I tried the glue once in my teens ,it held through the evening and into the hangover bathroom trips were okay in seated mode. The glue residue came off after a long tub soak, as for comfort i was heavily sedated so i couldn`t say for certain. To put that in perspective about the same time i tried sharpie markers for eyeliner ,really brought out the reds in the whites of my eyes. The maxi pad works to flatten the bulge in too tight pants, or if you d just tried the razor blade ,which really hurt even with the drugs . Now as im older sober and saner i go with the shaper panties , the ones i wear have a thiner material in the rear an sort of pockets to shape and lift my butt . I also have used a thong type gaff with adjustments like a bra strap on the sideslooks great but(t) feels like it could amputate at the first wrong(right) step . I remember something about a hot iron in the Marquis de Sade`s 120 days of Sodom but i don`t know where you can find a blacksmith these days. Nicki
