“Wish Granted!”

Jaime Q.
11/20/17

This company is like a magical genie that grants you curves! I've always been a 5'4 petite girl with very large breasts. I felt like I didn't look "balanced". I have a booty, it's just not big enough to counterbalance my top heavy assets. I've ordered from this company on many occasions and they never fail to satisfy me. My most recent order is amazing! (Hip to butt padded boy shorts) It looks very natural and seamlessly curvy. I will be back for more granted wishes!

“Not a good fit”

Theresa C.
9/20/17

Had a weird fit. Waist band was really small for the size ordered and bottom corners of panty did not form lay flat to buttocks, returned to exchange item for another style. Also, paid for two day shipping and storm hit Florida where their distribution center was apparently located, so I didn't get my order on time as paid for and needed.

Unfortunately i will not be making anymore orders as i was charged an extra £13 to obtain my order from the Royal mail post office. On principal this will stop me from making further orders. Thankyou for your quick response.It was also beautifully wrapped.

I've been a customer for a long time, I've bought many items but have loved the foam bootie pads, at least until recently. They have changed the foam and now they don't last. The foam isn't thick so if you wear tight pants they just flatten right out, if you use them a week there is no shape left in them. Go back to your old foam so they can withstand being sat on and regain there shape.

Tip for consumers:
The foam don't last and the silicone is way too heavy

Products used:
Foam bootie pads

Hi Becky, We've taken a look at your orders - thanks for shopping with us for so long :) We notice that you haven't contacted us directly - we'd love to have the opportunity to take a look at your recent order with you. Please contact our customer service at 800-401-5811 or https://www.lovemybubbles.com/contact.shtml so we can address your feedback.

If we don't get the chance to speak with you, we would like to assure your that the pads you are buying have not changed in quality or material. We do notice that your first order contained a thicker pad style. Regarding pads made of foam, please note that we design our foam to be soft to the touch so they mold well to the body. We use different types of polyurethane foam for our different foam pad styles, all of which have different properties - some softer than others. And we can certainly understand that softer foam could compress when worn with very tights pants. It doesn't look like you have ordered silicone pads from Bubbles in the past, so we'd like to point you toward our Lite Silicone - a silicone that is lighter than traditional silicone material but more firm (less soft/squishy) as compared to the foam. Maybe these pads would suit your needs better? We look forward to speaking with you so we can best resolve your feedback. Best regards, Sarah@ LoveMyBubbles.com

This is the first time I've ever purchased a product like this, so I can't speak to how it relates compared to others. The edges seem to be peeling up a bit after only a few uses, which makes them a little more visible under thinner tops. I am also concerned about the soap I am using to wash them affecting the strength of the adhesive as the only instructions were to hand wash with a "mild soap". I also do not know how many times I can expect to reuse them as the package did not say. As for now, I am enjoying the freedom of having a non-bra option in warmer weather, but I kind of miss my nipples, frankly. Covering them up just feels unnatural.

Our experience has shown us how important SEO-based promotion is, so when we found out what Nicelocal was and which options if offered, we signed up for the Gold plan. Our website's traffic increased sharply after the first month, and it's still growing, albeit at a slower rate. The traffic from Nicelocal is a lot better targeted than the traffic from context-based ads. This helps us engage more effectively with our target audience and develop a positive company image.

I am now an ex Bubbles customer. I received two pairs of obviously incorrectly marked Bubbles. After sending photos and emails I was basically advised "that's life". This is not a customer oriented company. Quick to take a sale and without regard for a dissatisfied customer. I wasn't looking but now have found an alternative supplier of a superior product with contemporary management.

Karen J. – Bubbles Bodywear Rep

Dear Diane, We are happy to hear that you have found what you are looking for. Although the orders in question are from 2018 and 2019 (and it is now November 2020), and our return policy encourages our customers to contact us within 30 days of receiving their orders if there is a problem, we made a special exception to accept your exchange items and humbly informed you that we were happy to satisfy your request for a resolution. But becasue you refuse to return the items for inspection, we are unable to fix the problem. We simply need the original items in hand to understand the sizing/fit complaint in order to send you a replacement that would meet your expectations. We feel that offering an exchange for products that you have had in your possession since 2018 and 2019 is a fair resolution to your complaint. Please note, the offer still stands to exchange the two panties in question until 11/30/2020. In the meantime, we hope that you will be happy with your other purchases.

If I had bought this latest product first, I would have written off this company. Fortunately, I had previously ordered a product from them that really has made a big difference in the fit of my clothes and therefore my confidence. Originally I ordered the fanny pads that are sort of square shaped. I ordered boy shorts underpants to put them in. I loved the natural look and how much better I looked in my jeans. Then I ordered the product that I hated and will return. The fanny pads are completely round. They look stupid. It's obvious that I have circles on my bootie. Who wants that!? Don't order any fanny pads that are round. Didn't they try out their own product?

