My bum has sagged/ dropped whatever ageing has done to it but it ain't the same in my jeans anymore!!
Anyone else in the saggy dropped bum club!!??
How do you disguise it?
I wish I could go back and tell the young me stop looking in the mirror and being upset about your sticking out perfect bum!!

Wear jeans with the pockets higher at the back. It gives the illusion of lift 😊 I got some nice ones from missguided although I appreciate people might prefer more expensive brands. The pockets are a bit higher on my bum and it makes it look more rounded. Better trying a few pairs on though and shopping around.

Yes mine is awful. It's actually getting me
Down lately everything I'm putting on I've just no shape. I've been shopping for jeans and been told Levi's are good just expensive (for me anyway)

Yes mine is awful too, it seems to have gone flat, I do think levis are good, I buy mine from the next clearance usually half price. All my m&s jeans I now only wear with bum covering top,

If you can be arsed, squats are a game changer.

Lou22000 · 10/04/2023 19:48

I Evan purchased those bum knickers but found it looked stupid on me. Not feeling the best right now anyway with my body imagine :/

Do some pilates!

You don't have to live with a saggy arse!

I never look at my bum so I don’t care what it looks like. All the back of me is someone else’s problem and if they don’t want to look they don’t have to. Honestly just wear things you like from the front. Your bum will still do its important job of holding your legs together. You are more fabulous than you are giving yourself credit for.

ProstituteHair · 10/04/2023 20:04

I do sort of agree with you @CrapBucket , 'love the body you're in' and all that.

BUT, if you don't, there are things you can do.

lindyloo57 · 10/04/2023 21:02

Do squats really work, I thought you would have to around 100 a day to any good.

They do, as do glute bridges, lunges, donkey kicks and the rest, and the heavier the weights you use the better (if you can access some).

So I suppose my answer to the OPs question is dress in your gym gear 😀.

ProstituteHair · 10/04/2023 21:55

@lindyloo57 of course squats and other exercises work.

It is absolutely a choice. Do the work or don't.

I bloody hate donkey kicks @SocksAndTheCity, but I still do them!

But don't moan about your arse if you don't.

lindyloo57 · 10/04/2023 22:19

Its just a while ago I did 40 squats a day for around 4 weeks and noticed nothing, I suppose I should of done it for a lot longer than that.

ProstituteHair · 10/04/2023 22:31

Really @lindyloo57?

What's your general shape? Were you doing the squats properly?

40 squats a day for a month should have some affect.

I wouldn't recommend it as a plan, but there should have been noticeable change!

lindyloo57 · 10/04/2023 22:39

My shape I'm slim 9 stone at 5ft 2 age 62, since going through the menopause it seems to be disappearing, my bum gets smaller my boobs get bigger, wish it was the other way round.

mackthepony · 11/04/2023 02:43

No way I can face 100 squats every day

A flat bum is a uniquely British female thing. Looks like a spade basically

My tits hang over my spare tyre, my spare tyre hangs over my belly, my belly hangs over my fanny.
If I could see my own arse that would tip me right over the edge.
😉😁

Get to the gym! It's because you've lost muscle mass.
