Butt Glue?

Butt Glue

(Interviewed backstage at the Miss South Carolina pageant) "We use butt glue. This is my first time in swimsuit. So I thought it was like an Elmer's glue stick. It's not. It's called Firm Grip. You use baby wipes to get it off. And we have evening gown later, so we don't want our evening gowns sticking to our underwear." --Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers

Butt Glue, or De-Wedgie With a Smile

"Some girls need to get butt-glued up here [on their breasts] so that their bathing-suit top stays in place. You can't pull out your wedgies on stage, so you either spray some butt glue on your bottom or deal with it on stage. You got to do it with a smile." --A Miss South Carolina State Pageant Contestant

Butt Glue was originally popular for it's use during beauty pageants. But the glue is also practical for contests or activities such as dance or Ice Skating. It is also useful for actors in theater and film during performance, while wearing revealing or provocative outfits. In general, the product is used to prevent embarrassing or inappropriate movement of costumes during public display. The novelty of the item also makes it a popular joke gift.
