I was tugging up some panties after a long relaxing bath yesterday and noticed they're getting a little snug. WHAT? I've only gained 5 pounds and I've gained more than that in the past and not had this problem. What's going on? I had to tell DH that I need to go panty shopping soon, and they might turn out to be grannies.... ugh.
Anyone else finding panties don't fit in addition to bras?

I suggest looking into some "Barely there" bikini ones. They are soft, comfy and they breathe. I wore these before my son, all the way through my pregnancy (I got huge) and after. I love them. I get mine at Kohl's, but I'm sure they sell them other places or online.
VS has some great lace-top cotton hiphuggers that are great for this... cute, comfortable, no VPL.
You know, the scale says I haven't gained any weight, but my tape measure gave me two more inches on my hips!! What's going on!?!
This is probably a good time to buy super stretchy everything. I've been living in sports bras and non-cotton undies. Good luck on your shopping trip!
Sometimes we wear stretchy pants. It's for fun.

My theory is that when my Hanky Panky thongs stop fitting, I'm buying Hanky Panky maternity thongs.
I'm definitely done with my regular pants (except for with a Be band, but I haven't found it that comfortable), but my undies still mostly fit. I anticipate needing new ones in a couple of weeks.
