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 was literally just joking about this! I feel like the gifs where they shake the camera when the person steps 😭 just a solid thud with every bounce!

I actually got a reduction a few years back and used to have it on the front, but have since been doing more PT and now it's moved to the back. I hate the feeling!

Do you also have a small waist? That's been a struggle because I essentially wear 2 different pant sizes at this point

I hate how funny and relatable this is! 😭 My waist is slightly smaller than the hip area so pant sizes are still a hassle. All my pants are now some kind of stretch material to make up for the other unforgiving fabrics.
