DD (9mo) has a huge cloth bum, I tend to put her in leggings or tights, or tracksuit bottoms. Am trying to buy some clothes off ebay but without knowing what brands have larger waistbands its a bit difficult. I know that Next are no good as the waistbands are always too tight and the rise too low, even in a size up. Any suggestions that I could look out for? I don't want to spend a fortune.

I always found the supermarket brands bigger than average.

And DD had a lovely line in skirts and dresses to show off her lovely nappies, too

Polarn o pyret are generous (or were anyway)

I think there's a company called Cloth Bottoms who make specially cut trousers as well

Frugi (used to be called Cut4Cloth), GreenBaby organic clothing, Polarn o Pyret - all expensive new but plenty on ebay.

H&M do some nice soft cord trousers with a massively wide foldover soft waistband and a big bum.

These aren't exactly trousers but they are great over cloth nappies.

Apart from H&M, I don't really find any other high street shops much good tbh.

Or have you looked at wool longies? Not cheap, but trousers and nappy wrap all in one, gorgeously cosy, and v pretty

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll have a look on ebay and see what I can find.

Queen the leggings/tights on that ebay link look really cute - I'm assuming you've got some, are they like tights or like leggings? I think I'll rule myself out of wool longies as I don't want to get into faffing about with lanolising.

They are tights material but very thick and warm - DS has some and wears them instead of trousers. They are extremely very cute

I have those ebay leggings and they are fab. People always comment on how cute their bums look with the pattern on them.
