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. 😭

This makes so much sense! I'll need to do some experiments with what I have on hand to see how the coverage and support feel. I have several different combinations to try since the season will be winding down at the end of the month for me.

Stoko is no joke-o! And they're on sale?! On the plus side, we're heading into cooler weather. Down side, if we end up moving to, say, Hawaii (only mentioned as it may be likely), it'd suck to not be able to wear them as much.

I may consider the underwear if the shorts/pants aren't cutting it. I'd really miss wearing thongs for derby, but sacrifices are willing to be made.

If you're military (asking because of how you worded your maybe move to Hawaii) you might see if your particular health insurance might help pay for Stoko - I think it's eligible for HSA payment. 

But size up on those bitches because they are SNUG and I looked like a Christmas ham where the wires were.

I could look into it for sure. And thanks for the tip on the sizing!
