Amazon’s viral Seasum leggings review – do they really have butt-sculpting super powers?

EVERYONE on the internet is filming their reactions to a certain pair of leggings from Amazon. They’re meant to make your bum look good enough to cause a stir.

I decided that the best-selling, honeycomb-textured Seasum leggings from Amazon need to be tested, to see whether the thousands of butt-sculpting and lifting try-on videos out there are true. So, before you jump on the bandwagon, here’s my review.

Pros

Are Amazon’s Seasum leggings worth it?

• SEASUM Honeycomb High Waist Gym Leggings, from £12.99 on Amazon UK and $11.99 on Amazon US –

After seeing countless videos all over TikTok and Instagram, I was intrigued to try out Amazon’s Seasum leggings to see whether I would get Jordyn Woods-level results out of them.

From the huge range of styles, I picked pink and black tie-dye, as it’s a quirky design that I hadn’t seen before – the colour was just as vibrant in real life, and the waffle-textured fabric was oh-so soft, giving them full marks for quality at a bargain price.

I was apprehensive whether they’d be too big, as I’m tall and size 10-12 (6-8 in the US) so opted for a large, but they came on easily and comfortably. However, unfortunately, I wasn’t as blown away by my butt in them as so many TikTokers seemed to be.

They’re really well-fitting, flexible leggings and my butt felt shaped thanks to the cinching at the back, just not as dramatically as I had expected from the swarm of social media fanatics. If I had gone for a medium, it likely would have been a different story as reviews say to go for your true size for full sculpting impact.

Something else I have to mention is that they’re not particularly warm as the fabric is thinner than some leggings on the market. The quality honeycomb fabric ensures that they aren’t see-through at all though, and they can’t be faulted for comfort.

Also, FYI, these probably aren’t leggings you’ll want to wear to the gym as they do make you feel a little bit like you’re naked. You’ll probably land some great #belfies all the same.

Are Amazon’s Seasum leggings good for a workout?

• SEASUM Honeycomb High Waist Gym Leggings, from £12.99 on Amazon UK and $11.99 on Amazon US –

It’s no secret that Amazon’s Seasum leggings have gained traction solely for making your bum look good, but everyone’s ignoring the actual purpose for stretch, moisture-wicking leggings: exercising.

I wore these for my yoga practice, and I can officially say that they’re perfect for stretching and flexing in, staying securely in place and allowing loads of flexibility.

From the breathable stretch to the high-waist, you feel supported throughout your exercise routine – I expect that they would work well for a HIIT workout too as they’re cut from quick-drying, strong compression fabric.

How do Amazon’s Seasum leggings lift your butt?

The back of Amazon’s Seasum leggings is cut in a V-cut hip line design which promises to give you a three-dimensional shape, accentuating your butt cheeks.

There is also ruching around the top, with the high waist helping to sculpt your silhouette, pulling in your waist for a smooth, close-fitting shape.

I’m not sure if the honeycomb texture adds a little oomph too, but it sure feels nice to wear.

How do the honeycomb leggings work?

The rib of honeycomb leggings means that they’re not only less see-through, but also designed to hide away dimples and cellulite.

Basically, they’re a way of concealing “imperfections”, giving you a smooth look that’s super flattering.

If you think leggings are unflattering then you definitely haven’t tried honeycomb styles.

Are Seasum leggings squat proof?

From my experience, I’d say yes – especially the tie-dye styles because even if they were see-through, the print would give the illusion that they’re not.

Honeycomb texture definitely helps make leggings squat proof.

Despite the thin fabric, you can squat as much as you like in these without worrying about a knicker-slip.

Is Seasum a good brand?

Seasum is a great brand for shopping for affordable gym, yoga and sportswear.

Obviously, there are higher quality brands on the market but for the price you pay, you can’t really fault it.

Shopping Seasum on Amazon is the best way to avoid the $8.99 shipping fee that the official site charges.

Are there other types of butt-lifting leggings on Amazon?

Seasum is one of the most-searched brands for the famous scrunch-butt leggings. However, there are other popular brands with styles that offer the same sculpting impact, available on Amazon too.

RXRXCOCO, Fittoo and Riojoy are among the bunch of Amazon names jumping on the honeycomb-textured, bum-lifting legging wave. We haven’t tried them (yet) but here they are:
