Kim Kardashian laughs off butt pad rumours

Los Angeles: Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian West has hit back at rumours that she wears butt pads.

The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star insists she has never needed to wear the derriere-enhancing item but admits to always wearing "shapewear", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Writing on her website, she explained: "A couple years ago, I wore a skirt in Miami that was totally sheer. I had no idea it was SO see-through on my butt. I definitely never want that to happen again, so now I always wear shapewear".

"Sometimes, they have a sheer cutout like these capris from Body Wrap, so that's actually what you're seeing in the picture at the top," she added.

She said that everyone has seen her "butt naked", so it's clear that she doesn't need them.

"So, the fact is: I don't wear butt pads! At this point, I think everyone has seen my butt naked and knows I don't need them," Kim wrote.
