Hips, Hip Pads made or bought

[Wynta]

Hi Glenda there are a few fairly cheap padded hips on Ebay that don’t look to bad. Or head on down to Clark Rubber buy some foam & make your own . But yes if you want confort & real looks better save your pennies gurl .
Here are a few links to some i found on Ebay.

Hi Glenda

The rolls royce of hips/bottom pads are made by classic curves Espy at http://www.clcrv.com.

I use much cheaper ones from Glamour Boutique with extra pads to try and balance out my shoulders. That’s David at http://www.glamourboutique.com. He provides the additional pads too.

In MHO these are essential for a male to get a reasonably femme figure and to fill out female clothes.

Hi, just to let you know that the main difference in costs are postage (I include it) and exchange rate. I hope this doesn’t breach the code!?

Hi,

I have no hips or bum, so I think I’ve tried just about every option for hip padding & here’s my quick summary:

Veronicas are the quickest, easiest to put on & the most realistic. Easily one of the best options. However, I find the silicon pads don’t quite stay in place as well as the foam pads, although the extra weight can really help with your walk. I also don’t enjoy the extra layer of underwear that you are effectively wearing. Still my most used option though. In case you’re curious (as I was) the silicon pads cannot be stuck on & this will damage the pads quite significantly so best not to try it… 😳

I’ve recently tried the stick-on silicon pads from Glamour Boutique & these are brilliant for making panties fit across the hips in just the right way. If I’m dressing for a couple of days, these can be fastened with Medical Adhesive & stay on for days. Whilst they give you width across the hips, they don’t add any dimension to the rear. I generally have no no bum so that’s the weakness of these, although the feeling of just wearing a pair of panties under my dress feels far more natural & how I prefer. For me (I’m a Ladies 12/M without padding), I needed the larger pads to really give the effect I was after to balance my shoulders.

The padded panties from I Love My Bubbles are great too, but are designed for women so you’d need wider hips otherwise they won’t fit very well at all. In combination with the stick-on pads, they can work very well although once again there’s that extra layer of underwear I don’t enjoy quite so much.

The Femskin pads are very difficult to maneuver & attach correctly. You can only use their glue & I really didn’t like the way that attached. I won’t try these again and they made for an expensive bin night.

The cheaper La Curvi panties are also good for a subtle extra projection at the rear, but the effect is quite minor. I haven’t tried the all around padded panties as the Veronicas just do the job so well.

I do hope that helps some of you, although with all of our different body shapes you may find a different solution.

Hi I have actually been looking into this the past week or so. What a coincidence haha. I think the best option would be to tailor it to myself but I dont have the means to get foam.

Anyways, my question… as a cheap and temporary solution, do you ladies think its possible to use the padding from padded bras as but/hip pads for now?

[Catherine]

Hi Sylvia,

If you have a Clarksons Rubber, Spotlight or Lyncraft , or for that matter any haberdashery shop nearby, you can get foam or padding inserts respectively from those out lets. In answer to your question though, I have no idea if your suggestion will work.

hip pads there are a few problums with them they look great but yes the bathroom is one but the heat to trying to keep cool and the movement of the pads all not good when it all moves

i have been looking at form fit under wear useing pads and stitching them into place that seems to hold well and you dont need as much as the form wear hugs your body and you drop a size

this takes a little work to make the shape to your body the right size we dont want to have our butts to big

this is still work in progess but may be the answer to this at a cheep cost

Thanks for the replies. I did try Clark Rubber and Lincraft, whom both said they dont supply foam. The closest spotlight is too far away so Im looking at going to ‘The Foam Booth’. My issue is that I dont know which type of foam to buy and the product for it. Any ideas or suggestions?

So… I even tried the foam booth and they don’t have (poly) urethane foam for hip pads. Any other ideas where I could find the material for hip pads in Sydney?

Hi Katie,

I’m surprised Clarksons didn’t come to the party. Their Erina store, and others I’ve been to have copious quantities for a vast range of foam in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. They will cut to your desired size but will not mould for you. You can do that at home with a Stanley knife.

Lyncraft should have in the haberdashery section a variety of shoulder pads that can double as hip/bottom pads.

What type of foam are you asking for?

Best wishes

Kate,

Years and years ago when I felt I had need of padding I went to The Foam Booth. I told them I was making theatrical costumes and wanted some foam to pad out an outfit. What they sold me was pretty perfect for the job – though the first time I ordered too thin a sheet. As Catherine says you sculpt it (and your fingers) with a craft knife blade – so starting too thick doesn’t make any real difference.

Instead of padded bras the foam shoulder pads in some older style dresses arent too bad for a temporary fix but they are very soft and sometimes dont sit right after you have sat down for a while.

I have been an advocate of padding for a long time. I have a similar problem, no bum, no hips and it became so obvious when wearing a straight fitted dress or skirt. I experimented with various form of padding and eventually, as was mentioned, visited a foam rubber establishment. I did find the best way to cut was with an electric carving knife. I had noted that this was what the people in the shop used.
But I think it should be said that padding should be added to the bum as well as the hips to get the desired ‘pear-shape’. If you look at a woman’s silhouette it will be noted the hips are usually close to the width of the shoulders, I say usually but of course these vary from person to person. Often an obese woman will have seemingly narrow hips compared to the shoulders as will a female athlete.
To add to the curves a decent corset should be considered as well, depending on the garment of course. A girl friend and I went out to dinner one evening in Melbourne and I had just acquired padding and a corset and she said how effective it looked which was one of the best compliments I could have received.
The downside, there had to be one, was that the pressure on my mid region meant after a while I became uncomfortable and couldn’t wait to get home to get the bloody thing off!!!
I have been assured by habitual corset wearers that, with continual wearing, it becomes less trying.
