Jeans that my arese doesn't fall out of?

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I don't know if this is even possible, but I figured you ladies would know

Is it possible to have a pair of jeans that are flattering and fit nicely when you are standing, AND, that when you squat down to deal with recalcitrant toddler you don't reveal a crack worthy of a builder?

Oh, and I find stretch jeans are unflattering as they let my saddlebags swing free.

Oh, and I don't do high waisted trousers.

So, is it possible? Recommend away... (although I have a horrible feeling you will all say that it is not possible )

I bought some great jeans in tk maxx the other day. They are Lee bootcut and do actually stay up. I have this problem too and have spent so much over the years on jeans that give and fall down. I know you should buy the. Tight ones in the shop as they give but I've been caught out there too and those ones never give!!

hmm, maybe I should go and have a root around in tkmaxx this weekend :-)

Well you need some degree of high-waistedness to avoid builders bum when squatting or bending.

Hipsters or low riders are, IMO, best for people with no waist or hips and a flat bum. If you're like me and a pear/vase shape then I need something that does up on the level with my belly button.

I've had 2 new pairs of jeans lately that I'm really pleased with - a pair of Gap Curvy (bought on Ebay) and a pair of Asda's 14 quid straight jeans that are actually really nice; flattering and comfy and no builders bum risk.

I was worried that might be the case. I definitely have hips and bum, but I find high waists so uncomfy :-(

Levi curve- despite being high rise- ish, very, very comfortable and flattering! Deffo worth trying on!

You just have to steel yourself and admit it - you need one size larger and at least two inches higher. Then most brands will provide enough coverage.

scarevola [sob] i'm not 17 and skinny any more am I :-( [steels self to go buy age appropriate jeans]

Try Asda great bum jeans. £18. They have a higher than average waist but are defo not high-waisted. Very comfy, dark stretch jeans that are flattering. I ordered mine online and they were delivered v quick. There's a sep thread about them if they sound of interest.

Citizens of Humanity Ava jeans are what you need. They are usually quite expensive but I got mine in TK Maxx for £60. More than I would usually pay for jeans but they are worth the money - the denim is just a world away from Gap, Top Shop etc. They really keep their shape between washes too and I would be prepared to pay full price for a replacement when the time comes.

They are cut so that they are low-ish on the front (without causing any muffin toppage) but slightly higher at the back so that your arse does not showeth every time you bend over/sit/lunge at toddlers. Very flattering.

Next have a new range of jeans called lift and shape and they stay up really well and are not too expensive £42.

Sorry can't do links :( I have them in black and dark denim. Very comfortable.

I just got some oasis cherry jeans and they are very flattering around the tummy and are cut quite high. The only thing they are quite long- and I'm 5' 7.

If I'm at home with kids I always wear a belt as I always seem to have half my bum out when I bend down otherwise !!
