Knickers for a size 16 with an apron belly what shape to go for

[JustCantBeBothered]

Largely due to 3 babies and 3 c sections and a love for cake on mat leave 😦 what shape are best please? I find I either have midi ones that go and tuck themselves in my belly for the day or knickers I wore after surgery that tuck themselves under my boobs!

It’s these ones they come in a bunch of different colours. I see a few other posters like them too. Honestly they are brill the cotton is quite sturdy so gives gentle support but without feeling restrictive. They don’t climb up or roll down. They wash well too.

M&S are doing high leg shapewear knickers the flatten your apron! £10 for two pairs. I bought them by accident but they are really good and I’m going to get more.

These have the softest trim and are so comfortable

I wear these super high waisted ones that someone recommended on here. I really like them and they cover a multitude of sins and don’t give a line under clothing https://amzn.eu/d/5EHCR6A

Sloggi are expensive but they're worth it.

You never have to throw them out. You can wash them a million times and they're as good as new!

I've got the same figure as you, after 4 CS.

If you buy your Sloggi from Ambrose Wilson, you can always get a discount code.

I get Sloggi off Amazon in multi packs they are often discounted.

I do agree about Sloggis. I have some that are 5+ years old and still going strong.

If you want to treat yourself a bit this is what I wear soooo comfy and high rise but not granny pants! I'd say L is 14-16

Yes I find this, I love the simple shape of Sloggis but the leg holes are tiny. Even when I was a size 6 I had to size up as they dig in at the front top of the leg. Now I am. 10-12 I have tried even two or three sizes bigger but the leg holes… still not comfortable. I’ve given up on them now.

I've bought a few of these from Amazon, they just slightly smooth my silhouette. Quite a few colours:-

I'm in love with the Amazon Wirrarpa knickers!

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm leaning towards wirarpa ones because of the popularity but am torn between the standard ones and the higher rise ones (which looks boob high!)

Has everyone found them true to size - there's a few reviews that say size up. I'm a 16-18 I'd say for trousers but prefer a looser fit

I have both Wirapa style and the high waisted are v high waisted. I like them because under a skirt or dress they give a good smooth line. I think they’ll be v hot on a super warm day though.!

I’m a size 12 and ordered a medium. I hate tight underwear and these are a good fit. Often when I size up underwear v baggy but these aren’t.

I always used to buy M and S but I really prefer these.

These are the less high waisted option https://amzn.eu/d/22bUwp6

To be clear although these are described as high waisted they are nowhere near as high waisted as the ones I was describing as v high waisted.
Those are super high waisted and the link to those is here:

Lurking. M&S did sumptuously soft ones which have lace on the bum and high waist, big knickers but surprisingly flattering and comfortable
Obviously being M&S they discontinued them, called them body soft and made a totally different shit product

but why do they come in assorted colours, 3 pack of white or black or whatever, please M&S let us choose.

I'm a long time Sloggi fan and I was excited to try the Bonmarche ones when I found them a few months ago, but I found that they were so tight around the waist. I even sized up but the elastic nearly cut me in half 😩

I'm back to buying the Sloggi control full briefs wherever I find them at a discount - most recently La Redoute.

yes yes

My DM always used to swear by Sloggi but she prefers M&S of this type now.

Me too - they are so comfy.

I love these too! Although they don't seem to last as long as my other pants (one has a hole in maybe 8 months of rotation- just me?). They are very comfy though so will likely suck it up an buy some more.

Late to the party but these are perfect pants

I swear by these after searching high and low for years: https://undercover.co.uk/3-pairs-wysteria-lane-high-leg-lace-brief-black.html

I have bought every pair of M&S pants mentioned but I've recently been disappointed, some flexifit pants lost the fit part and fell down. I tried the sloggi ones mentioned on here too but I didn't like them either on the legs. I prefer hipster shorts so I literally just ordered some stripe and state ones to try as they were a bit less boring, they haven't arrived yet. I'm more of a cotton person than a modal person but I'll see.
