The best bum-sculpting TikTok leggings to fall in love with

A bum-sculpting miracle-maker, this exact pair of RIOJOY Women Anti Cellulite Gym Waffle Leggings is loved by TikTok, as well as being recommended by Molly-Mae to Olivia Neill in her YouTube video titled 'I asked influencers what to buy on Amazon'. (This is before Molly-Mae had use for some maternity leggings, which are also super chic and comfy). If that's not reason enough to click 'checkout', then we don't know what is.

These leggings feature just the right amount of compression, plus a scrunch booty design, to help you achieve that desired Brazilian silhouette. You can pick from a selection of 40 colours and patterns, too.

Amazon review: "I've had lots of these leggings from multiple sellers and can honestly say that these ones are the best so far! The scrunch bum effect is perfect and they really do hold you in and feel firm and supported. They've been worn and washed multiple times and there's no issue with colour fading etc. Definitely recommend and will order again."

Readers, you are witnessing a historical monument. These are the original leggings that went viral on TikTok back in 2020. The legendary SEASUM Waffle Texture High Waist Gym Leggings that started it all. Bum-lifting, high-waisted and insanely flattering, we want a pair in every single colour, pronto.

Amazon review: "BEST. LEGGINGS. OF. MY. LIFE! I literally cannot get over these leggings, I've worn sports leggings religiously for over 10yrs now either through training or teaching and nothing has ever compared to these! Super stretchy, comfortable, and breathable, and the contouring it does to both my wait and bum is on another level! It's ridiculous how cheap these are!

I personally always resort to black as I find this the most flattering shade, but wanted to broaden my horizons by trying grey leggings for the first time. I'm over the moon I did!!! Thanks for giving me a shaped bum after 3 months off weight training, girl has got her booty back! Would recommend it to ANYONE. I'm 5'8 and chose a size M. True to size, had a little extra legroom near my ankles."

New to scrunch bum leggings? Let us explain. These gorge SLIMBELLE Women Scrunch Butt Push-Up Gym Leggings, recommended by celebs such as Zara McDermott, have a well-positioned scrunch, making your booty appear rounder and more Kim K than ever before. They're also squat-proof, high-waisted, and come in the cutest pastel colours. It's fair to say TikTok is obsessed.

Amazon review: "These are amazing, so thick, not see-through at all. You can't see cellulite or any lumps and bumps, very smoothing and holds you in. Very flattering, I need every pair - all I would say is they run a little small but if you like a snug tight fit stay true to size. But if you have a big booty or thighs size up!"

A pair of black leggings are a wardrobe essential, and especially a pair designed to make your goods look better than ever. PLT recommend matching these butt-popping Black Ruched Bum Seamless Leggings with a "matching cropped top and chunky kicks for the ultimate sporty vibe."

Sometimes you just gotta wear some colour whilst you're exercising to keep your mood up. Although it's tempting to fill your wardrobe up with black leggings like those above, it's also crucial to have gym leggings that are just plain fun to look at. The Sweaty Betty UltraSculpt leggings sculpt and lift the bum whilst being sweat-wicking, and the "bonded waistband sculpts, supports and compresses to aid recovery post-workout."

Sweaty Betty review: "These leggings/tights are by far the best ever for sculpting and reshaping your lower body. I have purchased 2 pair of these and the 3 of the Aerial Power UltraSculpt High-Waisted Leggings. These leggings were instrumental in my recovery journey post my surgery with getting back to athletic shape. PLEASE continue to make these!!"

Our inner millennial rejects the very idea of Gen Z low-waisted trousers, and that counts for leggings too. Bring us all the high-waisted leggings, STAT. ASOS 4505 always comes through, and these leggings have specially sewn seams to accentuate your behind. The perfect running leggings that won't slip down - hallelujah.

ASOS review: "I'll always buy a pair of 4505 tights for my workouts. They make me see the future of what my body would look like if I keep going."

We're a fan of the wrap-over-waist design, shaped in a V that not only shows off that belly-piercing (or potential one, we know you're thinking about it) but also accentuates your waist and gives you that hourglass look. Adanola's option is designed without a front seam, meaning no camel toe, and comes in a bunch of chic colours such as black, olive green, dark grey and more.

heatworld review of Adanola brand: "They are beyond stretchy and flattering for starters. As a life-long lover of Lululemon Aligns, they definitely have a very similar look, but the fabrics are not the same. Think more buttery-soft like a Lululemon dupe but the Adanola leggings are lighter and feel more similar to lycra. If I had to pick, Adanolas are definitely worth it especially as Aligns go really bobbly after a while."
