WONDERBUM; Revolutionary tights that 'lift and separate'. Byline: JANE RIDLEY THIS is the very tops in bottoms ... revolutionary new tights that will do for bums what the Wonderbra did for breasts.
The so-called Wonderbum tights are great news for millions of women cursed with the traditional British pear-shape, but who crave Jennifer Lopez's two peaches.
"They fit like a second skin and are extremely comfortable, unlike the body-shaping hosiery already on the market," says Margaret Jacobs of DuPont, the Swiss giant that developed them. The sophisticated design features built-in, opaque briefs so you don't have to wear knickers and risk a visible panty line.
Two buttock-sized circles have been cut out of the briefs in a breathable sheer fabric which gives buttocks a fuller, rounder shape.
Meanwhile, the cheeks are supported and uplifted by bands which run under the bottom's natural contours, gently separating them using white yoga pants a similar principle to the push-up bra.
The Wonderbum could be available as early as next year for about pounds 6.
