I've mentioned before that I'm a little too skinny, but I also happen to have a big butt. It's not even that big, but it's definitely noticeable to me. I wouldn't trade my butt for the world, but there are definitely some problems that come with a big butt that I could go without. Here are fourteen problems girls with big butts understand:
1. Passing through thin spaces
Small spaces are the enemy, especially when they're at butt-level. No matter how much you try to suck it in, it just doesn't work. Sometime's it's just easier to press yourself against the wall voluntarily instead of trying to look like you're not struggling.
2. Trying to find jeans that fit
Because even though your thighs may be one size, you also need to account for the space your butt takes up, and if your waist is skinny, you need to find a pair that kinda tucks back in again so you don't have to deal with that awkward back-flap thing.
3. Trying to get into those jeans
Even though they fit, it's still a struggle to put them on. You just need to get them over your butt — then after squatting a few times — grabbing onto the belt loops, jumping up and down, and wiggling a lot, you're good to go!
4. The jeans never fitting anyway
We all know there's no such thing as a perfect pair of jeans, so let's just throw on our trusty leggings (since they make our butts look glorious anyway).
5. Always getting wedgies
No matter the underwear you wear, you know that it's not gonna stay the way you put it on, so you might as well go commando or with a thong. And let's not get started on the wedgies you get with shorts.
6. Skirts/Dresses instantly being shorter
Our butts automatically lift hemlines up, so we need to buy dresses and skirts in a size larger just in case, but then they fall off our waists! I usually don't mind them being just a bit shorter, but the bigger the butt, the bigger the problem.
7. The bottom of your butt always peeking out of your shorts
I mentioned before how we always get wedgies in shorts. Most of the time, my entire butt doesn't fit into my flirty little short shorts, so instead of things being cheeky, things get CHEEKY. I have so much fun avoiding cat callers! (Not.)
8. Feeling like you have a second pair of boobs
When you run up and down stairs, you never know if you should be holding your boobs or your butt. Seriously, everything bounces in all different directions. It gets heavy!
9. Riding bikes
More wedgies! Your butt going completely numb! Having to stop every five seconds to give your behind a breather! Feeling bruises on your butt bones for the next week! When I take spin classes, I actually look forward to spinning out of the saddle.
10. Seat trouble
Sitting on stools are fun because your butt spills everywhere! So are leather seats, wooden seats and toilets! You name a type of chair, we have trouble with it.
11. Always being asked if you do squats
Yes, but that's not why I have a beautiful butt.
12. Lower back pain
After years of having inexplicable lower back pain, I found out that it has to do with my butt! We have a lot to carry around back there. Because of the way humans walk, our butts are in the center of the action. Check out more information here!
13. People accidentally touching your butt when touching your lower back
Yes, I know, it gets in the way, but it's kind of uncomfortable when people touch your lower back when hugging you and end up grazing the top of your butt.
14. People always accidentally touching your butt in general
I completely understand that my butt gets in the way, and sometimes it is difficult to avoid. But if you touch my butt without asking and it is not an accident, run.
Even with these problems, I still love my big butt!
