Thousands of cheeky globetrotters are sharing their bare bums snaps on Instagram
Instagram page Cheeky Exploits is now up to 278,000 followers and features bottoms from all over the world
THOUSANDS of cheeky globetrotters have been baring their bums at beauty spots around the world, and sharing their shots to Instagram.
The woman behind Instagram account Cheeky Exploits, who wishes to remain anonymous, has revealed that the craze has left her with dozens of strangers' bottoms in her inbox every day.
Cheeky, from London, said: "I absolutely never expected to have a following like this. I only started it as a cheeky joke with my husband and friends.
"It took about eight months to get a thousand followers, as it was mostly friends for a long time, then the media picked it up and it just went crazy!
"I get butts from all over the world and from all kinds of butts. I post most of them but I have about 1,000 in my inbox I haven't even gotten to, so it takes time!"
The hugely popular Cheeky Exploits page now has more than 278,000 followers.
Despite containing an online gallery of hundreds of backsides from all over the world, only a handful of bottoms have outraged Instagram users enough to report them as inappropriate.
Cheeky, whose husband takes on the role of photographer when she wants to flash, hopes that the page will help body confidence and be a positive platform for people to feel liberated.
"I set up the account after a friend showed me another account where a guy took naked pictures of himself all over the world," she explained.
"I always thought flashing was funny, so I started one about butts.
"The only ones I don't post are the ones that are poor quality, or too sexual. It wasn't diverse as first because I just wasn't getting diverse submissions, but I'm happy to say that has changed!
"A lot of people write me to say they sent it because my page gave them the confidence to just be free and empowered.
"I've thankfully only had a few photos removed because they were reported!
"All butts are beautiful to me and all butts are also funny! My husband is super supportive and is my main photographer.
"He loves it and always helps me get away with my antics!"
One punter commented: “People who follow this account for only women’s butts, or perfect airbrushed butts, are not at all in the spirit of cheeky exploits!
