Recommendations for school trousers for boy with no bum

DS has always had a problem with keeping his trousers up. It's not limited to school trousers, it's literally anything on his bottom half.

It's due to a mixture of no bum and not noticing due to his ND. I've tried smaller sizes, bigger sizes, brands like Next/M&S/Matalan, pulling the waist in/sewing the waist up. He currently wears literal belt and braces but by the end of the school day his bum crack is back on show.

He's in Year 5 and I've reached my limit. He'll be at secondary school next year (!!!). I'm already worried about him being bullied due to neuro divergence and this is just another (very visible) thing that will add to him being 'different'.

Has anyone had anything similar and found a solution?

Have you tried fully elasticated trousers, like these? Boys Full Elastic Pull Up Trouser Zeco | School Uniform | School Wear United You could pair with clip on braces too, but the elastic might be enough to keep them up. The reviews are from people saying similar to you and they seem to stay up!

Not recently, I'll give them a try!

Thank you for the recommendation.
