Maternity shapewear with a double gusset?

sunshine507

Has anyone found any? Anywhere??? 

I'm wearing the heck out of maxis right now, and I prefer shapewear underneath them, but the Spanx maternity shaper I've been wearing (the only one I've been able to find around here) doesn't have a double gusset and that's literally the worst thing ever.

I don't know what a double gusset is, but I was curious whether it was ok to wear like spanx and tthings like that while pregnant. I'm going on a work trip, and I'd really like to not tell anyone about this just yet. does anyone know what's safe?

Double gusset = little opening so you can pee without taking the whole shapewear off 

I haven't been able to comfortably wear my regular shapewear since way before week 10... the maternity Spanx I bought (because my maxis are all jersey and unlined, ugh) is SUPER thin and stretchy over the whole tummy area, it doesn't compress the stomach at all. If I were you I'd probably opt for flowier clothes rather than compressing my stomach; I have no idea if it's safe or not, I'd ask your ob before doing it.

Interesting, thanks! I had no idea that maternity spanx existed!

Wow I went my whole last pregnancy without knowing about a double gusset. Fail.

I've never understood the double gusset thing. How do people pee through them?

@vino831 I work in performing arts and hired an actress who insisted on having shapewear with them for every costume. I wasn't sold until my wedding day when THANK GOD what I'd chosen had one because that dress coming off just wasn't happening more than once. 

@DrillSergeantCat I just hold it open wide enough that it stays out of the way/dry?

@sunshine507 I've never been able to use them without feeling like I'm about to pee all over my hand. And, maybe I'm just not ladylike enough, but it always feels like they're gaping open and I feel a breeze up my nethers.

@DrillSergeantCat Never had those issues (maybe it's a brand difference in widths?), but I can imagine I'd avoid them too in that case!
