Kim Kardashian West laughs off butt pad rumours

Kim Kardashian West has laughed off rumours she uses 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".

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.

"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, LOL! (sic)"

And the 35-year-old television personality previously revealed she spends two hours on her beauty routine every day.

Speaking about the daily process, she said: "I thought you guys might like a little peek into my daily glam routine. I do make-up and hair for about two hours every day! It’s actually a great time for me to catch up on work emails, take some calls and see what you guys are up to on social media."

And Kim – who has North, three, and six-month-old Saint with her husband Kanye West – donned a full face of make up when she gave birth to her eldest child.

Speaking previously about her make-up routine for when she went into labour, she said: "I think right now it’s more about nontouring, like real skin with less make-up on it. I’m trying to wear less. My husband loves me without make-up. For my first baby I gave birth in full make-up, but none for my second."
