10 Problems Only Girls With Big Butts Understand

You got a big butt and you cannot lie! From shopping for jeans to being catcalled on the streets, the junk in your trunk comes with a lot of baggage. However, no matter how many of these problems you face on the daily, it’s an asset that should be embraced. If you’re a part of the big butt club, you’ve experienced at least one, if not all of these problems. Big booty women know the struggle is real!

1. Dresses fit perfectly on top but end up micro-mini on the bottom.

 

You look in the mirror thinking this isn’t so bad then you turn around and your whole butt is hanging out. Don't even think about bending over! If you drop something, leave it there unless you want to treat everyone around you to a peep show.

2. Finding rompers that fit correctly is a nightmare.

 

Like dresses, it’s almost impossible to find rompers that fit your top and cover your entire butt. Rompers are the recipe for wedgies but you deal with it because this is your norm.

 

If rompers are discouraging, try one of these skirts instead. Then, you'll look as good as the Orange Is The New Black star, Dascha Polanco.

3. Shopping for shorts is the worst.

 

Anything called “shortie” will never do unless you’re going for the extra-cheeky look. Sun’s out, buns out! You can't help it!

4. You buy jeans that are too big for your waist because you need the next size up to fit your butt.

 

Belts are and will always be your BFF.

5. You’ve lost hours of your life trying to pull up jeans over your thighs and butt.

 

And you’ve most likely gotten yourself stuck in jeans while trying them on in the dressing room.

6. You’ve ripped at least one pair of jeans.

 

If not multiple pairs… Hopefully, they weren’t your favorite but try not to get too attached because you never know when they’re going to split. Fingers crossed not in public!

7. Seeing your butt through your leggings is inevitable.

 

Leggings look fine on your legs but it's likely you can see your underwear and butt cheeks as clear as day. You might as well not be wearing pants at all but isn’t that the point of leggings anyway?

8. Bathing suit bottoms are basically thongs.

 

Everyone is buying thong bikinis this summer but you don't have to. Your bathing suit bottoms have been cheeky your whole life. At least now it’s on trend!

9. Your butt draws a lot of attention.

 

Sometimes this isn’t such a bad thing but other times it's extremely uncomfortable like when catcallers take your butt as an invitation to make more unwanted comments. The next time you feel embarrassed about your butt, channel your inner J. Lo and own it!

10. You can’t complain about your butt without people telling you that they wish they had it.

 

They say you always want what you can’t have but little do they know that it’s not as glamourous as it seems. You can’t blame them because they just don’t understand your struggles. Take it as a compliment and keep flaunting what your mama gave you! If you’re stuck with it, you might as well learn to love it!
