Looking for guidance please. My mum is 70, has MS and is in an electric wheelchair. She has a catheter. Looking to buy more better fitting trousers for her. (She wears the same M&S trousers she's been wearing for decades.) They don't fasten correctly, are uncomfortable etc. She is frail, slim legs but apple tummy area. She can't handle wide-leg trousers and doesn't want joggers. Looking for a nice pair of trousers, suitable for 70 yr old lady.

Have a look at maternity trousers (cut out the labels. I bought them for my mum who had medical issues that caused a large abdomen. Lots of plain and nice styles (next were good I think)

I bought my elderly Mum Robell trousers which were a real hit both with her & her carers. They have nice corduroy ones for colder months. I recommend you size up. Stretchy but nice fabric no buttons or zips. Fab Robell https://sosimply.com/bella-fl/robell-bella-needlecord-trousers

These would be comfortable, pull-on so no fiddly buttons or zip, high waisted, not wide-leg but wide enough to accommodate a catheter.

There are lots of 'soft' pull-on trousers that aren't joggers. Lands End are good for this.

M n S are selling lots of elasticated waist jeans

Just to add the Alexas might fit the bill but many to choose from with an assortment of fabric. colours and leg lengths
