Rounderbum Men's Boxer Briefs - Anatomic Tech Mini Trunk Underwear | Breathable Cotton Shapewear for Comfort & Support | Perfect for Workout, Travel & Everyday Wear

I was worried. I was suggested by two people these would be a good buy if I want a "lifted" butt. I have a decent ass, but I was like, "Do they make underwear to lift your butt? Like a push-up bra for your butt?" I looked around, but honestly it isn't as much of a thing as I thought it would be! Anyway, a couple people recommended "Rounderbum" so I looked it up and found these.My immediate thought: These would look SO fake! Then I started looking at the reviews and what not, and quite frankly.... the images in the reviews look a bit fake. I then was like "Well worst case scenario, I can just take the padding out and wear them like normal underwear."Quality: Decent quality. They seem well-made. I haven't even washed them yet (only 1 wear) so not sure how they hold up, but I like the material. It's soft.Build: Ehhhh... Goes downhill starting there. They feel fine in the front, however the rear dips down quite a bit. I don't know if it's from the padding or what, but the rear feels "lower" than the front. It's making me want to pull up the underwear in the rear. You know how a lot of jock straps feel low in the front? This is the opposite. It feels low in the rear.Not a fan of the fact that there's no slit in the underwear for bathroom purposes. I prefer the slit, but a lot of underwear is slitless now, so meh.As for the padding... I don't know. They look *ok* when you just put the underwear on, no pants. I then put on some slacks I wear to work, you can't really see the padding, but the way the padding sits on your butt isn't the best for me at least. The padding is less bulky than I was expecting (which is a good thing!) however they sit a bit too far up for my liking. I get they're supposed to give you a lifted look, but it can look a bit awkward when they're too far up. Especially when you're constantly trying to pull them up because they don't fit well in the rear. I think if you're someone that plans on wearing these with bulkier pants like jeans you won't have an issue. I don't wear skin-tight clothing, but I don't know if these would be ideal for anything skin-tight. Slacks are questionable. I don't think anyone would think you were wearing butt pads, but it doesn't exactly look natural if you really look at it.Price: $35 for a pair of underwear is a bit much. These are nice construction, but nothing revolutionary. I wish they fit a bit better, but even that aside, $35 is steep. I can see paying a bit more for something you can wear multiple times before washing, but I'm not going to re-wear underwear without washing them. If you plan on making these the only underwear you wear (for consistency purposes lol) that can get expensive unless you do laundry every day.Overall, I don't regret buying them, they're interesting, they're fun... But these aren't going to be replacing my usual undies anytime soon. They don't give me the lift I was hoping. These are more for the padding than actual lifting.
