Flat-bottomed mum Sally Windsor, 44, has tried ‘fake bum’ pants to see if they are worth investing in. She's pictured here without the underwear.

Sally, pictured with the shapers on, hates her bottom, and hopes the pants will save her a fortune on implants. Here's her bottom line on the boosting knickers.

I am not sold on this pair. They feel more restrictive but I think that’s more the material they are made from – polyester and elastane.
