I need comfortable pregnancy knickers!

Looking for recommendations for the most comfortable pregnancy knickers known to man.

I'm 32 weeks and feel the size of a house. I don't care how they look, I need comfort all the way.

Ideally seam-free as any elastic seems to annoy me. Over the bump recommendations especially welcomed due to previous c-section.

Thank you so much in advance!

Following! This sounds dreamy! I'm also 32 weeks and fed up of all elastic 😂

MedbN · 14/07/2022 22:05

Sorry posted too soon. They do have elastic but I find them very comfortable.

ChloeHel · 14/07/2022 22:07

Currently wearing these! I get my underwear two sizes up from my usual clothes size when I’m not pregnant so three sizes up now haha!

These are a life saver. Perfect post c section too as they don't rub!

Full briefs from Asda 5 for about £5.

So comfy that after I gave birth in 2019 I still wear them 😂

inacuppa · 14/07/2022 22:38

So excited by this question because you need to buy these 😂
I too am guilty of still wearing them waaay after I gave birth 😳

GAW19 · 14/07/2022 22:39

I have these!
I wore them all through pregnancy, then got 2 sizes bigger to wear after my C-section, tbh I still wear them all now over a year later Smile
They do them in different colours too! I have the black

Tescos full briefs - still wearing here nearly 6 years after my first, I've had 2 c sections so have to have big pants now a days!

soupmaker · 14/07/2022 22:44

M&S big pants are fantastic. I'm not pregnant but after my 2 I've never bothered to go back to small pants. So comfy.

SunshineAndFizz · 15/07/2022 07:18

Thank you for all the suggestions!

I second Tesco full briefs. Bargain for a multipack of 5. And I'm still wearing them 2 years after giving birth 🤣

Galaxyrippleforever · 15/07/2022 21:49

I posted a very similar thread a few weeks ago and had these suggested , and they are great. They're under the bump but don't bother your section scar.

My DS was born in 2017 and I am still wearing my enormous Asda pants sometimes...

SunshineAndFizz · 16/07/2022 14:50

Brilliant, thanks!

Asda maternity knickers have been a game changer for me 😊

Namechanger355 · 16/07/2022 16:41

Like others have said - full briefs from m and s but bigger size

im size 10 but bought size 18 when pregnant which was great. And then continue to wear them even now which is a bit mad! But so comfortable

I also had a c section

Ladies we have a winner. These are brilliant - i love them. Also tried on a couple of others but anything with the slightest bit of elastic/slight ruffle to the hem is irritating my skin.

Be warned. You may never got back to small pants! Keep well and hope it's plain sailing when baby arrives.

Oh now these look amazingly comfortable. Off to purchase now!

andyethereweare · 20/07/2022 12:21

So pleased that you like them! These have got me through two c sections and despite swearing after giving birth last year I'd wear something a little more "sexy". Nope, still wearing them and tell everyone the same. They wash up like a dream too xx

inacuppa · 21/07/2022 02:33

Reminded me of this 😂

Thank you so much for the recommendation - I wish I'd had them for my first c-section (have much second booked for a few weeks time). Bought them a few sizes up from my usual size and they're mega comfortable x x

Based on this and previous knicker threads I'm buying a size up in m and s bikini knickers and may graduate to full briefs. I'm 16 w and I think the rubbing from my size 14 m and s ones are giving me dermatitis!
