Pad Like A Pro – Bum/Hip Pads
Bum and Hip pads are very similar as they’re both used to increase the apparent size of hips and bum to increase the hip to waist ratio. In other words, the wider the hips, the smaller the waist, i.e. proportionising. Most drag artists make their own from sponge as this allows them to fit and personalise them to their specific body type. However, creating pads is a tedious job and is very time-consuming. You can also buy silicone pads from the shops linked below if you prefer.
Bum and Hip padding costs vary between £25 to £218. Their difference in price range is due to the quality of their material being either sponge or silicone and the padding size.
You can buy bum and hip pads at Queerks and The Drag Queen Closet.
