Thunderpants - worth it? What style?

I’ve been eyeing these up having heard great things from kiwi friends. But they are mega bucks. But I really want decent brightly coloured pants. If they are good - what style is best? I like the idea of the hipster but do have a tummy (3kids later) but can’t imagine knickers going over my tummy being very flattering...

I love thunder pants. I find they come up large and stretch a bit so I am a 12 and buy small ( normally a medium) . I find for some reason the hipsters don’t stay up - and I am hippy. I would go for original - they sit well below belly button.
Once tried you are in love as super comfy and last ages so in the end cheaper than other pants.
Enjoy!

Ooh thanks for the reply Luna - I definitely need to measure myself carefully before I order.

I love thunderpants. I'm a 14 and buy medium. I have a pair of hipsters, but I am very curvy and they aren't as comfortable. The rest of mine are original, it falls well below my belly button but fully covers my generous ass.

Look a lot like bonds hipsters which are brightly coloured and mega comfy and can be found for less cash....

I was given some as a gift and they were massive in the bottom. Perhaps great if you were very plump of rump but they bunched up on me and showed under trousers and I would not say I am at all small of bum.

I’ve never heard of those hettie - where can you buy them from?
Interesting point about bum size, my bum is minimal especially since kids. Still there and has length but not depth 😂

You can get Bonds pants in John Lewis. However I found that they had decent but not brilliant coverage and they definitely slipped around

I like thunderpants but they are really expensive. Try Fanny Adams. Another kiwi company!
