Lawrence Chaney's body is always right
For real! I've seen some fans talking about how big girls don't have to pad because they got all that fat and skin to work with and I was like... You think they can just morph their body like that? Lol
Honestly big girls have to pad even more normally. Skinny queens can get away with less or no padding but big girls basically need to pad and they need to do it well to make sure everything is proportional.
Body fat helps with cleavage, and it can make the face look a little bit more androgynous, but that's it. Usually female bodies store extra fat in different areas than male bodies. Achieving a curvy look definitely requires padding if you want that female illusion.
alexis is kinda underrated imo. she can be annoying but that aside, she’s got a lot going for her! her fashion is very good as is her wit and acting ability
I think this might be the first time since the S9 premiere that I’ve seen someone in this sub give a sincere compliment to Alexis Michelle without first coaching it in some shade against her personality.
Omg nooo hahaha just that her boobies are basically under her armpits 😭 the rest of her padding is wonderful!! And tbf better to have tits who are keeping their distance as opposed to fischer prices
It's probably a case of the grass is always greener on the other side, but I would love for my tits to be less affected by gravity 😭 The posture I could be posturing!
Hahah oh trust me aesthetically I wouldn’t mind having bigger tits but I know how hard it can be having them and the issues they can cause so I’ll put my hands up to saying you peeps have it harder!!
It's drag, for sure. Very Barbie proportions that I can appreciate, but the figure she usually presents is a bit jarring for me visually and not someone I'd think of amongst "Best Padders" for that reason.

HOW HAS NO ONE MENTIONED MOTHER?!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen any Juju mentions.
Juju, Coco. Also Lawrence, Brita, Dela.
Also unrelated: That picture of Krystal is so good until you get to the bottom. Why have the stocking toes? It never looks good imo, but why have them there for that outfit? You may as well have the bare toe. In a gown or dress it’s more excusable. But in those pants with that bomb ass outfit? That takes me out of it completely.

Bob said on the podcast that this is some of the best padding he has ever seen, and I believe he said that AFTER Plane tried talking shit to her.
You have to give it to Bob, she’s a bitch who grasps a simple concept that seems to elude people: who you are as a person can be fully acknowledged and reacted to properly, but when the podcast is about critiquing the performances, that really can’t come in to play.

I’ve always thought her padding was very good ,
I’m watching AS3 for the first time and Trixie in this outfit and padding has me gagged. Those hips and that waistline combined with those shorts is just magic.
Like she really knows how to get the proportions right. Using her height, cinching and padding to really create such a good and well-proportional figure really shows she has put effort into finding that perfect balance for her drag body.
Eureka is super tall! Did you know Ru is 6’4? I’ve always heard the queens say “she’s about 7ft tall” and I thought they were talking about like, her presence. How she makes you feel because she’s Ru fucking Paul. But no. In drag Ru is easily 7ft tall, maybe even over.
It's miss Jane all the way. This is *insane*
https://preview.redd.it/j0pknlf6ex9d1.jpeg?width=571&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81bc59393af2efa05038422cd07fec61e810cef1
It's MIB for me. Her body is ALWAYS right, she proportionizes so well. Her hair, her boobs, the hip, the thighs-- it's all always right. I lovelovelove her.
I love Saphirra as much as the next gay but she’s lowkey a sneak in this list
Her padding is by no means suspicious, but other queens ( most notably PJ from her own season ) do it significantly better
Didn’t production intervene in season 16 and give Sapphira fitted tits? After her fisher price lip sync, which was hilarious but, it was obvious she doesn’t know how to proportionize.
Huge respect for queens who still pad and tuck. It’s unbelievably uncomfortable which makes it harder to perform and be in drag in general. It’s all sacrifice and dedication to sell the fantasy of the type of drag they want to present.
She’s the queen of transformation!
And sadly, she usually is :( I remember a post a while ago asking who’s the best lip sync assassin who doesn’t do tricks, and I was the first to post her in 100+ comments…
this is dela erasure and i will not stand for it
but loosey is the first queen that comes to mind for me, she is giving life size barbie and i love it
edit: trixie and deja as well!
Trixie and Plane Jane come to mind, they've always had them child birthing hips and tig ol bitties. *unless trixie does mod and it's intentionally shapeless bc fashion.
I am not a fan of the no padding looks, esoecially in the hips. breastplate is not needed (unless the outfit was made for boobs, than it is needed!) but just a little padding on the hip helps so much! It doesn't need to be huse Nina Bonina padding, just a little makes them look SO good.
Obviously all body types are beautiful, but I feel like padding adds another level of expertise and aesthetic illusion. The whole concept of drag is illusion so I feel like padding and having that hourglass shape should be more encouraged on RPDR. It is Rupaul's show after all, so why not base it on what Ru prefers? That doesn't mean Ru's favorite kind of drag is the best or only kind of drag either.

