Negative Body Image? Here's A Quick Fix
79Why do you have a negative body image?
Because we're human, we have insecurities. We may think a minor blemish is plain obvious but to someone else, they may need to put their glasses on and get a magnifying glass to see it. Nobody's perfect. Everybody knows that. Even if you're the most attractive person on the planet, maybe you have an attitude or ego problem that makes you unattractive. Bottom line is, we never see ourselves the way other people see us.
Where does a negative body image originate from?
Most negative body image issues originate from:
- being teased or picked on when young
- being abused when young
- being alienated or rejected by certain groups of people (i.e. at school)
- place in any environment where you appear physically different from the majority (in ethnicity, weight, etc)
- comparing ourselves to other people (especially celebrities)
- trying to live up to impossible standards
When self image affects relationships
When your body image becomes more important than having an open, honest relationship then you have problems. Any relationship based purely on looks is not going anywhere in the long run. This is one reason why the products in this hub are useful when used for the right reasons. They help you overcome your "shying away from people" tendencies resulting from having a negative body image and allow you to get to the stage where you are confident enough in yourself to approach and get to know other people. It's not about being deliberately deceitful at all.
The Breast Solution
If you don't feel like you've got enough upstairs, there are a number of options at your disposal (that are not as painful or expensive or permanent like surgery).
You can use "chicken fillet" silicone breast enhancers. These fit comfortably inside your bra to enhance the appearance of your cleavage and help you fill out a little more. They can look, feel and move around like real breasts. Usually these are also safe for use in tubs or in chlorinated pools so you should be safe from any harmful chemical reactions, but always check the individual products.If you are insecure about your nipples in particular, perhaps they are too small, then there is also a product for you. Check out the nipples to the right.
Another option is to use a pushup bra. Rather than introducing a third party piece, this type of bra shapes what you own and shows them off. Perfect for creating a plunging neck line. Have a look at the nipple bearing number - something extra for a special night!
You could also look for padded bras, which are essentially the same as using silicone breast enhancers in your bra, but without the worry of your chicken fillets falling out during rough play.

No Butt This Really Works!
If you're lacking a little in the rear and hip area, take some time to ogle at these padded products which are sure to improve your body image. This padded underwear will help you fill out your tight dress or jeans and allow you to walk around with confidence that eyes will follow you as you walk past.
There are products for men as well. I'm just thinking, I wonder if this makes a difference to people riding bikes. Does the extra padding make sitting on that small seat more comfortable?
Is my body too bootylicious for ya, babe?
Insecure Package?
It's not only women that get feelings of inadequacy. A lot of men have an unhealthy obsession with size of their package. They feel the need to appear larger than normal all the time. I especially love the blatant abuse of crotch boosters by Ben Stiller's character in Dodgeball!
These package enhancers give you that extra confidence when wearing tighter clothing. If you really want to grab the attention of the ladies, try out the g-string enhancers! Sexy time!
Celebrities That Use These Products!
- Beyonce can be seen in the photo to the right wearing some butt enhancers. See? Celebrities themselves struggle live up to an artificial image of themselves.
- Anna Faris admits she bought lots of padded bras for her role as a playboy bunny in the House Bunny.
- Is J-Lo's butt legit?!!
- See Nicole Ritchie's runaway chicken fillet in the photo below.
Have You Used Body Enhancers Before?Loading...
LOL hypnodude! Yeah I had to show celebrities were just like everyone else, but perhaps are judged more and actually have it harder in a way. There is of course another way to cure those insecurities - hypnosis! :)
I loved the beginning of this hub, the fake bits was a bit in opposition to the beginning paragraphs, as I felt like you were really getting somewhere and making a statement which was really valid. On the positive side, the enhancers are a bit of a giggle. To see Beyonce wearing some makes me feel better at some level, yet a little sad on another.. that even people we think have everything feel they have to be better or create their character ... thanks.. overall, very very good and thankyou!
