Aubrey Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 regarding maternity underwear. Preferences? I bought a pkg at Target yrs ago, but mostly have just used a size larger. Works fine, cuter, etc. Those one size granny versions...well...they're expensive & kinda ugly. But. This baby is carrying so low that everything is SO uncomfortable. I'm breaking down & buying more ugly ones because I just. can't. take. it. Suggestions? I'm interested primarily in comfort, then price, & if there's room after that, I'd prefer something fun. I'm talking dots & stripes, not racy. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a Jen in Mississippi Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Old Navy had some bikini maternity undies when I was pregnant with my son. They have a little more curve cut out of the top to allow for your belly, and they are cute. You may can check there. You should be able to find something other than the kind that comes up to you neck!:lol: I did wear those with my first two.....before I knew better!:lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I just LOVED the ones that came up over my belly during the last month or 2. So comfortable...I was NOT concerned about style at that point! I think I got mine at Motherhood Maternity (our local Boscovs sells Motherhood Maternity wear, too!). Just plain, stretchy cotton briefs with the front covering your belly. Very comfy. Came in a 6 pack I believe. Highly recommended...(I even like wearing them for the first few weeks post-pardum until my belly shrinks!).

Just a Jen in Mississippi Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You have to also consider the design of your maternity pants. All of mine were the under the belly kind with my last baby, so only bikinis would do. Even if I wasn't a "s*x kitten" :lol: during my 3rd trimester, I still would not have wanted panties that went up higher than my pants!:lol: But you shouldn't listen to me.....I'm the kind that will sacrifice comfort somewhat in favor of looking good!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlockOfSillies Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I use the ones from Motherhood Maternity. I find the briefs are the most comfortable. I tried the bikinis -- didn't cover jack squat up front, IYKWIM, and the boy shorts were cute, but I had major wedgies all day. The last thing I want to be doing with any kind of intimate apparel is hitching at it all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Motherhood maternity sells maternity thongs. I loved them because they are all I wear anyway. I hated those hideous granny pregnancy panties with 400 yards of cotton and elastic.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I never wear maternity underwear. I just wear my regular bikini (or string bikini?) jockeys. TMI: I do find I need to add a panty liner here at the end. I found some really nice cloth ones online (cotton velour - soft) that snap under the crotch to stay in place. I love them so much more than the sposie kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Did granny undies with pregnancies 1&2, but was so large with triplets that the only thing that fit was thongs--regular, run of the mill, teeny bopper thongs. Small bootie and big belly doesn't leave a lot of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have always worn my regular undies throughout pregnancy. This time it happened to be my usual VS low rise bikinis :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in AR Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 . . . but was so large with triplets that the only thing that fit was thongs . . . Oh, my goodness! I've never noticed before that your signature line shows triplets! Congrats! (a little late . . . ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have always worn my regular undies throughout pregnancy. This time it happened to be my usual VS low rise bikinis :p I did the same thing. They were just lower than normal. I hated anything that tried to touch my "waist".

Quiver0f10 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 With my last baby nothing was comfortable, so I just didn't wear any until the very end. How is that for TMI. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancypants Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I only wore bikinis. I hated having that awful tourniquet around my waist! I just always wore regular bikinis below the belly. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And having underwear AND pants that come to that spot is making me cranky. Yeah, that's it. It's the clothes. :D Anyway, I'm at the point that if granny panties is what it takes....<sigh>...so much for my dignity! And Quiver, I know exactly what you mean. It's been a trip to the store or *ahem* that. For now, though, I've opted to go shopping. :001_huh: I'm not really the commando type. Or the thong type. Maybe my inner-granny is calling? :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I bought a larger size of ordinary bikini underwear for pregnancy. It sat under the bump. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
