“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.

Although wearable with jeans or close fitting garments l expected them to be contoured for a better fit to the body

Dear Debby, Thank you for your feedback. We offer the Sticky Buns in both foam and silicone. If you found that the foam padding is not as contouring as expected, you may find that the silicone is a bit more supple and flexible for your needs. Please contact us so that we may exchange your item for something that would make you happier! ~Bubbles Bodywear.

I went one size higher and still my circulation was cut around my hips, thighs, and intergluteal cleft. The hem line shows through fitting clothes.

Geez! I ordered the thong shorts that were high waisted and has a strap to attach to your bra and the butt is cut out, I have a booty that I didn't want flattened, a stomach I wanted smushed in and thighs that I wanted slimmed down ( I could feed America with these thighs) So I wanted to look and feel better for the holidays in my tight jeans but dang... I didn't realize I'd be working a sweat when I have to use the bathroom and that I'd be in there a good 10 mins trying to re-adjust. Also because its spandex, my jeans want to slide down even with a belt on. I'm so disappointed, I really wanted the miracle. I will say that they did a wonderful job in my appearance but I don't know that it will be worth wearing all night out. I'm the type that would carry a pair of scissors in my purse, just incase I decided it would be easier to cut the thing off while trying to use the restroom. Any suggestions? Especially to the part that my jeans just want to slide down, I even wear my belt super tight. I guess a 2 sided tape around my waist, yea right!

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!

Not as good as hoped for

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!

Have to try a few items ( often can't be returned), until you find the one that works for you. Once you do, you will love it!

The large is too tight around the waist. I wear a 12, but this is more like a 10. Go large with these tiny things.

I have no butt and a little pooch on my belly. With the help of the undergarment my belly is smoothed out and I have a natural looking backside.

The fit is super unflattering & I was expecting something different. The fabric was ok. Not worth the price.

When my order arrived, I spent about 2 hours trying on the 4 different pairs ordered with various pants, skirts and dresses. I really wasn't sure how I felt at first- considered returning it all. Decided to wait until the next day and I'm so glad I did! I figured out that different pads, (silicone, foam, thickness) looked best when matched with the specific cut of the pants/skirt I have. I wear the silicone pads which sit lower on the buttock (for me) with dress pants for work; thick foam pads in the Perfect Panty which sits higher for jeans and layered thin w/thick foam pads with dresses/skirts.
I am 5'3,165lbs, 43 y. O. and typical diabetic "apple on a stick" figure with most of my weight in my belly and bust. I have absolutely no butt whatsoever, In fact- its almost concave. My pant size in everything is a 10 petite (petite short if I'm not going to wear heels). I ordered 2 panties in Large and 2 in X-Large. Because I have a big belly, no butt and skinny legs- the low waist panties have been most comfortable and stay in place. I was hoping the high rise ones would cinch my waist but they're panties, not liposuction :) They would be better for an event or night out but not everyday wear. The X-Large for me allow for the thicker pads to be more more comfortable but the large are great too, a bit tighter around the leg.
This has been hard on my self image and affected my confidence. I'm happily married (my husband says he loves my body just the way it is) and we have teen-aged daughters and sons- so I really keep it to myself as to not pass my body image issues to my kids. Everyone in my house has noticed a difference in my appearance and commented that I have a "different posture of confidence". My co-workers have asked if I lost weight and/or commented that I look great but can't figure out what's different.
My feedback to customers- be realistic with your expectations, size up and read the reviews! For Love my Bubbles- thank you for creating a wonderful product and having exemplary customer service. This was all about me and how I feel about myself. Thank you for the extra boost in my butt and confidence!

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)!"
