Hip and buttock padding is used to increase the apparent size of the hips and buttocks in order to increase apparent waist-hip ratio which implies more feminine body shape. It is used by people of various genders: cis and trans women wishing to emphasize feminine curves and increase their physical attractiveness,[1] and cross-dressers either to pass or create an exaggerated figure, as in drag performance.[2] This technique is often used by drag queens to create the illusion of a feminine figure, often taking it to the extreme for comedic value.
