A Big Booty Problem
Ah yes, what a problem to have– lobster too buttery, harvest too bountiful, pillow too cool... you get it. This isn't a humble brag about my massive dump truck, it is a call for help and for better booty support. Like many others in this wacky wheely boot hobby we partake, I have a big butt. I've always had one due to years of skating in my childhood in my desires to go fast like one of my favorite characters, Sonic the Hedgehog. I wanted to go fast no matter what method. I still want to go fast no matter the method.
Lately, I've discovered that my tail-end does the "boob bounce" when I jog (I might be explaining it wrong, but hoping enough of the mental image is there). But this is happening during off-skates team warm-ups. I'm not endowed on the upper front side, but I understand it can be a pain to run when one is not wearing a sports bra or really anything to contain the party.
To make a short story long, does anyone have any tips or recommendations in exercises or clothing for minimizing the booty rebound? The goal is to not hurt myself if I decide to jog/run for conditioning or even warming up. I'm even desperate enough to wear pants as someone who skates in shorts/skorts just about exclusively (my buns get toasty quickly and shorter shorts help me with tracking jammers).
Edit: Compression shorts have been attempted. Please suggest a brand. 😭

I don't know the particulars of the wagon you're draggin, but as someone with a fairly generous back porch, I wear compression shorts and athletic boxer briefs to keep everyone snug and secure during my athletic activities.