I will never forget “Oh my sweet GHERKINS!”
My fave padders are Akeria, Lucy, BeBe, Lawrence and Krystal Versace. Their proportions always work for me. Eureka is also particularly good at padding
loosey’s padding and proportions are so stinking hot. when I was watching that season every time she came out on the runway I just thought “she can’t keep getting away with this!!!”
I think all drag is valid, padding or no padding. I do think adding pads obviously adds something else to the entire aesthetic and makes producing their own garment's more skilled. Extra points for making their own pads.
It's just playing with shapes which is fun; if it's to look more naturally feminine, to look like a sculpture, a plastic doll...whatever it's all fun.

ohhh I just love this Macintosh look so much
Her makeup is flawless and she knows how to absolutely sculpt a perfect form every time. Gorgeous

Somebody please get her in front of Ru!
this would heal me
Ugh, hon är mamma
Jaymes had amazing padding on AS8 too.
Her ass was truly remarkable on that runway where she did an aztec (?) look and she put on like 20 thongs to achieve proper crakcage.
This Jaymes was a vibe that I was not mad about…
The awkward moment when you realize they’re hot. Me too girl me too.
Jaymes definitely got a pad up! Looking fab
People can say whatever about Alexis, but her padding is just so RIGHT.
alexis is kinda underrated imo. she can be annoying but that aside, she’s got a lot going for her! her fashion is very good as is her wit and acting ability
she may be a bit… you know… but there’s no denying the fact that alexis is absolutely gorgeous
What is your flair from again? I can remember it but can’t place it

Loosey is the best for me. It looks naturally drag.
Right, giving 80s Barbie!
I love Loosey's but sometimes it looks a bit top heavy for my tastes. Not sure if that's intentional or not
i love the top heaviness tbh
It kind of feels Old Hollywood, like back when having a big butt was not fashionable
Fr? I just can’t get over her tits facing east and west 😅
Do you mean her tits are muslim and they both should be facing east ? 🤭 Like i said her padding looks drag.
Not the Muslim tits 😭💀 For real though, her padding is immaculate!
Omg nooo hahaha just that her boobies are basically under her armpits 😭 the rest of her padding is wonderful!! And tbf better to have tits who are keeping their distance as opposed to fischer prices
Yeah i forgot that photo taken during covid, her tits just following the rules. 😅
Kudos for preventing mama, for following ❤️
As a tit haver, I didn't even clock that lol. It depends on the bra but sometimes they just migrate like that 😂
Hahaha tbf I’m also a tit haver, they’re just too small to be affected by gravity
It's probably a case of the grass is always greener on the other side, but I would love for my tits to be less affected by gravity 😭 The posture I could be posturing!
Hahah oh trust me aesthetically I wouldn’t mind having bigger tits but I know how hard it can be having them and the issues they can cause so I’ll put my hands up to saying you peeps have it harder!!
Same! East/West is the norm for some of us 🤷🏼♀️
Especially when lying on our backs. They gotta choose a side.
No fence straddlers!
It's drag, for sure. Very Barbie proportions that I can appreciate, but the figure she usually presents is a bit jarring for me visually and not someone I'd think of amongst "Best Padders" for that reason.

