Diaper Swappers

So I have been avoiding buying new underwear, but after spending yet another day trying to discreetly remove it from my butt all day and seeing (and feeling) the indentations it was leaving on my hips, I caved. I did not want the granny panties like last time. I feel not so great in those. Just too much fabric, imho. I found Fruit of the Loom new Cotton Stretch panties. $6-$7 for 3 pairs (well worth it!). The best way I can describe it is kind of like pantyhose material but a little thicker. They are very soft with no elastic bands since they are supposed to be panty line free. I normally wear a 6 and I bought size 7s. I can easily see these stretching comfortably with the rest of my pregnancy. They make them in different styles. I got the high cut briefs. They sit just higher than the denim material in my maternity jeans and stay up and out of my butt all day. Even through playing with DS.

Those sound great! I'll have to check them out. I bet they'll be nice for post partum too, I hate having those thick granny panty waistbands digging into all that loose skin. Yuck!

I hate anything with an actual elastic band because it cut into the tummy and makes me look fate instead of pregnant.

. I actually fold the front down under my belly. They stay perfectly and still stay up on my bum.

Thank you!!!! I am having the same problem with cutting into me and making me look fat etc. Can't wait to try these.

I have some fruit of a loom and love them! I was too scared to buy maternity and just buying a different brand made a world of difference. It is quite nice that they are affordable and comfortable and not too unsexy! Pregnant women need all the comfort and style they can get!

Thanks for posting, I've tried several brands and none seem to work!

Ugh! I hate underwear anymore!

I have some of these and I love them. I have to warn you that the boy cut does ride up though, it has a seem down the back that goes straight up the crack. I love the hipsters though!

I have the same issue, no underwear that I have worn prepregnancy is comfy. I went out and bought bigger sized undies but nothing fits like the granny panties I bought while pregnant with our son to use with the huge post partum pads. I plan on going out and buying more packs to wear now. Never thought I'd be so happy to buy underwear that comes in a pack, lol!
