Stuff 126: Hippie

Of An Age?

By J. J. Atwell

I’m of an age when hippies roamed the land freely. I suspect most of you are a bit younger than I am, but either way, it really doesn’t matter for this installment of Stuff. I just used that image, created by ChatGPT, to get your attention and lead you to the real point of today’s Stuff.

Getting To The Bottom

We all know that to dress like a woman, we need to (f)emulate a woman’s shape. To be up front about it, my immediate thought goes first to boobs. Yes, that was a pun. I love them. Yes, puns too.

But I’ve covered boobs in several previous installments, so today I’d like to get to the bottom of things and talk about how to simulate hips and a butt to achieve a better femme figure.

In what would have been Stuff #19, which Stana published on November 22, 2023, I talked about Stuff-ing. It was appropriately titled because it appeared right around Thanksgiving. In that installment, I mentioned a few options for hips and butts. Perhaps it’s time to review and revise. So that you don’t have to search for that issue, I’ll quote the applicable parts here:

…some have had good success with oval foam pads on the side and back inserted into their underwear. There are also padded panties that can be bought from many outlets, which are typically padded with foam rubber.

The most realistic hip and bum padding seems to be made of silicone and shaped to enhance the hips and wrap around to the back to enhance the bum. They feel natural and warm up to body temperature. However, they are surprisingly heavy and require a firm undergarment to hold them in place.

Still True?

Yes, I do think this is a good way to get that femme-shaped lower body. In terms of cost, oval foam pads are pretty inexpensive and give a good result. A quick search on Amazon will give you options for under $25. For a bit more, you can find an entire garment with the pads built in as well. If you go that route, be sure the pads are removable for washing.

Keep in mind that your outer clothing might have an impact on what you use. Simple foam pads are fine for loose skirts. But a pencil skirt or tights will look better with hip pads that extend down along the leg, almost to the knee. And your bum will probably need filling out as well. Here again, you can find a complete solution on Amazon for a reasonable price.

What about those expensive silicone pads you see advertised on some of the sites that cater to the CD community? I’ve got a set. They rest comfortably in their foam-lined box, hardly ever getting out.

I manage to get the right look with simpler, less expensive alternatives. The advantage of those silicone pads is that they are lifelike to the touch. I don’t know about you, but I’m not expecting anybody but me to be touching my girly hips or butt! But if that’s important to you, then by all means, go ahead with them.

Just realize, as I mentioned in my original article, that they are heavy and will tend to slide down unless constrained by a tight, long-legged panty — and perhaps some adhesive as well.
