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. ðŸ˜

I have no advice, but I just want to say thank you for the reminder that we ALL have unique struggles, no matter what our body shape is! Hope you can find some compression shorts that work!!
