...at
last!!
It's
not often that Positive Lives endorses a product to its
readers, but we felt that this was one well worth sharing with those
people who have suffered the dreaded wrath of lipodystrophy. This condition
is associated with some anti-viral combinations.
One of the effects of this condition is the relocation of certain types
of body fat which can result in facial wasting (see page 3) and the
loss of the fat around your bottom, particularly in men. The results
are not only a loss of self-esteem around your physical appearance,
but the lack of "cushioning" tissue around the derriere can
make sitting down for anything other than very short periods very uncomfortable.
This simple product, basically a pair of men's boxer-briefs which contain
removable pads, can bring relief to it's wearers from both problems.

One
of our more infamous service users has been using a product similar
to this one (called "The Bottom Bra") for about 6 years and
swears by the effects, both cosmetically and in terms of comfort. Unfortunately,
although many other service users have enquired to him as to where to
buy them, he was unable to help them as his particular brand seemed
to have gone out of production about 4 years ago. However, help is now
at hand since Positive Lives did a search on the internet
and found a product almost identical, and in some ways improved.
Butt For You Inc.'s website (www.buttforyou.com)
contains all the information you need to know about this amazingly simple,
yet practical aid to those in need.
You can order the briefs over the web (they can only accept American
Express or VISA from the UK) and they even have a special offer on at
the moment if you buy three or more pairs!.
Available in white or black, sized S/M/L, these brushed cotton (95%)
& Lycra (5%) briefs come with two sets of pads, "slim line"
and "regular", which means they are able to assist in both
mild and advanced cases of this condition.
The website says "We saw a need in the marketplace
for a masculine, natural appearing garment designed to augment an area
when mother nature had been a little stingy". It goes on
to say "It not only conforms, but also adapts
to the natural movements of your body, and gives you a butt instead
of a bump."
When Positive Lives asked the infamous service user about
using this kind of product he said "As daft as it seems, this
was a major turning point in my getting back to "normal" after
the effects of my drug therapies. It not only restored my confidence
when going out to clubs and bars, but made it possible for me to attend
long meeting which were practically physically impossible before".
The website currently has a special offer where if you buy 3 or more
pairs they work out at just under £12 each, though, because they
are being sent from Canada, the extra postage pushes the price up to
about £16 per pair (based on 3 pairs). Maybe you could get together
with a couple of friends and place an order, and then all go and boogie
the night away with your newly acquired bum!