Lol. :) But you're right. Hypnosis can help almost in every field. :)
Hey salt, thanks for dropping by! Yeah I think I got carried away by those products! The message was meant to be that everybody has negative body images mainly due to unrealistic perceptions of what is ideal. When one gets so caught up in it that it stops them enjoying life because of it (eg staying away from people etc) then perhaps a quick fix to help them ease out of that (by boosting their confidence a little) is to use these products. =)
This is a fabulous hub. Great info, nice items and awesome pics. I was more than happy to unveil the truth about beyonce to my husband, LOL. Thank you!!
Madison22, glad I could help prove a point to your husband! haha :)
I can see you stay "abreast" of current lingerie trends, "butt" I'll bet you didn't learn all that stuff by being a "crotch" potato.
Funny hub, Marco.
Only you could psychoanalyse me the breast, doc! :) Thanks!
I love this hub =) I would be scared to use any kind of padding though.. knowing my luck it'd probably go all wrong!
Hey yenajeon! Thank you. I wouldn't be scared. I will give you some advice though - if it's for the top half, padding goes in the front; if it's for your bottom half, padding goes in the back!! Unless you're a man, in which case the padding for the bottom half goes in front. Easy!
Marco this was just fabulous a ten out of ten for me buddy.
Thanks blondepoet, I knew you'd like the eye candy!!
Great hub.
I think this is somewhat insane... but these are the days we live in, eh? It's like everyone is trying to reach some sort of artificial ideal and no one is just trying to be the best they can be (naturally.)
Thanks RosWebbART :)
Jonny you're not wrong. But if it helps, somehow, in a way, then why not I guess. Thanks for dropping by.
nice information and pics. good thing I never knew about the package enhancers. That is really TMI (too much information).
If only I needed a butt enhancer!!! Need to diet LOTS to make that worthwhile.
Like hypnodude says, this article gave me a good laugh. Body image is important, of course - but someone is laughing all the way to the bank with all the money we're spending to make ourselves look like the Photoshopped fakes in the magazines? Peace out, folks. Good tips, though.
Well I'm glad I read this one...and equally glad I scrolled to the bottom! Hehe..
@ocbill thanks mate, i'm sure you don't need those package enhancers!
@Janet now now... there are tights you know! Just kidding. Be happy with what you've got. Some people like what you have & they don't lie about it either (like sir mixalot) :)
@doitrightnow absolutely right. I only wish that person was me $$$$! lol
@donotfear, marco is here! glad you liked the man candy i put here especially for you!
insecurities are born from culture in societies. to be human, is not to be insecure. to believe in the ethos of sexy los angeles california america land, is to believe in the myth of having a perfect celebrity body.
Awesome! Im considering these tips
Not wrong Mike, thanks for dropping by.
sncalo, it's a whole new world out there when you start finding products such as these! Now I find myself second guessing everybody's butts! lol
You are right we all struggle with one thing or the other. Thanks for the information.
Where is the line? Clothes that flatter, padding, elastic belts bands for holding the tummy in on camera. Hair pieces, makeup, nails, spray tans. It makes a difference, often psitive.
Congratulations about the subject. I had no idea of the existence of some of these products.
@onlinescamcheck Yeah, everyone with something different :) @TrustedMarketing Whatever works I say! :) Thanks for dropping by. @nightstalker you and me both! Now I'm more street smart about what is actually real and what may not be! Especially with celebs who seem to be larger than life.
When you have just enough up there - be happy with it. I am, mind you, some of the guys are really packing here! And check out the dude at the spot below the comment box! huhuhuhuh! : )
I reckon just enough up there is all you need, not more. Haha, I know you girls like the 'packaging' guys come with! LOL

Man, you find some of the strangest things on sale. Funny hub, I like Dodgeball too, good laughs there. From the serious side I think you've done a great service showing that celebrities use enhancers. They are common people with some insecurities too. Great hub Marco, very well done.
