Editing Padding (section)

==To alter features==
Some padding is added to emphasize particular physical features. Women, for instance, rarely have prominent shoulders, but for some years shoulder pads have been added to women's blazers, dresses (blouses, etc.). This gave them a more masculine outline which was sometimes thought to be of benefit in business situations. Many men's blazers also have a little padding in the shoulders, but not to the same extent.

Padding can also be used to alter the silhouette or appearance of the lower half of the body. This may include a form of padding in the shape of male [[genitals]], or [[hip and buttock padding]] worn to appear curvier and create a stereotypically feminine hourglass silhouette.
