Maternity knickers

Could someone recommend a decent place to get maternity knickers? I struggled to find maternity bras that I liked and really need some comfy ones for now and after birth. Thank you 😀

I just got massive full briefs and they are comfy ☺️

For post birth, I would just get supermarket granny pants a size or two bigger than you'd usually wear. Get them in black if you can.

I don't recall buying actual maternity pants for during pregnancy, I just wore my normal ones!

I've been wondering this! So far I've just been sizing up full briefs but they're starting to get tight on my tummy but my bottom's still fine iyswim? I have quite a big bump for my frame and don't think sizing up and up will help much...

Tesco's full briefs in a size above my normal. Very comfy!

I’m worried about the fitting of just sizing up but I could give it a go... nothing worse than uncomfortable pants 😂

I never needed ones prebirth but highly recommend for after birth at least

I've ordered some from Seraphine and they looked nice and were comfy. However it's not the cheapest at £12 per item.. Sainsbury's had maternity knickers but they were out of stock the last time I checked (which was few weeks ago).

Ok thanks. I’ve needed some for a while and I have been going commando in floaty trousers for a while (sorry tmi) which has been nice but realise this is not a long term solution especially post birth 😂. Definitely can’t fit in pre pregnancy pants I’ve already put on two stone.

@Mc3209 I’ll check out seraphine thank you. Money isn’t an issue (well not when it comes to comfort anyway)

I got some from Sainsbury’s online last week, much more comfortable and sit nicely under my bump!
