Coping with jeans overspill - New pants or Jeans?

So ... I'm still a size 12 post 2 babies but struggling with my wobbly tummy/jeans overspill. I also have very bad stretch marks. Do I need new pants or new jeans?

I still wear mini-type pants but I think this is a throwback to when I used to wear ultra low rise jeans BC. Usually wear scarlet Oasis jeans which are good apart from when I sit down and then feel like I have 5 bellies.

What pants do you wear for every day. I don't think I could cope with magic pants every day as I find them a bit tight.

new jeans
pants will not stop overspill

Try Hula from New Look (bargain at £10) or Gap Curvy.

I got some in Asda yesterday, boot cut only £12, bargain, I have got them on today and they fit really well

I haven't tried this but it sounds interesting. Recommended in a mag.

Go for skinny in two sizes up. Cinch it with a belt.
Apparently even terminally cool teens think's, like, so not retarded.

do they do skinnies in an 18/20 then. OMG I think I'd rather make do with the ill fitting overspill

mumtoboys I am exactly the same. Size 12, post 2 DD's with stretchmarks! I have just given up and just praise my muffin top each morning when I put my jeans on!

I had excess fliud with DS1 so tummy is horrible!! Just has no elasticity to it because so many stretch marks. Still ... DS is worth it .
