What knickers did you wear when pregnant?!

Strange question I know but here's the problem. I'm a very small boned person and when I carry even a small amount of fat round my waist/hips (like now when I'm pregnant with DC2), it really shows on me. So even when I've moved up a size to a size 12 thong, you can see little overhangs of fat/really bad underwear marks under my clothes. It's not a problem when I wear trousers, but I've treated myself to some really nice maternity summer dresses, some of which are fairly clingy and the underwear situation is really ruining the look.

I don't mind the underwear being slightly unattractive as long as it looks good and gives me a cleanish line under dresses. Obviously I don't want to wear some sort of body stocking contraption with it being pretty warm at the moment! Anyone got any good suggestions?

Hubby's boxers worked for me, but I'm not small in any area so may not be right for you! Comfort is key!!!

mmmmmm, not sure if my fella's boxers would give me that lovely streamlined look i was going for! I've found some spanx things on the net but they just look so hot for these hot summer days, i think i'd be desperate to get them off!

maybe i just shouldn't have eaten quite so many crisps and chocolate in those early months....

Bought maternity briefs from mothercare, nice cotton stretchy ones. I find underwear is important comfort wear, so get right stuff.
Never go knickerless

Not sure if this still relevant to you lovelymama but i found that M&S No-VLP knicks are great. Wore them before pregnant and still wearing now (obviously washing them though :). See link below
