Hey all - I've been padding for a bit but so far I've only really got my upper half to look good. I'm using a method from a post I can't find anymore (maybe it's deleted?), but it's base gel mixed with water, in double-bagged trash bags. I'm using anywhere from 1-2 gal in each bag, depending on how big I wanna go, and then 1-3 bags in my shapewear bodysuit. Using this, with 2 small base gel ziplocs in a sports bra for moobs, I've got a mostly realistic-looking and -feeling setup, which is important because I like to go out in public in it and don't want to look too unrealistic.
My issue is I don't really know how to do my lower half. I've tried one or two towels stuffed into some leggings, which looks decent with a larger pair of jeans over top, but it gets super hot under all that fabric pretty quick, and the towels don't always stay put. And it's somewhat difficult to keep the pants up! I can't use any base gel bags since I'd like to be able to sit down on my padded butt, and the bags couldn't take that kind of pressure. I'm a dude trying to look like a fat dude, so it's not super important that my butt in particular is huge, but I'd like to "flesh out" my hips & thighs more.
For now I just wear a very large pair of jeans or joggers and pull the waistband up to my padded "belly-button-level". The pant legs are baggy enough that they hide the fact that my legs, hips, and butt don't match my hugely-padded gut.
So I guess I'm just wondering what all you guys do, what works, what doesn't work. What do you pad with? What do you use to hold it all the padding in? How do you keep your padded pants from falling down in public? Etc.
