If there’s one thing 2021 will be remembered for when it comes to activewear or fitness fashion, it’s scrunch bum leggings and its little sister, scrunch-bum shorts.

Technically, we got wind of scrunch bum bottoms late in 2020, but thanks to social media influencers on TikTok and YouTube, a lot of women eventually fell in love with scrunch bum tights and booty scrunch shorts.

Now, whether you’re planning to jump on the scrunch bum bandwagon or are looking to expand your collection of booty scrunch leggings or shorts (or both), then today’s your lucky day.

Here’s your guide to how to make your butt bigger with the best scrunch-bum shorts.

What Does Scrunch Bum Mean?

To the uninitiated or unfamiliar, scrunch bum refers to leggings or shorts that feature a cinched design element placed strategically between the butt cheeks.

The scrunch-bum design that has exploded in the world of leggings and shorts features stitching or ruching along the back seam in the butt section of each piece. Moreover, the horizontal part of the seam is positioned right above the butt line, so the leggings or shorts gather the fabric into the butt crack. This, aside from the ruching, adds more definition to the bum and hugs the two butt cheeks.

The back portion of the waistband of scrunch-butt leggings and shorts is also structured to resemble a pulled-up thong, featuring a distinctive V-shape. This cut or style reinforces the scrunching at the vertical seam (between the butt cheeks) and further enhances the appearance of the wearer’s bum. Meanwhile, high-waisted scrunch-bum leggings give the wearer the added advantage of a smoother, slimmer silhouette on top of a maximally visually enhanced booty — so it looks like a juicy peach indeed!

The clever stitching and styling used in scrunch leggings and scrunch shorts work to make a regular or any-sized behind exceptionally plump or curvier. Scrunch-bum bottoms work the same way for different butt shapes, so anyone can wear them.

No wonder everyone who wants to have an outstanding badonkadonk or bubblebutt is obsessed with scrunch tights and bum scrunch shorts.

Why Are Scrunch-Bum Leggings and Shorts Trending?

Scrunch-bum leggings (aka booty or TikTok leggings) and shorts are trending because a lot of women want a curvy, substantial butt. Of course, the social media mileage these bottom-enhancing apparel gained has helped a lot in boosting their popularity.

The online exposure of booty leggings is nothing short of phenomenal. Social media influencers posted reviews and everyday scenarios involving TikTok leggings. Others made dance and reaction videos that show them wearing these special derriere-enhancing bottoms.

This is why bum shorts and scrunch-bum leggings have become one of the most in-demand activewear this year. It also looks like they’re here to stay — just like see-through tights or leggings with mesh panels and those shiny leggings that Hollywood celebrities love.

What to Consider When Buying Scrunch Bum Shorts

When you’re out shopping for scrunch bum shorts, there are certain factors you need to consider. Actually, after reading the list below, you’ll notice that nearly the same qualities apply, whether you’re buying scrunch shorts or their regular counterparts:

• Comfort and stretchability: Although what you’re primarily after is the butt-enhancing feature of scrunch shorts or shorts, it’s crucial to find a pair that’s comfortable and has just the right amount of stretch to keep you well-supported.
• Fit: When buying any sort of workout apparel, it’s crucial to get only those items that are true to your Too-tight or too-loose workout shorts will not only be uncomfortable but also look unsightly and distract you from your workout.
• Stitching: Since scrunch-bum bottoms have a very specific style of stitching that could make them vulnerable to damage or tearing, make sure you examine the seams in the butt area. Check the ruching too, as this feature is what gives booty leggings and shorts the ability to make your bum look bigger or curvier.
• Fabric: Part of the comfort that comes with workout clothes is greatly influenced by the fabric or material. And while the honeycomb-style or textured fabric usually associated with scrunch-bum bottoms is popular, there are other types of materials used, such as plain or printed performance fabric. What’s important is that the material is breathable and sweat-wicking, so you’ll be comfortable even when engaging in high-intensity training.
• Squat-proof: Whether it’s scrunch booty shorts or regular workout bottoms that you’re shopping for, it’s always better to ensure the pair you’re getting is squat-proof. So, pay attention to the waistband (high waist is usually better), elasticity (so it stays in place), thickness of the fabric and its level of opacity (so it’s not transparent).

Scrunch Bum Shorts or Shorts to Avoid and Why

Shopping for scrunch-bum bottoms, and workout clothes in general, is fun. However, you also need to be on your guard against products that aren’t worth buying.

To be specific, avoid these scrunch bum shorts and shorts:

• Anything that’s oversized or too small wouldn’t look great and can affect the quality of your workouts. So, to avoid buyer’s remorse, skip the sale if you can’t find a pair that’s in your size.
• Cheap and mass-produced products usually have a short lifespan. Make sure you buy high-quality leggings from reputable brands that make use of materials or fabrics specifically designed for activewear. Always consider the stretch, durability and quality of the stitching. In the long run, you’ll be getting more bang for your buck when you invest in quality pieces.
• Non-squat-proof bottoms tend to be made from flimsy or thin material, so they end up becoming see-through. Also consider the waistband, as non-squat-proof booty bottoms would roll down around the waist when you try to squat.
• Leggings and shorts made from non-breathable and non-moisture-wicking fabrics make for very uncomfortable workouts. So if you regularly engage in intense exercise, always check if the fabric or material is breathable and sweat-wicking.

Scrunch Bum Shorts vs Normal Shorts: What’s the Difference?

There isn’t a whole world of difference between scrunch-bum and ‘normal’ or regular shorts EXCEPT for one feature: the scrunch bum. Of course, even when the color, pattern, print or fabric is the same, there’s likely to be a glaring difference in the way your butt would look when you compare both types of shorts.

It’s mostly a matter of preference and priority actually. If your tiny or regular-sized butt doesn’t bother you, then by all means stick to regular shorts. But if you want a pleasantly rounded or an outstanding butt, then go for the scrunch-bum style.

Of course, you can have a mix of both in your workout wardrobe. You don’t have to have a badonkadonk to look great or enjoy your workout. But you can have a bootylicious behind if you want to — even when your butt is small or ‘regular’.
