If you feel your butt is a bit small, you might be looking for ways to enhance it. Wearing the right kind of pants, doing certain exercises, and adjusting your weight can help increase its size. Achieving a bigger butt is within reach if you follow these steps.
Steps
Work Your Entire Body

Change the Way You Walk. How you walk can highlight or minimize different areas of your body. Push your shoulders back and arch your lower back. This posture not only accentuates your butt but also slims your waist a little and makes your chest appear larger.
- Try mimicking the walk of models on the catwalk. Imagine an imaginary line on the ground in front of you, directly beneath your navel, in between your feet. With each step, bring your foot toward the center of your body and place it along the imaginary line. Then, place the other foot directly in front of the first one, along that same line. Keep walking like this, with one foot ahead of the other, and engage your glutes.
- You can ask a personal trainer to assess your walk and help you improve it.
- To highlight your feminine curves, you should follow the steps in How to Walk Like a Star.

Develop Your Glute Muscles. You can truly make your butt rounder and bigger by building the muscles there. Perform these exercises at least 3 times a week to see the fastest results:
- Hip Raises. Lie on your back with your knees bent and arms at your sides. Lift your hips up and lower them back down. Repeat 3 sets of 10 reps.
- Squats. Squats are the best exercise for maximizing glute activation. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms extended in front of you. Bend your knees to form a 90-degree angle with a straight back, then return to the starting position. Repeat 3 sets of 20 reps.
- Forward Lunges. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your back leg straight and bend your front leg to lower your body down. Return to the starting position, then switch legs. Repeat 3 sets of 20 reps.
- Leg Raises. Stand on one leg. Use the other leg to kick backward until you feel your glutes engaged. Perform 10 reps per leg, and to increase intensity, use ankle weights.

Engage Your Core Muscles. Core exercises can tone your abs and make your waist appear slimmer in contrast to your glutes. Perform core workouts at least 3 times a week for optimal results. Start with these exercises:
- Leg Raises. Raising your legs might sound like it targets just your legs, but it actually works your abdominal muscles as well. Lie on your back with your legs straight, then bend and raise your legs while keeping your toes pointed. Extend your legs so they point straight up toward the ceiling. Slowly lower your legs until they are about 2 cm off the floor. Repeat 5 times, then rest for 30 seconds.
- Oblique Crunches. Lie on your back with your knees bent. Place your hands behind your head and keep your elbows bent. Lift one shoulder off the ground and twist your body toward the opposite side. For example, if you lift your left shoulder, twist your body to the right. Alternate between both sides, doing 10 reps on each side.

Try Sports That Build Leg and Glute Muscles. Your favorite sport could also improve the appearance of your glutes. Here are some great options:
- Running
- Cycling
- Swimming
- Gymnastics
- Skiing
- Volleyball
- Soccer
- Hockey
- Join a cheerleading team

Adjust Your Weight. Gaining or losing weight to enhance your butt (in relation to the rest of your body) depends on your natural body type, which is determined by genetics. When you gain weight, where does the fat go first?
- If the fat goes to your butt and hips, gaining a little weight may be beneficial for your glutes. See How to Gain Weight.
- If the fat goes to your arms, stomach, and back first, losing some weight will make your body appear slimmer in comparison to your glutes, making them look bigger. See How to Lose Weight. This is especially true if you carry excess weight around your waist. Reducing your waistline can make your glutes appear larger, even if they don’t actually change. See How to Lose Belly Fat.
Change Your Clothing

Choose the Right Jeans. A well-fitted pair of jeans can reshape your butt, making it look rounder and more lifted. Consider the following when shopping for jeans:
- Wear Fitted Jeans. Baggy jeans hide your curves, and they can’t show them off beneath loose fabric. Fitted jeans or jeggings are perfect for highlighting your glutes. If these styles aren’t comfortable, opt for straight-leg jeans or regular jeans with a more tailored fit in the back.
- Pay Attention to Pocket Placement. Small, high pockets will make your glutes appear larger. Additionally, decorative pockets with details like coins or stitching can attract attention to your backside. Avoid jeans with large pockets or no pockets at all.
- Try High-Waisted Jeans. The waistband should hug the smallest part of your waist, making your waist appear smaller and your glutes larger.
- Low-Rise Jeans (at the widest part of the hips) with a fitted top can also create the illusion of a bigger backside.
- Avoid Dark-Colored Jeans, as they can make your legs and glutes look smaller, especially when paired with a lighter top. Instead, opt for white, light blue, or faded jeans.

