Does anyone (not slim!) wear men’s jeans?

I am a size 18 with a big tummy. I know officially stretch high waisted jeans are probably recommended but I have some shaping ones and they just aren’t flattering, or maybe it’s the style I don’t really like. They do hold my tummy well though.
In younger years I always wore men’s jeans - but didn’t have the big tummy then.
looking nostalgically at some men’s 501s…

I used to wear them as a size 16. I now tend to wear boyfriend jeans from M&S. I'm more of a chubby hourglass shape though so they look straight on me. Probably not all that flattering but I love them and I love comfort.

I do, boys jeans have always fitted me better. I just got a pair of True Religion from TKMaxx. I love shopping there, so cheap and so much variety.

I don’t know what my shape is - big all over! -but middle is definitely definitely wider measurement that bum and hips. I probably need to go try some on. Gap used to be my go to.
I’ll try TK Maxx and M&S thanks.

I tried a couple of size 18 jeans from Hennes but too tight at waist. I thought men’s might be less likely to narrow at the waist.

Yep. Bonus: proper pockets.
