Rago Padded Shaper Panties 914 Reviews

I ordered a black and a white pair in size small. I'm ill and VERY thin. 5'6" tall, 105pds. They are supposed to be high briefs, which I didn't like since I don't wear high waisted jeans, but thought I'd deal with it. Well, they only come to my hipbones, not even CLOSE to being briefs. Because they are so low the padding falls in a weird place, causing my butt to look out of place. I would never have thought to order a larger size, as I have trouble keeping up a size 1 in pants. But they do only hit at my hipbones and cause an unnatural looking butt. Lyn from Colorado

Too much padding!! I would have kept it if this item had had 1/2 the padding. Patricia from Chapel Hill NC

They really made my clothes look much nicer. I don't have near the sagging butt and was so happy when I discovered them. They have really changed my feelings for myself. I think they look as natural as you can get for the price. abby

SHE IS ALWAYS TELLING ME HOW MANY GALS SHE HAS TALKED INTO GETTING THEM, SO I DID, AND I AM THRILLED. YOU JUST HAVE TO BE RATHER THIN WITH NO BUTT TO REALLY APPRECIATE THEM. IT HAS ADDED A FEW INCHES TO MY BACKSIDE IN THE RIGHT PLACES, AND MY CLOTHES LOOK SO MUCH BETTER ON ME. PLEASE DON'T STOP SELLING THESE, WHAT WOULD WE DO???? Bobbie from Amador

I wear the Rago padded panties everyday under everything - they are wonderful! I really forget that I have them on for they are so very comfortable. With my flat bottom and no hips I avoided tight dresses, shorts and slacks. No more - I now am a very sexy lady. With my Nearly Me forms on top and my padded panties I have the figure I wanted and needed. My confidence, self esteem and ability to wear clothes that really show off my boobs and butt is great! My husband is delighted and our sex life is great. Panties do have to come off before love however - colors are nice. Carol from NYC

Agree with several of the other comments...did offer a more flattering look under some garments but not real to the touch and would like to see a gel insert versus the foam. Probably won't wear these often if again...oh well. Laura from Fayetteville Ark

I have been purchasing these for awhile now, and they are great shapers for my butt. I first discovered them and encouraged the gals that were doing a show in a theatre in our town with me. The costumes we needed had to have more curve appeal in our butts! Some I purchased that were much larger and some small to fill our size. The idea caught on with me that since I was thin, they would help pad me when I was sitting down, and also in my regular clothes they gave shape in my rear end..After that I continued to purchase your padded shaper pants, and I think they should have a lighter padding, as they do show an indentation in close fitting material. I can wear them with Levis just fine, and they fit better giving me shape where I need it. I am five foot nine, and thin, and always felt I did not have much of a butt like the other gals did. I find they really make me look better now even in dresses. One of the gals wrote about feeling funny wearing them, but who is to know? If it works, do it! Barb from California

The contour is wonderful. The padding is easy to remove for washing the garment. The stitching on the leg could be better and sometimes comes unstitched. Chryss from St. Augustine, FL USA

I love the look of a shapeful rear. I wear them, now, all the time. The only problem I see is...that sometimes they bunch up at the bottom and have to adjust them.and I wish they would stay firmer longer. Otherwise, this sure makes a difference in the appearance in my clothing. Mary T from Alpena, Mi. USA

Great butt enhancement. Wish it had more belly control. grace from illnios

After losing weight, my normal "no butt" figure really has become an "absolutely no butt" figure and it is hard to sit for very long on anything, particularly hard things. These panties do help. I am a little self conscious about wearing them because I think the padding placement is not the most natural it could be, but then what do I know -- I have no butt and never have had! I don't wear them under light colored or thinner pants because I think the padding is more noticeable, but if I'm going to be traveling, or sitting on something hard, I just make sure to wear something darker and enjoy the comfort.

I agree with the former comments. I do believe a gel would absolutely feel better. I don't care how they feel to me. It is something that one could get used to. I also agree that you can see the "outline" of the pads under thinner garments....the pads don't need to be so thick. While these are nice...I know that there are some improvements that can be made and I would love it if you all would try to make them more natural. There is a definite big market for them. ej from MONTCLAIR,Nj

I like them because they fill in the excess material on garments that used to hang. I am finding out tho, that the more I wear them and the longer during the day, they seem to roll a little at the bottom. I just adjust them at bathroom breaks. This is my first time using them so I will see how well they wear. Maybe gel may be better..don't know as yet. But I do like the way I look..and so do others. Beats a flat butt....Its more youthful... Ms Mary from Alpena, Mi. USA

They start out great, but after a month or so, I'm finding that they're bunching up. Which has been very embarrassing if you don't realize it until you have gone to the ladies room. Imagine what it looks like from a spectator's view. I had surgery on one side of my buttocks and it left one side smaller than the other. I guess there's not too much can be done about that anyway, but I thought the padded briefs would help. When I build one side up the other side is out of proportion and when I use both it really looks odd. If you have any suggestions I'll gladly receive them!

HerRoom Response: The bunching comment is a new one on us. Our suggestion would be to make sure the pads are in the proper place before pulling your panty on. Jean from Clinton, MS

It is the best item I have found of its kind. The foam is very unnatural in terms of feel If they can be done with bras - why not with panties. I still think it really is worth another try. Also...the prior commenter was right - something needs to be done so that when the panty is worn under tight fitting garments, you don't see the pad outline. One product I tried formerly had larger pads that covered the entire rear - but they did not have a good form and I had to recut-shape the form pad myself. It was ok afterwards...but too much work to do. So...my suggestion - gel-type pad to cover the full rear. And...please don't make it so big...we just need a little enhancement. Thanks.

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your thoughts. The challenge with an item like this is that the person also has to sit on the pads. Manufacturers have found that gel pads can be very uncomfortable to sit on vs. the foam which compresses nicely.

I like the item overall. I wear it because of a medical situation. Where the pads start on the outside end, it is not a smooth gradual protrusion. It is ok under some garments but if it's a knit or tight fitting, it does not look real natural. I like that you can remove the pads when washing the panty. I am concerned about the comment that they loose their shape after wearing them all day. I'll see.....

HerRoom Response: The pads are made in a foam. If they are sat on most of the day, they will eventually need to be replaced.

A gel insert would be great! At the start of the day the foam inserts give you a nice rounded look, but by the end of the day they have compressed and you have lost that look. A gel insert would also feel more natural to the touch!

HerRoom Response: Rago was told of your idea. They asked us to thank you but they did try this design change. The testers complained that it felt like they were sitting on 2 rocks all day.

My problem with this item is the feel if someone touches you. I think they should have a more real feel like a gel or something you could remove to wash. lorin from ofallon ,mo