I was so excited to receive my new Bubbles merchandise. This was my fist time buying from them. My item ripped the very first time I wore it. The lining is ripped halfway across. Other than that, the fit was great. Just disappointed that this happened.

I ordered the retro diamond high rise with silicone pads and absolutely love them. I noticed that my hips looked a little small, so I added the Sticky Hips and wow... the curves are amazing now. I noticed the fit is a little large, so I will be ordering a new pair a size smaller. Thanks, Bubbles

The Victoria did not fit true to size. I recently had my measurements done and I ordered one size up just to be sure and it was still too small which created rolls and my bottom was very unflattering. I ended up not being able to wear it underneath my dress that I wore to a gala. I am going to exchange it for a larger size. I believe that The Victoria will live up to its description once I have the correct size.

I also have no butt and extra belly fat, so I ordered 2 undergarments to compare: 1 with only foam pads and 2) with the silicone pads. Both gave me superb belly control. Also, even though they were heavier (as advertised), I preferred the silicone butt pads which did give me the boost and shape I needed, so I kept those. Received the order quicker than expected! Highly recommend Lovemybubbles!

I read all kinds of reviews about different companies that sold "special" underwear. I didn't know which one to choose, so I ordered from several different companies. Bubbles stood out from the rest. The quality is better, the fit is better, customer service is great. I have become a loyal customer!

Second time placing an order with you, never disappointed. Last year I ordered highwisted lace panties and the silicone padding. Fell in love as soon as I put them on. This time around I ordered the victorian waist slimmer, and I couldnt be happier with it. Thank you Love my bubbles.

These panties are fabulous. I've only tried them on. I'm looking forward to wearing them with my jeans. I usually wear butt pads, but I think these may work with some of my pants when the butt pads make my derrière look too large. These just lift and separate your own butt cheeks. I think I may be buying more of these.

The important thing is to get the right style. They have a ton of different optins and I was a little overwhelmed. But I chatted with a rep there and they were super helpful. They cared about my issues and made sure that I got the right style for me. I needed cushion for a sciatic nerve and I also have NO BUTT! I got the Foxy Fanny and it was perfect. If I bought the one I had in my basket before chatting, I probably would have gotten the wrong thing.

The silicone is the best kind of butt pad to get. And i likethis store too because they have a lot of different pad sizes... i'm an XL and other products I tried from other companies look like a little unnatural bump on my butt cheek lol! These cover more of my cheek and look and feel really natural.

Tip for consumers:
Chat or Call if yuo have never tried these type of products before. Lots to choose from for different bodies and tastes so get help from them first. Their chat is easy and very helpful.

I love their products, services, and fast delivery! I also received a free gift from them as well. I give them five stars but I wish they had a large section of plus size latex and neoprene waist cinchers and plus size shape wear (fajas). #John3:16

I read candacerae review and I feel the same way. Lived a my life with a flat butt, finally at 65, I got one. Feel so grateful. Didn't want a big Kardashian butt just wanted a butt... i use the pad that comes with it for most of my clothes and the thick pad with my jeans. I feel so womanly and even skinnier now. My mom was tall and thin with green eyes and no butt my dad was thick with a nice butt and dark brown eyes. I got my dad's shape and my mom's no butt and green eyes. Every thing about love my bubbles is fantastic. Gonna order the boob lifter next. Thank you ladies that make us look awesome for making me as awesome as you are. Your customer service is impeccable.

The padding should've filled the whole underwear. I would've liked a little thicker padding. I am a 50 yr old blk woman and its back there its just somewhat fallen. I will be trying the hippi hipster next. Overall I'm a happy customer. Just note that 2x +. We're already thick just wanna be a little thicker and the padding needs to go completely hip to hip. Thank you. Ms. Bubbles

The price are great and I love the free shipping and the free item. This company I love that they tell you what your getting and how the garment will look and fit with ur body and how it will fit under ur clothes. They are so detail and thats what a most customer like myself love. I also like the CEO thats she can be apart of the experience meaning she tell u about every item and how it will look and feel on our body. She explain everything u might ask when u watch the video it's like ur talking to her and she makes you feel like she understand what we women wants and I thx her for that cuz there's no other company that does that. Thx u again for amazing service and items.

These are simply fantastic! I love the subtle boost from the foam padding - enough to be a noticeable change but not so much to be really obvious or unnatural. They are also really comfortable. My natural hip size is 37" and the medium shorts fit really nicely. I think the low rise boyshort design works best under jeans. Under a clingy dress the panty line is a bit more visible but I guess the Hipee would be better in that situation. I got the silicone pads as well - they are quite a bit thicker and so give a much more noticeable boost to my hips and butt. Lastly I have to say I am so impressed with the service and delivery from Bubbles. I ordered on Sunday and the delivery arrived on Wednesday - in the UK! I did have to pay an extra customs charge though but all in all I am really happy!