Accentuate Your Waist. Creating a defined waist will make your glutes appear larger due to the contrast. These tips work whether you have a small or large backside:
- Wear a Belt. Find a medium or wide belt to wear around the smallest part of your waist, outside your shirt. (It looks best over a button-up shirt, sweater, or loose jacket.) For a stronger emphasis, wear a dark-colored belt over a light-colored top.
- Try a Waist Cincher. If you have a fuller waist, a waist cincher can help push excess belly fat down to your hips and glutes. This product is available in most lingerie stores.
- Avoid Wearing Horizontal Stripes Around Your Waist. Fabrics with too much detail or clashing colors highlight the belly area, making it look bigger. Instead, opt for dark, solid-colored tops. This will make your glutes appear bigger and more attractive!

Wear High Heels. High heels change the natural curve of your spine, causing both your glutes and chest to protrude more.
- To emphasize your glutes’ curve, avoid flats and choose high heels.
- If you’re unsure of this method’s effectiveness, stand in front of a mirror on the balls of your feet. Walk around a few steps, and you’ll notice how your leg and glute movements are amplified. Your legs will look more toned, and your glutes will seem higher by a few centimeters.
Apply Highlighting Techniques

Use Shaping Clothing or Padding to Enhance Your Glutes. You can wear shaping clothes that lift your glutes directly without thick padding, or use specially designed pads to enhance your glutes when wearing jeans or trousers. They are quite effective and can instantly make your glutes appear larger. Choose the right size to match your clothing and achieve the desired look.
- Some jeans come pre-padded for a lifted effect. Look for jeans or leggings with subtle padding for a more rounded appearance.
- You can even make your own pads using foam or stuffing material commonly found in pillows and comforters.

Be Cautious When Considering Buttock Surgery. Buttock augmentation surgeries, including implants, injections, or fat grafting, have grown in popularity in recent years, but the results can be highly variable. In some instances, these procedures lead to noticeably uneven buttocks as the implant material shifts and moves over time. The worst-case scenario involves serious medical complications.
- Some individuals have lost their lives after improper injections or implantations involving toxic substances. It’s essential to fully understand the potential risks before undergoing any buttock enhancement procedure.
Tips
- Don’t stop exercising once you've achieved your desired results.
- Continue exercising even after reaching your ideal physique, or your body may revert to its former shape.
- Even after achieving your goal, avoid letting your guard down.
- Don’t expect instant results. Patience is key, as it takes time to see the effects. Stay focused and persistent.
- To build your glutes, make sure your diet provides enough protein to promote muscle growth.
- Make these exercises a part of your daily routine. Once you build the habit, never stop! You can even listen to music while working out to keep motivated, and soon you'll achieve a toned, attractive body.
- Don’t skip meals, but eat the right kinds of food. Make squats a daily habit to maintain the shape you've worked hard to achieve.
- Always follow a healthy diet and never give up!
- Continue to love and appreciate your body until you reach your goals.
- Set your fitness goals and work towards them, even if it takes time. You can do it!
- Stay persistent in your goals, as they require time and effort.
Warnings
- Remember that wearing high heels regularly can cause permanent damage to your feet and knees.
- Be especially cautious when considering any type of buttock enhancement surgery.
- Building a well-developed rear requires dedication. Keep in mind that celebrities with voluptuous figures often have personal trainers, the money for surgery, and even genetic advantages to achieve such beauty.
