I'm not entirely sure if I should get these, or just use my black maternity pants with pads. But so far I haven't seen any that I think will fit, can anyone suggest anything please?

Thanks

I'm not plus-sized but didn't bother with disposable pants. I just bought a big pack of Primark cheap black 'full briefs' in a size larger than my normal pre-pregnancy size and used long maternity towels. Much more comfy!

Yes can’t help with the disposable knickers but I’m a size 20 and got on fine with maternity knickers and pads.

I'd definitely echo PP, I bought the Asda maternity pants in my usual size and then just used pads. They are much comfier...still wearing the pants now at 9 weeks postpartum 😂

Also a size 20-22. I just bought cheap black full briefs (in case of C-section - won't rub the scar that way) and used maternity pads. Still wearing them (sans maternity pads) 5 years later. So comfy. 🥰

Yes just buy big black knickers. I too am using some of mine 15 years later! So comfy.

Thanks all. I've got the George maternity pants and guess I will be in them for a few weeks after birth, then I've got M&S big black knickers that I wore at the start of pregnancy!

I was an 18 prior to pregnancy and have only put on 11lb so far (to 32 weeks) but feel like even a 20 feels a bit snug. I am also so sad at the lack of nice maternity clothes over a size 18.
