Help, I need big pants!

Huge, probably with shorts at the bottom and that will pull up (and stay up) to my bra. I've lost a lot of weight - over 100lbs - and I'm still about a size 20, but I want something safe and quite gentle to wear on dress days when my wobbly tummy wobbles even more.

I wear wirapa daily (backwards as more at the front than the back 😭) to help the tummy apron, and ideally something like this but that go higher.

And yes, mounjaro the wonder drug.

Yes that type of thing, definitely light support, but I want them to go right up to my bra, and stay there, not roll down. I've looked but nothing seems to tick the box, perhaps I'm looking for something that doesn't exist?

Have you looked at getting some made to order? There are small independent businesses that would do this for you!

Spanx?

That's a great idea, but they'd need to see me nearly naked and that's not happening. I think I'll try cutting the straps of an underbust shapewear thing and see if that stays up .
