Knickers with a wide gusset please!

Anyone know where I can get some decent post-partum pants with a wide gusset? For wearing in the early days after the birth with a view to chucking away pretty soon! Most of the knickers I have seen have a gusset too narrow to contain the enormous maternity pads I've bought.

What's everyone else doing?

Buy an enormous (like massively gigantic big size) rather than your usual ones. I find the gussets are then much bigger, although they are a bit baggy around the back. My mum bought me some GIGANTIC ones from the market stall,and I wore them for first two weeks until bleeding calmed down. Very sexy...NOT

I have some monsters from Asda which I hope will do the trick. Used to wear a size 12 but have bought some 18s to a) cover my newly massive arse / hips, and b) accommodate the pads - I'm hoping they'll do the trick, but to be honest I'm new to this, so I could be wrong! Good luck... x

M&S Outstanding Value Full Briefs! I could only find them in white, not ideal, but the gusset is significantly wider than any other knickers I've seen. I'm a 10 pre-pregnancy but have bought these in a 16. Don't plan to keep them long!
