Loose or elasticated waist trousers

[Sleepingboy]

I know!! Not the sexiest of topics!

I'm a size 14, but suffer from IBS and have a very sensitive tummy.
I usually wear normal high waisted skinny jeans (can't wear low cut on front) but when I sit down or after I've eaten they press on my tummy and it feels like I'm being cut in half as my tummy is so sensitive and it's quite painful.
I don't want to wear old fashioned elasticated waist granny trousers but what can I do?

Is there such a style that is loose round the waist or adjustable in some way? I'm getting tempted by pregnancy jeans but even they don't really loosen at the top.

Can anyone help me find something please? Or any tips!?

Hush joggers? They were perfect after my c section and actually look quite nice.

Maybe something smarter?

Lands’ End Starfish slim leg trousers and leggings are very soft at the waist. I wear the slim leg trousers as gym wear. The black ones aren’t horrendously granny-ish.

Uniqlo leggings trousers are also nice and soft and cut for an apple shape so generous at the waist.

If you have instagram I'd recommend following thetummydiaries and the #mybloatedwardrobe hashtag. She swears by F&F (tesco) mom jeans.

Check out Lucy&Yak trousers. Very elasticated but can be belted when bloat isn't as bad

Have a look at Asos Design plisse culotte trousers. They have an elasticated waist and they're really comfy.

They also do them in tall or petite or plus sizes.

I have the same issue. Following a Fodmap diet and eating fermented foods really helps me, though I still get bloating.
Nydj jeans and trousers are really good as they have a stretchy panel at the front. H&m do lots of elastic waist trousers but I tend to go for the more expensive ones there in lyocell or cotton. Jigsaw is good too for culotte type trousers in velvet etc.

Zara and marks do black trousers that are like leggings but a lot thicker so more like trousers iyswim. They have elastic at top and I find them much comfier is sitting down than something with a button.

Next do some nice ones. Might be out of season now. What about paper bag style?

Hush do various trousers that are elasticated but don't look like joggers. White stuff do a style called maison which they do different weights. The link shows their cord winter ones. They have various fabrics and are comfy. I've just bought this style for Sundays when I like to be extra comfortable!

German brand Oska is good for this. A bit £££ but I get on eBay

Uniqlo do excellent elasticated waist trousers.

Massimo dutti have some nice elasticated waist ones

J Crew do decent elasticated trousers which don't press on the stomach.

I've got two pairs of these Toast trousers - they're very comfortable