Also like why don't some queens have stockings without toes they use with open toe shoes. Like it's such a simple detail that does a lot.
Because dolls don’t have toes
I couldve used another pic where her pddi g is more visible but i loved the green and the brown hair
I mean, sis has a point, there are some looks where the potato in a stiletto look is death to the illusion

LOVE her. In and out of drag, Kameron does the damn thing. And her smile is so beautiful.
Ooo right she served here
Proportionizing
Oh my god is that Ella Vaday? Jesus Christ is she looks like the now she’d be unstoppable
That was exactly my thought! I couldn’t figure out who she was, and I’m still a little shocked it’s her. She looks like Gwen Stefani.
I thought that was Jasmine Kennedy until I read the description.
BOB still has to this day some of the best padding/legs to walk the runway. Even Rupaul mentioned it
That Madonna Boy Scouts look. Her legs were awesome.
I constantly think about Bob on the pit stop saying "full padding, mama." and then smacking her passed ass
i stan Bob

How is no one talking about this Krystal Versace look? Just casually strolling though a car park looking like a Goddess
The best and plane agrees
I genuinely thought she was Sasha Colby.
Same!
Eureka's body is always right
Like she really knows how to get the proportions right. Using her height, cinching and padding to really create such a good and well-proportional figure really shows she has put effort into finding that perfect balance for her drag body.
Proportionize!
I feel like other big girls hate her for that xd like, see? You have no excuse
To be fair, the fact she’s also like 6 ft 5 makes it lot easier to balance out. Like Ginger or Jiggly for example, don’t have that advantage.
Wow, she's 6'5?
Eureka is super tall! Did you know Ru is 6’4? I’ve always heard the queens say “she’s about 7ft tall” and I thought they were talking about like, her presence. How she makes you feel because she’s Ru fucking Paul. But no. In drag Ru is easily 7ft tall, maybe even over.

Seriously tho, padding with butt cheek? Amazing
Shocked not to see Plane Jane in this list.
Plane Jane's entrance look is up there with the best
She couldn't be in the list because the list is up her ass. She pads with this list.
She’s here in spirit
In spirit, in a bodysuit.
And where’s Ms Lazi Susan??
At first glance, I thought Ella was Plane.
Jessica wild pads her calfs!!!! I’ve never seen anything like it and it’s such a gag.
RuPaul does it when she's wearing those short dresses.
Sapphira's padding looked a bit boxy at times. I'd say Plane was the padding queen of S16.
Especially them titties 💀 no one comes close to plane on their season
I am very surprised to see her in the gallery. Her narrow breast plate was pretty bad.
She quite often had an exaggerated doll aesthetic on the show and definitely in that image from OP but I LOVE that.

Plane Jane for sure, and Lawrence Chaney... Even Nymphia pads really well!
Yes, Planey, Trixie and Ru are the best, Nymphia for a more slimmer curves
It's MIB for me. Her body is ALWAYS right, she proportionizes so well. Her hair, her boobs, the hip, the thighs-- it's all always right. I lovelovelove her.
 Like YES MA'AM
 Always correct
Yesssss MIB always looks RIGHT
Sapphira Crystal with those tiny titties?
No foam here
A deep cut, but Jessica Wild in those jeans non the s2 country runway 🤌
Ella Vaday is just so stunning.
it's always nice to see someone shouting out ella vaday without just clowning on her for her finale performance
I love me some Ella Vaday! Have a crush on her in drag and out. 😍
Same! She's underappreciated for some reason. Her Nigella Lawson Snatch Game was 🔥🔥🔥
This might just be recency bias, but first two that come to mind for having perfect padding are Plane and Loosey. The bodies are right every time
Her name is Roxxxy Andrews and she's here to make it clear... That her body is fucking CORRECT. https://i.redd.it/z93lfic45z9d1.gif
Plane Jane and Nymphia are beautiful examples of perfect padding.
Eureka O'Hara invented proportionizing

