- Did you think this was my butt?
- I did, I
- Oh shit! Oh my God guys.
It's butt padding underwear, because I want a bigger butt.
(laughing)
(energetic music)
I really wanted to try out some butt enhancing
and butt shaping underwear.
I'm a petite girl, a little bit of curves
to go with my little body, but would like
a little more junk back here.
I personally have always associated
curviness with womanliness.
Curves are celebrated, whether it's
the black icons who I grew up with,
♫ Two or three times in a row,
♫ Such a funny thing for me to try explain
or the music videos that I watched.
♫ Girl, I think my butt getting big, oh!
Having a nice big round booty, that's everything.
If a butt pad underwear did exist when I was growing up,
I definitely would've tried them out too.
Now as an adult, I get my chance to, and I'm really excited.
These are the BubbleBuns.
These have a nice cut, they actually look
just like underwear. The foam insert,
sort of like that material that would be
in like one of those neck pillows.
I don't know, the foam is definitely giving
more lift and perkiness.
Its sort of like a modest big little booty.
Just hopped out the shower, about to get dressed.
So you can see from the front,
it's business as usual, and then from the back,
I got a little ledge situation going on.
I'm on my way to the spa, I'm about to walk up
to my friend Khwezi, who doesn't know
that I'm wearing these new butt pad underwears,
so let's see how she responds.
What did you just say? Do you like my butt?
- Oh my God, come here, I want to feel it.
Oh my God, big booty jean
(laughs)
- I would say those butt pads were a success.
The only thing though was that the sizing
was totally off, I think that was
like a kid's size, it was squeezing the life
out of my lady parts.
Overall positive experience, it felt firm
and muscular, which was pretty cool,
it didn't feel like cartoon-ish.
I'm really looking forward to trying this one out.
And it actually looks like underwear.
This is cute, I have a feeling this one's gonna work out.
Oh my God (laughs) Okay.
Yup, these definitely gave me a bigger ass. (laughs)
But when I turn, that's where the surprise is at.
So I'm going to a day party where there's
gonna be lots of dancing, so I decided
to try out this number.
It doesn't have any inserts,
but it does have a shape, y'all can see.
And I'm about to go to a dance party,
curious if he's gonna know, so let's go find out.
So you think you're gonna know
when I'm wearing the booty underwear?
- Yeah. I know your butt. I am very confident.
(laughs)
- Nice it's
- Feels like a big pillow
(woman laughs)
If I didn't know you beforehand,
I would think it was natural.
- It's not really shaking (laughs)
I think it'll work. Let's try this baby out in real life.
I am back from the dance party, with a lot of grinding.
I was real nervous nervous at first
because I felt like such a fraud,
and I thought someone was just gonna
point at me and just be like
y'all, this girl's wearing a fake butt.
One of the dudes that came up
I'm just like winding my way
I told him, I'm wearing butt pads
for this story, and he was like,
oh no, I can't tell, two thumbs up. (laughs)
You're worried that they're gonna notice,
dude didn't notice.
The final verdict, drumroll please.
If I had to choose between these foam ones
that I wore to the spa, or the preformed shape ones,
that I wore out dancing,
I would definitely go with the preshaped form ones
I just like how curvy and round it made my booty.
Overall, I'm a rock with my natural booty.
I'm just gonna work on toning my butt.
To each their own.
We have these ideal images of what we want
our body to look like.
Wearing the butt pads gave me a really great chance
to find out what the grass is like on the other side.
And it wasn't necessarily greener.
If I could go back to my 16 year old self,
you know the girl who thought she was too skinny
or wasn't curvy enough,
I would let her know don't worry,
you're gonna become so much more confident
in the skin you're in.
You might think you want something different,
but it'll likely turn out that you're just more comfortable
with what you have.
