Maternity jeans falling down - braces...?

[TileTileTile]

Hi

I'm struggling to get my maternity jeans to stay up. I've tried various shops, over the bum, under the bump and various styles e.g. Skinny, bootcut etc. No luck! I have no bum which I don't think helps matters!!!

Trying to work out how I'm going to get through the next few months as it's embarrassing even walking to meeting rooms in the office as my trousers slip down and I'm pulling them up constantly. Went to Tesco earlier and kept having to pull them up, if I didn't the waistband would actually be at mid thigh by the time I left the shop

Has anyone tried braces (worn under a top) to keep them up? Or any other suggestions? Xx

Yeah i did. The braces kept on popping off the waistband. Sorry, i feel yr pain

Oh which ones did you try? I don't want to give up hope that none of them work!!

I have the same problem I've got no bum to keep them up! Sooooo sick of wearing leggings, I feel your pain OP.

I gave up on maternity jeans. I lived in a pair of Seraphine over-bump trousers that stayed up.

I think it's a phase at certain parts of your pregnancy you're either not big enough or too big to fit in maternity stuff. Complete pita

The solution is Isabella Oliver treggings. Not cheap but life changing

It might get better in a couple of weeks? I started wearing maternity trousers when I was 14 weeks but the were all too big and slipped off my bump all day but 2 weeks later the bump seems to be big enough to hold the elastic. The best trousers I have found were in H&M - they do some skinny black trousers made of twill which I wear to work and even when all the other stuff was falling down on me, they didn't. They were a little pricey at £25 but I was running out of options as my dresses were getting too small as were my pre-pregnancy work trousers.

Are they just too big? I always had to size down in maternity.

I had the same issue in both pregnancies. Never found a brand that stayed up

Oh my gosh I have the same problem. I have so far only bought one pair cos I knew this would happen. No bum, so I struggled pre pregnancy with normal jeans. I'd just tighten my belt up real tight. Obviously can't do that now. I resort to wearing them only when I have minimal walking to do. Can't wait for summer when I can wear dresses instead of leggings.

^^ Yup, totally agree with this which are exactly my experiences too!

I use braces, they're brilliant, no more hiking up my trousers every five minutes! Have had no problems with them coming off the waistband. The only minor downside is that you have to take your jumper off to use the loo, but it's a small price to pay.

I am the same, no bum and struggle to keep jeans up anyway! Tesco non maternity jeggings in a couple of sizes bigger than usual ended up being my choice.

I solved this issue by buying maternity jeans with belt loops (H&M) and a larger than normal belt. Problem solved!

The extortionately expensive jeans with no belt loops are being sold on eBay!

I bought this thing that i looped around the top button of my normal jeans and kept them up but gave space for the bump to grow.
