Dogmatic Opinion
In modern times, it is used more to positively describe “a woman’s thick lips” than the fleshiness of her body.
Image around BETTY BOOP.
ぽっちゃり、ふっくら、など身体に使う言葉よりも、ぷっくりが近い。
“Pukkuri” is closer to “Potteri” than words used for the body such as “Pocchari” or “Fukkura”.
The difference between “Pukkuri” lips and “Potteri” lips is quite difficult to explain.
In my opinion, “Pukkuri” lips are objective and “Potteri” lips are more mature and sensual.
I don’t feel like I should say to a girl, “You have “Potteri” lips.
Proximate Expression
plump
puffy
chubby
