Knickers with seams that don’t dig in…

Twoshoesnewshoes · 09/11/2024 17:23

I’m carrying a bit of extra weight atm (though I think this might be how I am going forward), and quite fleshy around the hips.
i don’t need tummy pulling in particularly, but my knickerline is noticeable around the top and bottom on my hips.
i have shapewear but this seems even worse as the edging in the knickers is tighter.
it’t the edging that’s the problem if that makes sense, it digs in and creates a visible dent/ muffin top.
any recommendations for suitable knickers?

All the knicker threads on here OP just advise sizing up and they are soooooo right. I'm a 12-14 and I buy 18-20 pants from M&S or Primark and I don't get any digging in or VPL

You need to size up

Ah, okay
hmmmm that’s a bit of a psychological challenge

I second sizing up. It’s just one of those things. I’ve had to when fat and when skinny, so it’s not you being any particular size that is causing the issue, it’s the knicker manufacturers!

I agree about sizing up, I'm a 12 but wear size 16 pants

I like these ones from M&S and have about 15 pairs. I am a 14 and wear a 14 with no digging in.

Size up and use the Spanx-type that are a biiiiig on the belly bit string like in the bum.
