DM. To those people we say, ummm… yeah, and what about it?
Despite misconceptions, there’s nothing nonchalant about setting up a thirst trap, well unless you’re Megan Thee Stallion or Kylie Jenner, both of whom know there’s an art to creating a viral, jaw-dropping moment. Much thought goes into every take - the pose, the background, the wardrobe (or lack there of), the caption - everything must come together perfectly to entice what we’re ultimately all after - Thirst! Oh, and likes of course, duh.
While celebs don’t need or reserve any particular day of the week to share their thirst inducing pics with the masses, there’s something nice about devoting this particular day of the week to show off your assets (insert winky face emoji).
But since IG’s algorithm doesn’t even care what day it is when you see a pic on your feed, we’ll settle with simply using the day to present you with a collection, of what in our expert opinion are some of this weeks top tier thirst traps. And when we say week we of course mean starting the Friday right after through the following Thursday (also known as Today).
So without further ado, in no particular order - the traps have been set below.
Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian
First things first — THIS. Clearly, these two woke up and chose sexy, but what’s new. Seriously tho.. WE ARE STILL NOT OKAY.
Miley Cyrus
Can we talk about these Miley Cyrus Summerfest action shots, actually better yet, let’s just stare at them. But for realz, Miley posted a whole series and we’re still left wanting more.
Rihanna
We're simply not worthy. Also - reminder that the Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 drops tomorrow on Amazon Prime!
SZA
Weird flex but — JUST KIDDING. She bendy and that bawdy! Also - we've never zoomed in so hard, like EVER.
Avril Lavigne
Here for this subtle sexy summertime photo series. Swipe for some underboob.

It might be the start of Fall, but covering up is thankfully NOT on the agenda.
