Bum pads are simply padded panties used to enhance the buttocks and give a rounded silhouette. They are usually invisible underneath clothes and some of them also provide tummy control. Bum pads are a cheaper alternative to achieving the bootylicious look, which many women are under intense pressure to have. You have the option to put on the bum pads when you want and take it off when you do not need it. You do not have to go under the knife and it is relatively cheap to own a one.

Bum pads have become really popular in the last couple of years, this could be due to the fact that we have some well endowed women in the showbiz world today. The likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj will make most of us women green with envy and want to achieve the bootylicious look.

Another reason why bum pads have become so popular in this generation is because women have realised some pieces will need a nice rounded bum to look good. Pieces like jeggings, mini skirts, pencil skirts, leggings, skinny jeans will look better with a bit of a bum.

If you do decide you need one, it is best to go for a comfortable one that gives the enhanced bum a natural look. Like this black padded bum booster by Debenhams
