Losing weight yet still buy same size pants, is it just me?

[LadyMountbatten]

I still buy a size 14 even though am a 12 maybe a 10.

WHY
i did let my hand HOVER over the 12s but the fear of chafing....
People who have lost loads - is this The Final Frontier?

I always buy size 12 knickers and am generally a size 8 in clothes - I don't like knickers to dig in.

But hey mrs skinny size 10!

[piratecat]

i find that i like mine loose so buy bigger.

I am a 12-14 but bought some 16's at M&S the other day, had a good look about and they seemed roomy. Nope. grrr

I find most pants come up small. When i was bigger, a 16 i sometimes had to buy size 20. What do people do if they are a size 20, i never see pants go any bigger than that. Ridiculous.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Cotton knickers also seem to shrink but that could just be me.

[FurryDogMother]

I'm still wearing my size 22 knickers (Bonmarché's best! lol) even though I'm now a 12/14. When I say 'wearing' I mean it in the loosest possible sense (literally) as they now tend to fall off if unsupported by leggings or something over the top. I like loose knickers, and have been avoiding buying smaller ones - somehow I don't feel ready for them, but the psychology behind that escapes me right now. Maybe I just like seeing the evidence of the weight loss? I dunno...

[LadyMountbatten]

Oh god. Only if I breathe in. And not tits obv.

[LadyMountbatten]

Ooh I could never do 16. I'm sure tbh a 12 would chafe.

It's only h expressing surprise at the 14 that made me think twice.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Now you're really showing off - big boobs and skinny body

[LadyMountbatten]

Lol. You'd think.

We titters don't see it that way. #afflicted

For me the last thing to go (today in fact) were by bras, I had got pants relatively quickly as they are easy to chuck in with the shopping when I go round Sainsburys!

[noddyholder]

I hate too small knickers but am still scared of the 12 laughing me out of the bedroom so I buy 14s. Although dp bought me some fancy knickers i had been coveting and he got a 12 and I was dreading putting on but they fit. Agree re skinny with boobs its no picnic you are always one accessory away from barmaid

I think there is another measurement which comes into play, how far they come up at the back. Still wearing size 16 even though dropped to a 12-14.

[scarlet76]

I lost weight a couple of years ago, going from a 10-12 to a 6-8. It is only in the last few months that I have finally started buying size 8 knickers!

[LadyMountbatten]

snigger at laughing 12s

[LadyMountbatten]

SURELY they cant stull buy 20s

[LadyMountbatten]

[Ledkr]

Oh I do love my big knickers. I've also lost weight but if I wear smaller pre pg knickers they roll down over my lower tummy flab and nestle in my c section scar

[LadyMountbatten]

[piratecat]
