Best everyday pants for c section overhang

10 replies

Now that summer's kind of here, I've ventured into a floaty dress for the first time and am despairing at my lumpy c section overhang.

Can anyone recommend reasonably comfy everyday pants that smooth things out a bit but don't make you feel like you're wearing a corset?

Bonus points for including a link as well.

Following..... three sections and an overhang (she says while scoffing left over pizza)

I had an ectopic when I was in my twenties and I have the overhang which never went away. These days I am older and I find wearing bigger pants helps to smooth it as wearing anything smaller tends to sit underneath it no matter how much I pull them up.

Big pants from Asda for every day wear.
These ones from Marks when I need a bit of extra smoothing

No C-section here so feel free to ignore me, but I do have a bit of a lockdown tummy! I wear these under dresses with bare legs:

I’m a size 10 and went up to a 12 for extra coverage/no VPL.

I now wear Sloggi Tai briefs - mainly cotton but with a bit of stretch

Out of stock at the moment but I had a c section a month ago and feel a lot more...together with these on!

I also have the dreaded csection overhang. I wear M&S massive ones in a size 12, despite me really being a size 16/18. I find big pants need to size down quite a lot and not just in M&S.

I also have some light control pants from Sainsbury's which I wear when I need them, but I don't like the fabric. It's not as breathable! But it does the job for under floaty dresses or jeans when I'm not feeling particularly svelt.

M&S midi briefs in cotton.
They keep the overhang in place.
I thought they had given me the wrong order ( full brief instead of midi ) as they were so big. But no- they were the midi as ordered.
The full brief must be huge.
I find 100% cotton so much better in summer than man made fibre knickers.

Floaty dress - half slip from M&S or Primark is handy too.
