Pippa Middleton’s pretty face caught eyes at the Royal Wedding -- but another part of her anatomy made headlines too -- her butt. Now, that asset has inspired a new product -- “Pippa Padded Panties” -- and they’re coming to America. KTRK has more.

Reporter: “We first got a glimpse of Middleton’s derrier as she stood at Prince William and her sister Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding earlier this year. It has now become an Internet hit. It is one of the most Googled topics and even has its own web page, and also led to the latest craze, padded underpants. It is designed to add curves to all the right places.”

The padded panties add half an inch of removable padding to reach the desired booty size. To compare, the “Beyonce” padded underwear -- made by the same company, Feel Foxy -- has two inches.

Special work outs, shoes and even going under the knife are other tactics to achieve beautiful bums -- but the New Zealand Herald says padded panties are the way to go.

"Buying a pair of padded pants gives instant results compared to hours and hours of working hard in the gym - and costs a lot less too. It's a look we've seen on Hollywood celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, but since Pippa has moved into the media spotlight, she has propelled the desire for more junk in the trunk to new heights."

And according to Gather, Pippa’s smaller, perky bottom is a lot easier to get using underwear because it isn’t so “bootylicious.”

“Of course it's also a lot easier to achieve the perky, rounded look with padded panties than it would be to get a look like Kim Kardashian - sitting in padded panties designed in her shape would be extremely uncomfortable (like trying to balance on two beach balls), and it would require the woman wearing them to replace all her jeans to fit the underwear.”

A UK store says their Pippa Panties are outselling their regular underwear by 148 percent. Still, LimeLife points out that false advertising is a danger.
 

“Of course, there comes that awkward moment where your fake backside is discovered, but until then... pad up!”
