Parsnip Pants for Adults?

29 replies

Sexnotgender · 12/10/2020 13:29

I bought Frugi parsnip pants for my toddler and they look like the comfiest thing in the world! I’m pregnant and definitely think I need some adult ones in my life.

Any idea where to start looking for them? What search to do?

I’d preferably like plain ones😂

Lucy and Yak might have something in a similar shape

Are they not harem trousers when made in adult sizes? I have to say, I prefer "parsnip pants" though Grin

Sexnotgender · 12/10/2020 14:28

Off to google harem trousers...

They look like baggy yoga pants

Sexnotgender · 12/10/2020 14:33

Harem trousers look closest. They’ve got a lovely thick soft waistband that I’d like on my ones.

Just stumbled across some lovely ones in Seraphine.

The Alexa looks nice but I’m only 5ft 1 and they seem to come in a standard length🙁

They're made to accommodate a nappy so you're unlikely to find exactly the same shape in adults clothes. Harem pants are your best bet.

Try looking on Amazon for 'drop crotch' (awful term!) trousers.

I know 😂🙈

I just want the rough shape, thick high soft waistband and cuffed legs.

I definitely don’t want the drop crotch look!

Alexa are a very tough material so not good for lounging IMO. I would recommend the Thought lounge pants. Best I’ve tried.

Joeyandpacey · 12/10/2020 17:40

I’m pregnant too and still wearing mine.

AgentProvocateur · 12/10/2020 17:45

I thought you meant pants as in knickers and were looking for some knickerbocker type things 😂😂

@Joeyandpacey
Great minds!

Sexnotgender · 12/10/2020 18:55

Those thought ones are exactly what I’m looking for! Thank youSmile

I lived in Seraphine and Isabella Oliver while pregnant (all purchased from ebay...) - totally stretchy comfort. Now I have gained my covid stone I am rethinking giving them away...

Squiz81 · 12/10/2020 19:10

I’ve got the Thought ones too, they are really comfy and don’t go super baggy at the knee by the end of the day like some do

Known as shite catchers in this house

Thehollyandtheirony · 12/10/2020 19:26

Frugi actually sell them! They are in the sale section but they are in bright floral prints.

I looked and didn’t see any? Off for another look😊

@Sexnotgender this is completely unrelated (although I also love Frugi parsnip pants and I did get some adult maternity ones from them!) but I remember your username from the Jan 2019 due date thread I think, my DD was born a similar time and I was on that group too, and I’ve seen you’re pregnant again, so am I! waves how far along are you?

Bettyfromduggee · 12/10/2020 21:21

(Forgot to say I have name changed several times since then but HI!)

NC4Now · 12/10/2020 21:23

Hush harem pants, of course!

Frequentcarpetflyer · 12/10/2020 21:23

They're big knickers!
