Knickers that stay up on a barrel shaped?

So I need to lose weight, but also I need some giant pants that stay up properly even though I haven’t got a waist to speak of. I’m quite tall (5’9) size 20 and my stomach is bigger than my backside.
Can anyone similarly shaped recommend some pants that will stay up? Without me having to keep hoiking them up? I wore a skirt today and it was very nearly a complete disaster… Blush

I've moved to Brazilian style knickers (the good coverage ones) that sit a lot lower.

My knicker size is much smaller than my trouser size.

I find m and s pants great, but the ones you buy individually, not the packs.

Matalan, I know, but they stay up & are incredibly comfortable.They come in different styles.

(My yummy us bigger than my bum & im far from slimline!! Admittedly they don't look like they do on the model (sadly) but the don't roll down

Tummy, not my yummy 🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂

Thanks for your help everyone - do you buy your regular skirt/trouser size @JugglingJanuary?

Wirapa on amazon. Recommended by mumsnet on another thread. Super comfy with a thick waist that gently controls wobbly bits without muffin top. Never roll down.

Snag pants

Get some markses big knickers. I went back to them after having the same problem. Size closer to your waist than your bum, though. I'm a 14-16 waist and 12 hip and the 14 feels very uncomfortable in the waist on a bloaty day.

Primark. Not posh, but the big, full coverage and very stretchy ones are far more comfortable than anything that seeks out your internal organs or clamps onto your arse cheeks whilst simultaneously diving under any overhang to try and cause chafing.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 21/01/2022 01:03

Yep, Primark.

Sunshineandrainbow · 21/01/2022 01:13

Similar size to you and I love playtex full briefs.

M & S boy shorts come in packs of either black, nude or white, they last years.

Turnitupto11 · 21/01/2022 09:07

I buy the individual full briefs with lace trim from M&S, they are super comfy and don't roll down. I'm size 16 with large tum!

PickAChew · 21/01/2022 12:51

I bought some primark big knickers on recommendation and it turned out they didn't come up much higher than the M&S midis that I couldn't keep up. They got repurposed as dusters!

Boody - brilliant.
