Hi all,

A bit of help recommending where to get some big comfy bridges from please that you wore after birth? Suitable for after C-section or natural.

Thank you :D

I just bought very large black pants from the supermarket & they were great. No need to spend a fortune.

I got cheap huge ones from primark, not very helpful at the moment though.

When people say very large, how many sizes up from non pregnancy are we talking? I’m still comfortably in my usual size 10s at 22 weeks. I have visions of buying massive ones and them falling around my ankles

Oh and I bought black for obvious reasons!

I got a pack of plain black high waisted pants from tesco. They go up to my belly button and I'm 35w pregnant. I also got them because I'm having a section.

Big black high waisted briefs from M and S saw me through 2 cesareans.
They were a relief to put on late in pregnancy 😂 and perfect afternoon surgery
I’m a size 10 and bought size 14 👍🏻

@Anaesthetist83 I think it's meant more like granny pants that are high waisted, good for wearing the big maternity pads in

I got full arse pants from M&S, wore them all through pregnancy and then after the c-section too

Sexy they are not but comfy as anything

These are the most comfortable pants ever - can’t recommend them enough. They are soft, look good on and have a nice high waist:

M&s no VPL microfibre High rise full briefs Two or three sizes larger than you would normally wear

Mine were from Sainsbury’s and I LOVED them! Sooo comfy! They even do some with lace on that dp called my sexy ones 😂

I bought full briefs from Asda. Cheap and cheerful.

Glad they were cheap because I had more than one pair cut off of me in hospital during my 10 day stay!

@kemosabeimalone I second that!

I'd go for 100% cotton ones though, just get full briefs. You'll never wear anything else mind 😉

They are so comfy and wash so we'll, last.

I got granny pants (mini briefs) from primark in 2 sizes bigger than my pre pregnancy size, plenty of room, plenty big enough. Im 35 weeks but did the exact same last time and they worked really well!

So m&s all the way!

I got 2 sizes bigger than my usual size and wore them for the last 5 weeks of pregnancy and 2 months afterwards. Just m&s bikiki briefs.

I got big high waisted ones from Tesco a size above my normal size

I was still in my usual size 10 knickers throughout pregnancy so sized up to a size 12 full brief for the maternity pads and these were perfect

I got the biggest primark ones I could find, they were fine whilst pregnant, but after c section the elastic kept sliding down onto the scar and I was constantly trying to pull them up.
I wish I'd just got better ones from the start, I had to amazon prime them from the hospital because everything was so desperately uncomfortable.
I got the high waisted ones from sloggi after that, they come right up to your belly button, so no rubbing on the scar. They looked identical next to the primark high waist ones, but the fabric feels more cottony and the elastic at the waist is much stretchier, so they actually stayed up and didn't cut in
