To want pants that feel as comfortable as pjays?

I'm a plus size mama, 2YO DS and 6 week old baby by cesarean. I've breastfed continuously for 2 years and my body loves to store fat while feeding 🙄
Besides the point, I find my pjamas so comfortable but also very flattering - nice elasticated waist, sits high in the hips, flared legs, soft stretchy material, I love them. My question is WHY aren't every day pants this nice? I cannot find any that suit my shape (chunky hour glass/slight pear). AIBU to think the pattern for comfy pants is right there and we aren't taking advantage of it ? Anyone else feel super confident in clothes that aren't "everyday outdoor" clothes?

If anyone knows of any magical pants please attach link 🙏 or am I slowly going insane and not realising? From a mama trying to learn to love her mum tum 🫶

The Halara jeans and wide trousers fit like that, I find. Really comfortable!

Only thing worth noting is that you do have to pay the return cost

I like the wide leg trousers from shein, they have matching tops sometimes that don’t do a lot for me, but the trousers are quite pj like.

Wide leg Joggers?

Do you mean knickers pants or are you American and mean trousers when you say pants?
If knickers pants - I am a recent convert to oddballs knickers.

Is it American to say pants ? I've always called them pants but born and bred in the UK! Learn something new every day.

Wide leg Joggers?

I can imagine they would be very comfortable but I can't cope with the heat joggers are too thick for me x

Do you mean trousers? It sounds like you do, so if so I saw some in Sainsbury's which looked exactly like pjs - stripes, elasticated waist and all.

Of course, if you're actually in the US I can't help 😁

Have a look at the morrisons harem pants. £12 and so comfy

Bumdrops · 06/05/2025 13:34

In the UK, pants = knickers, apple catchers, belly warmers, cheese string whatever
trousers / bottoms = clothes for legs

you been on YouTube / TikTok too much ?

YearlySubscriptionRenewal · 06/05/2025 13:36

Hush has a great selection - you can buy them on vinted if you want cheaper prices.

Next sells decent ones too

I lived in yoga pants from Bam while I was pregnant and haven’t given them up yet (8 months pp)!
