Alright, Let’s Talk Butts
Honestly, I bought this cream on a whim at 2 AM. I was doom-scrolling through TikTok, saw someone raving about it, and before I knew it, my credit card was out. Listen, we’ve all been there. The promise of a “peach shape” and “lifting” sounded too good to ignore, especially after a year of working from my couch. I gotta say, I was fully prepared for this to be another gimmicky bottle that ends up in my “product graveyard” under the sink.
The First Impressions Weren’t Great
Here’s the thing. When it arrived, the packaging was… fine. Nothing fancy. The cream itself is clear and has a light, almost non-existent scent, which I actually appreciated. No overpowering fake peach or floral nonsense. But the consistency threw me off. It’s not a rich cream; it’s more of a lightweight gel-cream hybrid. My first thought was, “This is it? This is going to lift anything?” I applied it skeptically after my shower.
Can you believe this? It absorbed crazy fast. Like, no residue, no stickiness. I could put my pajamas on right away. That was point number one in its favor. No one has time to stand around waiting for a cream to dry.
The One-Month, Semi-Consistent Test
I’ll be real, I missed a few days. Life happens. But I probably used it 5-6 times a week for about a month. I made a little ritual out of it with some massage techniques I half-remembered from a YouTube video. I wasn’t expecting miracles, but after about two weeks, I noticed something. My skin just felt… nicer. Smoother. Tighter? Maybe.
By the end of the month, I was convinced. It hasn’t given me a surgical BBL look—let’s be very clear about that—but the overall firmness and skin texture improvement is undeniable. The skin looks more “uplifted” and feels plumper. My partner even made an unsolicited comment about my jeans looking good, which, honestly, was all the validation I needed.
How It Stacks Up Against… Doing Nothing
I made a quick comparison chart for you lazy folks (no judgment, I am you).
| West&Month Cream | Regular Body Lotion | Just Hoping & Squats | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $20.99 | $5 – $15 | Free (until you need new gym clothes) |
| Key Stuff Inside | Glycerin, Collagen, Vitamin C | Moisturizers, Fragrance | Determination, Protein Shakes |
| Texture & Feel | Light gel, absorbs instantly | Can be greasy, takes time | Sweaty, requires a shower |
| The “Firm & Lift” Effect | Noticeable skin firmness & improved elasticity | Basic hydration only | Long-term muscle building, zero skincare |
So yeah, it’s not a basic lotion, and it’s not exercise. It’s a targeted skincare product for your butt. Who knew that was a thing we needed?
My Gripes (Because Nothing’s Perfect)
Okay, let’s air the dirty laundry. First, the bottle. It’s not huge. If you’re using it twice daily on both cheeks, you’ll go through it faster than you’d like. I wish it came in a bigger size or a subscription discount.
Second, you HAVE to massage it in properly and be consistent. This isn’t a magic wand. If you slap it on like sunscreen and call it a day, you’re wasting your money. It works with the massage to stimulate circulation. I learned that the hard way for the first week.
Final, Non-Expert Verdict
I’m binge-watching Netflix way too much to ever get a perfect peach from squats alone. So for me, this cream is a legit helper. It made my skin look and feel significantly better—tighter, smoother, and yes, a bit more shaped. It’s not going to replace the gym or give you instant Kardashian-level results, but as a firming and toning skincare product? It absolutely works.
If you have realistic expectations and are willing to put in the 60 seconds of massage, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It’s now a permanent resident on my bathroom shelf, right next to my toothpaste.
