Please can somebody help me... Why do all of my trousers fall down, is my bum or belly too big or what????

[humptydidit]

this has always been my problem for years

I have got a sticky outy sort of a bum and a bit of a overhang tummy, which is now worse after 3 kids... It seems like they fit perfect then after I start walking around my tummy kinda flops out and then they fall down over my bum.

Where am I going wrong? Is it the wrong style of trousers or what? wierdly it is more of a problem with trousers than skirts?

Please help!!

My trousers always gape at the back as my thighs are too big for my waist, so to fit my oversize legs I need a bigger size which is too big at the waist. It sounds really obvious but not I wear a belt ( for being so thick). I never used to wear one as I felt it made my tummy look too chunky but it really does help my trousers stay up! Sorry if that's a completely stupid and obvious reply though???

I have the same problem and I don't know the answer! I expect we need proper on te real waist jeans, which probably aren't even made anymore. I also wear a belt but it pulls on the buckle cos I need it tight and then it looks crappy. On another thread someone was complaining all jeans are for apple shapes, an tonne they all seem to fit pears! Perhaps the answer is in expensive brands?

well jeans are definately the worst culprits, but happens with all trousers apart from the ones with the really high waist you tuck your bra into.. is that the way to go???

TBH haven't tried a belt maybe I should... sounds pathetic but don't like the buckle digging into my tummy tho

I get this. I've always thought it's because I'm apple shaped - I have no hipos to stop my jeans sliding down.

I think it's got worse since having DC as the overhang helps to force them down I have to wear a belt now.

No hips sorry!

I got no hips either but close to hippo proportions it feels like sometimes!!!

I kid you not bran, I may go and buy some braces. Could I wear them under my tops? I'm not pear shaped, but my hips are bigger than my waist, so I shouldn't really have so much trouble.

I bought braces when I was pregnant to keep my maternity jeans up!

They were awful! Pinged off at the back every time I bent over!

Are you sure you are buying the right size? You might need to size down

I've tried a 12 but tend to roll all the more out the top. I really think I need a rise almost to my belly button, but I don't want mom jeans!

I have exactly this problem and even when I was thin jeans fell down. No idea what its from but I have to wear a belt with everything other wise I get that unflattering trousers/jeans slipping down look that makes me hips look even bigger! It even happens with leggings.

for all fellow sufferers!!

I am on a diet. Lost a stone so far and just managed to get back in these jeans, they were too tight to do up before, and to start with they are fine, then as soon as I start walking around, the belly pops out and then they fall down.

My belly is bigger than my waist, but I guess I must be an apple shape... off to research apple shape trousers...
