Everyday shaping underwear for overhang belly when shapewear is uncomfortable

PearLover4 · 04/07/2026 03:27

I've had 3 c sections and despite being a size 12-14 I have a huge overhanging belly. It makes me very self conscious in both skirts and dresses as well as jeans. It's the first thing you notice about me!

I have shapewear, but due to having IBS I can't wear anything tight that presses my belly in for long without it giving me sharp pains and/or diarrhoea. I also have anti chafing shorts which feel great don't really do that much. Would love suggestions please!

Ive been looking for the same. Ive lost 8 stone and have been left with a belly. Ive tried various big pants that are suppose to be comfortable to wear and help the belly but although comfortable ( magisculpt) they didnt do anything for apperance.
