Please help me find some pants that stay up. The only ones I can wear are high waisted microfiber anything else slips down under my belly including shorts. I'm a size 14 with quite a soft belly. I can wear slim wear but would like something nice for everyday. Anything soft just works it's way down over time.

Have you tried getting a smaller size? Perhaps 12-14. I've recently lost weight, thanks covid, and most of mine as starting to do this, apart from my oddballs ones

wirarpa on Amazon are amazing. They come up high, and aren’t the slightest bit pretty (look a bit like mens y fronts), but they don’t budge. Really soft too.I can’t speak highly enough of them.

they were recommended on a similar thread a good few months ago and I haven’t looked back. They come in packs of four, and I have eight pairs.

Thanks, but those are similar to what I have, I'm looking for something more attractive.

Maybe I'll try this. I find if I wear small pants if I'm at home in leggings or joggers I get a kind of double belly which not only looks unsightly it is also not very comfortable.

I find the classic knickers from Ella & Me to be really good - I like the bamboo ones, as they are super soft, don't give me a second tummy above my C-section scar, and don't fall down!
Bamboo is also anti-microbial and anti-fungal, so they don't cause/exacerbate thrush either :)

They look really nice, I've ordered one pair in a size medium to see what the sizings like. Thanks, I'll report back.

I've recently switched to these and think they're great for the price. High waisted enough to add a bit of tummy support and stay up, actually cover my bum at the back and the cut is nice.

I'd say they come up a bit small, but are very stretchy. I'd size up if unsure.

Those are similar to what I wear but a bit smaller so a bit less granny pants, I'll definately try those.

I love these. They don't roll down, even when exercising. Yes they're big (they do a high leg version) but the lace is soft and makes them look nicer. Also flattering on the bum! (I'm a 16-18)

Please help me find some knickers.
