I could find no product that fit my specific need. Opted to return the item and try shopping again in the future. No issue with the service!
I'm 68 yo and my body composition has changed with age. I exercise regularly and recently lost 15 lbs. -- I had gained weight due to Rx drugs and discovery I am pre-diabetic -- so I made life changes. In spite of exercises to enhance body shape, the loss of fat and age related tissue degradation leave me with a rather flat butt. When I pull on leggings, they eventually droop and sag and in the rear, necessitating a belt to hold them up. I had hoped the Behind The Seams Padded Highwaist Boxer Panty/Pad Item #9049-N would smooth my middle and add a bit of puff to my rear area. I found the high waist section did not have much if any compression. The butt pads were small, set rather awkwardly in the panty, and did not add any true shaping. Maybe I was expecting too much, but this item did not address any of my needs. Note: I wear a size 6 pant, so don't presume I am excessively over weight. But I do suffer from a larger waist area than desired -- middle age spread, post menopausal, loss of muscle tone following multiple pregnancies!

I've been a customer for a long time, I've bought many items but have loved the foam bootie pads,...
This product has left me extremely disappointed. I bought it twice, hoping it would get better,...
Dear Barbara, We have sent an email to hopefully resolve this issue for you, and we are looking forward to speaking with you. In the event that you did not receive our email, we would like to post our reply here and also for the benefit of others who may be looking for the perfect padded shaper for themselves!
As you noted, the Behind the Seams does have a specific design, with narrower oval padding positioned higher on the backside. This will work for some, but not for everyone (similar to how we all like different styles of bras)! Based on the information you have provided in your feedback, we feel that a style with round padding that sits a bit lower on the body may address your needs better.
Many of our padded products include our round, wider pads (as compared to the narrower Behind The Seams oval pads), that provide a very subtle boost. If you want to see a more significant boost, we recommend adding the optional thicker foam and/or silicone as these will be more noticeable as compared to the thin foam.
Regarding compression, most of these garments are meant to fit snug and provide a moderate level of compression. For your needs, I recommend a product that reaches over the belly with Moderate to Strong control and round pads.
Below I have provided you a couple of specific recommendations for your review:
*Retro Diamond Highrise Padded Panty (has moderate to strong waist control and round, wider padding)- http://www.lovemybubbles.com/padded-panty-retro-diamond-highrise.shtml
*Victorian Bodysuit (has very strong control throughout the midsection and round, wider padding) - http://www.lovemybubbles.com/padded-bodysuit-butt-booster.shtml
I hope this has been helpful. After review, if you have any further questions or need help with a return/exchange please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you and we hope you have a wonderful New Year!
