In a video, Joanne said: "My a*se is like a deflated whoopee cushion. Have I got the right people continuing to watch? Hopefully so."
Now she was speaking to people with the same weight loss problem, Joanne added: "My a*se has collapsed.
"It's picked up and it's left. I've lost four stone and it's goodbye, see you later."
Joanne said she had been told by multiple people to try the Halara leggings and finally caved in.
The leggings are specifically made to lift the bum and flatten the stomach with their ultrasculpt material.
And the leggings which cost £22 on the TikTok shop are loved by many with a rating of 4.5 out of five.
Even Joanna was a fan of the leggings as she put them on in the video and showed how they transformed her 'deflated whhoopee cushion' bum.
She said: "They lift and sculpt everything and just keep it where it should be. It's like a scaffold for your bum."
Joanne was thrilled with the leggings which gave her bum a lift with no squats and sucked her tummy in.
She added: "But if you're going to get them, which I suggest you do, make sure you have them in a variety of colours because when you go back to regular leggings, you're just going to be very disappointed."

One person wrote: "You're looking amazing."
Another commented: "Oh I need these."

Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Mine is sliding down my legs!"
"That happened to me, I lost 3 stone and my a*se fainted,' claimed a fifth

I earn £100,000 a year but don't feel rich - I've downgraded to PureGym and holidays in Europe, ditched M&S groceries and only eat out once a week
A Gen Z professional who earns £100,000 a year insists that, despite having no dependents to care for, he doesn't 'feel rich at all'. Jack Kim, 28, works as a strategy consultant and brings home around £6,000 a month after tax but calls himself a 'HENRY' – which stands for 'high earners not rich yet'. HENRYs are young people in the UK's top 10 per cent of earners who say they are left with little at the end of the month after bills, taxes and lifestyle inflation. Living in central London in a two-bedroom property he bought with his partner for £550,000, Jack – who covers all their expenses – says he is feeling the cost of living. His monthly expenses include £2,630 on his mortgage payment and council tax, £420 in bills, £250 on groceries and £400 for socialising. Jack claims he's had to adjust his lifestyle due to cost-of-living – ditching a weekly M&S shop for Sainsbury's, having to swap luxury holidays in Asia for European mini breaks and opting for Pure Gym instead of the more expensive chain Gymbox. Jack, from East London, said: 'Even though I'm on a six-figure salary, I don't feel rich at all. Jack pays £2,630 a month for the mortgage and council tax on the two-bedroom flat he shares with his partner 'Everyone knows living in London is extremely expensive. 'It comes to four main things – higher tax rate for people on six-figure salaries, higher living costs, lifestyle inflation and debt. 'As income rises, so does your lifestyle. 'I don't wear flashy, high-end clothes or own expensive watches, I opt for high street brands like Uniqlo. 'We try and live below our means by limiting eating out to once a week at a good quality restaurant. 'Other than a drink at special occasions like weddings, I don't drink alcohol, which is very expensive. 'We feel the cost of living just like anyone else. I don't feel upper-middle class.' Jack sends £500 a month to his parents in South Korea and after all his expenses are paid, he's left with about £320 which goes on clothes, one-off expenses such as gifts or saving for a holiday. After graduating from the London School of Economics with a bachelor's and master's degree in management in 2019 – which cost £99,000 in tuition fees – Jack began his career as a strategy consultant on a £21,000 salary. He quickly progressed to £45,000 and began saving for a £82,000 deposit to buy a property with his partner. 'We collectively needed roughly £82,000 for a deposit, and we did that in two years with some help from our parents,' Jack said. 'It meant we stopped eating out and primarily cooked at home. During that time, it was Covid which did help because it meant we weren't spending as much or travelling at all.' And in December 2021, Jack and his partner got on to the property ladder, purchasing their two-bedroom flat. 'Being on a combined income helped us for sure, but alongside our own drive and determination,' he added. 'I can only imagine how hard it is for young people to get on the property ladder now. Especially if they're single and doing it alone. 'Affordability and the goalposts for a mortgage have changed – even in the last four years. Despite getting several pay rises since the start of his career, the 28-year-old doesn't feel it's made a big difference to his lifestyle 'It's not affordable to get a mortgage these days – unless you have generational wealth. 'Growing up, my family and I were considered a lower-income family. From the ages of seven to eight, my mum, dad, brother and I lived in a studio flat in Seoul, South Korea. 'Since gaining my education and career in London, I'd say as a whole, my family are middle class. But we certainly don't feel it in the grand scheme of things. 'I don't have an expensive watch or a car. No luxury yacht or Monaco, St Moritz holidays like my friends who are bankers. 'Consulting is an industry where you can see fast income growth. Even though my income has increased, our lifestyle hasn't changed that much.'
