Tried a butt pad

[Larisa]

I tried a butt pad but the problem is Id have to like buy 3 or 4 sets to get that butt Id hopefully get with hormones. It gets expensive paying 13 dollars 3 or 4 times. It's not that I can't afford it ofcourse, it's just is it worth it or just should I wait till I get on hormones. I do like how they look natural like no one can tell but Im not sure if it's worth it.

While I have not tried a butt pad, I have made similar experiences with breast forms and wigs. Before starting HRT I would wear breast forms almost every day. Once I started, I have worn them exactly once about 2 month in for a specific look. Never again since and I finally got rid of them.
Now recently I have to admit HRT did not give me the chest I want, so I have resorted to chiclets for a bit better cleavage. And I have a feel they will be around for a while. But then: Many small chested women do that.

Wigs have been even worse. I had three pair. I have only worn one outside and never liked it much. My hair is finally long enough that I won't need those anymore.

Back to your thought: I do believe it would be perfectly fine to use wear those until you naturally reach the result you are looking for. Nothing to feel bad about.

Hi, Larisa

I'm not sure I understood you correctly—are you saying that you'd need to layer three or four pad sets to get the shape you want? If so, I think that might be uncomfortable.

As for whether using padding is worth it or not—well, if it gives the shape you want to fit an occasion and you can afford it, why not. After all, that's why foundation garments exist. If women didn't buy them, they wouldn't be made.

(Actually men do use padding too, at least when they wear good suits. It's just hidden in the garment itself. They just don't seem to get the idea of wearing it separately. One foundation wear designer I know was honestly surprised and puzzled when her husband balked at her suggestion to wear padded thigh longs to improve his lower silhouette...)

So glad I took buying it one set of pads at a time! I can actually wear them without anyone noticing and I tried it out and it's not really as uncomfortable as I thought it might be. 3 in each side brings out a figure I hope I get when I get on estrogen!! Atleast I have this for now which is way better than nothing!!!