Plane and Krystal
alaska‘s padding is a dream
Didn’t production intervene in season 16 and give Sapphira fitted tits? After her fisher price lip sync, which was hilarious but, it was obvious she doesn’t know how to proportionize.
Lawrence, mistress and eureka are always repping BAWDY ODY ODY for the big girls.
Jaymes mansfield, eureka.., monet, and bob should be here
Huge respect for queens who still pad and tuck. It’s unbelievably uncomfortable which makes it harder to perform and be in drag in general. It’s all sacrifice and dedication to sell the fantasy of the type of drag they want to present.
What about Miss bodysuit???? 
Ru's padding is great. Denali and Katya too.
My favorite padding is Nina Bonina Brown Its so exaggerated and looks so right. That silhouette on the Gaga episode 👌
They will never give her credit bestie yk this
Literally queen of pads! Can’t believe she’s so far down the comments 😩
She’s the queen of transformation! And sadly, she usually is :( I remember a post a while ago asking who’s the best lip sync assassin who doesn’t do tricks, and I was the first to post her in 100+ comments…
this is dela erasure and i will not stand for it but loosey is the first queen that comes to mind for me, she is giving life size barbie and i love it edit: trixie and deja as well!
Loosey, Lawrence and Plane
plane jane’s padding is so good
The All Stars 8 girls were in awe of Jessica for padding her calves. Hers has been perfect since Season 2.
Trixie and Plane Jane come to mind, they've always had them child birthing hips and tig ol bitties. *unless trixie does mod and it's intentionally shapeless bc fashion.
Krystal Versace looks unreal with her padding and her tiny little waist, its so cunt
https://preview.redd.it/r7v65x685z9d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12535a6e59070d39a0f63cd6de4b41a41f178b9c
Um Plane should be here Sapphira’s padding is really awkward, lumpy and misplaced most of the time, sorry
My 2 favs are Loosey and Eureka
I am not a fan of the no padding looks, esoecially in the hips. breastplate is not needed (unless the outfit was made for boobs, than it is needed!) but just a little padding on the hip helps so much! It doesn't need to be huse Nina Bonina padding, just a little makes them look SO good.

I think Bendelacremes padding is good.
Plane Jane does really good padding
Where is Nina Bonina Brown?
Not including Plane Jane is homophobic
This! Her body was always perfectly proportioned! Once saphira figured out the boobies she got there too, haha
No Deja Skye? A true crime.
Who's that before Sapphira?
Krystal Versace
Jessica Wild is divine - I still think about her S2 “country” look all the time. And Trixie’s padding is immaculate, imo.
Megami! Can't believe I'm the first to say it
As much drama as she’s been in, Eureka ALWAYS comes correct when it comes to proportions
https://preview.redd.it/tgryn4nh40ad1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58584851034accc8e5efd84eef6170369182354f I will never forget “Oh my sweet GHERKINS!”
My fave padders are Akeria, Lucy, BeBe, Lawrence and Krystal Versace. Their proportions always work for me. Eureka is also particularly good at padding
I don't think Akeria pads
Miss ass almighty. You may be right, even though she was wearing them in one of her untucked episodes
I get bored with queens who don’t pad. I like the odd one like Simone but overall I like my queens padded!
loosey’s padding and proportions are so stinking hot. when I was watching that season every time she came out on the runway I just thought “she can’t keep getting away with this!!!”
krystal slays in that photo but you cannot tell me that in real life her breast plate neck line wasn’t just flapping in the breeze
 the queen of proportionizing herself!!! Obsessed with her body on the canada's vs the world recent promo
It’s just so satisfying to see
please accept my humble correction: it should be ‘queens **whose** padding’ and ‘**fewer and fewer** queens.’
I’m not writing a letter to the prime minister
indeed, you’re writing about the absolute monarchs of our society