The Retro Lace Padded Panty will work after I exchanged the padding it came with with padding I had from years ago. Haven't tried on the Behind the Seams High Waist garment yet, but feel I'd need to exchange the padding in this as well...

Thumbnail of user karenj120
Karen J. – Bubbles Bodywear Rep

Hi Simone, Thanks for shopping with Bubbles again! Judging by your order history, I believe that the Retro Lace style will be a good fit for your preferences. The Foxy Fanny Lace Padded Panty (item 9015) and the Highrise Diamond Padded Panty (item 9041) both have wider pad pockets to accommodate wider padding so you may also want to consider these styles in the future. The Behind The Seams pads are oval and sit a bit higher on the body for a "higher" boost effect, so if you find that you don't like these when you get them, contact us and we will send you a pre-paid return label. We hope this helps... and that you love your new Bubbles! ~Bubbles Bodywear

It was ok, not enough padding and ran a bit too small. I will be returning it. And the picture was not exactly as I saw online, it seemed higher waistline in the picture.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Bubbles® Bodywear is the world's pioneer in designing and manufacturing curve-enhancing shapewear and accessories, with a focus on padded underwear. Our exclusive shapewear designs and our ground-breaking booty-boosting body shapers are the creation of Karen Jones, our Founder and CEO. As a result of her own needs as a not-so-curvy girl, Karen has been designing curve-enhancing solutions for men and women since founding Bubbles® in 2003.

Business History

I know what it's like to be the "butt" of jokes and teasing... Growing up, I was late-bloomer - little, skinny with no curves. My nickname was Jones Bones and "BK" (Big Karen - that was sarcasm).

Almost every kid endures adolescent teasing, whether it's for being tall, short, small, big - you name it! The trick is to turn that negativity into something good; to become stronger and more resilient later in life. And that's what Bubbles is all about - giving people the tools to build self-confidence.

The "insecurity seed" planted by all that teasing made me quite uncomfortable with the way I looked, even as an adult. Then, in 2003 I had an idea for a product that would boost my behind to help fill-out my clothing. I experimented with my new invention with my favorite pair of pants (pants that had been sitting in my closet for years because they had become stretched out and saggy in the back).

Lo' and behold, my little invention worked! I received lots of compliments the first time I wore it. I donned my "Bands" whenever I wore the pants. Then I thought... other girls might need this too! After all, I was feeling dramatically transformed... the part of my body that made me so self-conscious had suddenly become my best asset.

Over the next few years we began to add to the Bubbles' collection. In particular, we saw a need to improve on the selection of padded underwear available for women (and men) who needed more than a just a little lift. In 2006 we started designing and building the line of padded panties, boyshorts and briefs that we offer today.

Read our customer feedback and you'll understand how and why Bubbles has grown, mainly from word-of-mouth. After all, when friends spread the word about their favorite products, you know just how great they are! We're proud to say that Bubbles Bodywear has become the One Stop Booty Shop! ® for thousands of women and men who want a boost to their backside (and their self-confidence).

Karen J.
Owner & Founder
Karen Jones, a Florida native who studied Studio Art at Florida State University, always had an interest in entrepreneurship. In 2003, after inventing a booty-lifting shapewear product for her own use, she realized that other people could benefit from her curve and confidence boosting invention... and Bubbles Bodywear was born, with Karen's first three patented shapewear designs.

With her background in Studio Art, and then professionally in Web Design, Karen launched her own website in 2004. But her early education in manufacturing and business came with much trial and error.

To provide some perspective, in 2004 e-commerce was burgeoning and fashion trends were just starting to ditch the heroin-chic look. Amazon was still known for books, J-Lo's curves were beginning to hit magazine covers and KimK was barely a blip on the social media radar. It was a very different world.

Over the years Bubbles has evolved from "Bubbles Butt Boosting Lingerie" to "Bodywear Bodywear" to encompass Customer's requests for a variety of shapewear products that boost, sculpt and lift.

Bubbles now offers 100 exclusive and specialty body shapers from both women and men, all designed by Karen herself.

"Focusing on the Customer - their wants, needs, complaints, suggestions and personal stories," says Karen "is what makes us who we are. And building a happy company team here at Bubbles has been an important focus for me too. Running a company makes you responsible, not only to your Customers, but also to your employees and their families. From our products to our working environment, I hope to engender confidence, happiness and security for anyone who wants to be a 'Bubbles Girl' (or boy)!"
