It looks like big bums are the in thing in Australia at the moment, with flat bottomed women buying up padded underwear to enhance their backsides. Jenny Tew, who designs and sells the garments from her lingerie shop in Cabramatta, said the padded undies are doing a brisk sale.
Theyre very popular. Everyone who walks past and sees it buys it, especially skinny people and Asian people because most of us have flat bums, the Daily Telegraph quoted the Kimarie shop owner as saying.
We dont sell many to European women because theyve got big bums already, she stated. Tew, who came to Australia from Cambodia, made the first pair of padded underpants in 2006 after receiving so many requests from local customers for bigger bums.
She said she sells about 1500 pairs of the pants, that add up to 4cm to flat backsides, a year. On party nights, I will wear them. They make so much difference, Tew said.
One customer from Liverpool, who asked not to be named, said she bought a pair last year after seeing them in the shop window.
It was new and I wanted to try them because I wanted to know if they worked, said the 30-year-old Vietnamese woman. Yeah, they give me more volume and look good with jeans, she added.
Butt-enhancing pants may have taken suburbs by storm but a Myer department store spokeswoman said padded panties from a French label had not taken off.
May I be the first to say.
This thread is worthless without pics.

TTIWWP ;o)
Great timing. They’re producing padded underwear just as we are worried about airline bombers with explosives in their underwear. “Excuse me, you need to go with our inspector to the private room, your panties appear to be larger than normal.”
I don’t want to know what kind of undies they’re making for the guys.
There’s an Aussie term for men’s swimwear: “budgie smugglers.” I thought it was something like cargo pants, with lots of pockets, but nooo...
Called the “Mortadella Codpiece model”.
“Do these make my butt look big? They do? Good!”
Might be a big seller elsewhere...here...not so much.
Ha! I was always ashamed of my backside I used to hide it with big sweaters now I am glad mine are natural and flaunt it ;D
This is why I do deadlifts, squats, lunges, and back extensions with some serious poundages. Keeps my female, middle age backside round with muscle rather than flat with fat :-D. I agree with your gym comment!!!! Works wonders.
women’s panties may not be the best thing, but they’re real close
In Britain, they are called “plum smugglers”.
For obvious reasons.

In other news -- they've finally invented pants that intentionally make your butt look bigger than it really is!
