The internet’s favorite but lift leggings have a reputation for making butts look extra peach-y. The ruched leggings by Seasum are among the most searched for online, with their honeycomb texture promised to give even the flattest of derrieres a boost—no squats required. But can a pair of $38 leggings really deliver on their promise to make your behind look like a juicy peach?

To test the claim, Reviewed enlisted the help of a few clothing and textiles pros. As it turns out, the 3D-peach-butt leggings can make your behind look a little rounder—but that’s not necessarily due to their texture, as you might think. Instead, the experts point to strategic ruching on the leggings’ back waistband. “Ruching is common on swimwear and other activewear to create a curvier appearance,” one expert notes.

You’ll be able to find similar ruched leggings from brands such as Yummie and Lululemon, and many of them come in multiple colors, including some fun tie-dye options. The squat-friendly pants are sweat-wicking, moisture-absorbing, and stretchy enough to support high-intensity workouts.

But you may want to be cautious about the hype when it comes to leggings that claim to sculpt your body—especially if you’re plus-sized. As we saw in the viral TikTok videos, these leggings may not be a fix for all bodies, and celebrating them as a one-size-fits-all solution can reinforce the notion that some leggings are better than others. Fortunately, there are plenty of other options that can flatter your curves and fit comfortably, too.
