Plus size under wear

I am a dress size 22 and 5ft 8 . I am an absolute apple shape - actually a toffee apple my legs are v v slim and I carry my weight on my belly.

I am struggling to find comfortable but firm everyday underwear that gives me a bit of a pull in but I can breath in and is high enough waisted so it does not roll down mid presentation ( shudders a memory)

Any recommendations please

Perhaps try the style and beauty forum OP?

Innersy High Waisted Knickers on Amazon are superb. They are cotton, don't roll down or your bum, nicely shaped on the land don't have that awful zig zag edging on the elastic.

Or go up your bum, that should say

Search for C-section pants, they come up right under the bust and never roll down. Still have mine from pregnancy and there's one particular dress I have to wear them with to avoid that annoying indentation midway across your stomach that shows through the clingy fabric.

I'm a simlair size and the same height. I really like peacocks plus size knickers, they actually look quite sexy for big knickers. I have 8 pairs and they are very comfy. Around £6 a pair.

Look up ‘The big bloomer company’

Also to avoid roll down get one of the hold in, shaper slips that you wear your own bra with, as they have straps over your shoulders they work much better.

I’ve always found Sainsbury’s TU underwear really good. I’m 5’10” and a size 18.

Can also recommend The Big Bloomers Company - really comfy pants but also look good on an Apple shape and firm enough without being restrictive

I like Primark's 'Spanx'.
