Removable pads sit in ruched hip panels, so you can adjust the level of lift and remove them for washing or a flatter look.
A wide waistband and removable pads provide comfortable hip enhancement, so the boyshorts stay in place and create natural curves under jeans.

What Not to Choose — and What to Pick Instead

Padded shorts with visible pad edges — they create a fake, lumpy look.

Choose built-in pads with seamless edges.

Low-rise padded shorts — they slide down and the pads shift.

Pick mid-rise or high-waist styles with grip.

Removable pads that aren't washable — they lose shape quickly.

Choose washable removable pads for long-term use.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

If you need medical compression or have skin conditions, consult a healthcare professional.
