bulginess
State of protruding
Bulginess is the quality or state of being bulgy—having noticeable protrusions, swellings, or rounded projections.
The word describes how pronounced or prominent such outward curves are, whether on a body, a bag stuffed too full, or any surface with visible bumps.
The bulginess of his overpacked suitcase made it impossible to close.
