In her video, Ruby held up the back of the shorts to show off the on-trend detailing on the bum, enthusiastically saying, "Look at the scrunch on that, and the colour is so nice. They also have a coral, a white, and a black." She added, "These snatch you in," pointing out the waistline, "she's thick, and she is just amazing."

Ruby wrapped up her TikTok with a hefty endorsement: "These are so nice, seriously, while you can, go and purchase these from Kmart because I am in love."

Her excitement was echoed in the comments section, with one person writing, "Kmart really is popping off and they're not slowing down!"

"These are my favourite!!!! I have them in every colour!" one user exclaimed. Another pointed out a key feature, "They don't have a front seam either," punctuated with a fire emoji.

The love for the shorts kept coming with comments like: "Imma get me some," and "I got them last night and I am obsessed with them," flooding in.

However, a few users offered some cautionary advice. One commenter noted, "Be careful with them though, I had 2 pairs that I used for work a couple of times and they both split up the ass."
