Full Panel Maternity Pants

stellar77 · August 2013

My last pregnancy I don't know how I got by without having a pair of full panel however this pregnancy my body is so much different (I started out 10-15 pounds heavier)

I'm in Demi-Panel pants right now and they are just ridiculous. I am not comfortable at all. I bought a pair of Gap capris and gross. Talk about muffin top! (they weren't tight either they just fit weird.

Anyway I guess in all my rambling does anyone get bothered by having their stomach fully covered by the full panel? For whatever reason I feel as though I would be bothered.

TIA!

Several of my friends just loved the full panel pants, but I can't stand them. Even at the end of my pregnancy with DD, the demi panel pants sometimes wouldn't stay up but I thought they were infinitely more comfortable. That's just my opinion though!

I love my full panel pants. They pull everything together and make everything nice and smooth which is nice because I can wear shirts that hug my bump.

I loved the full panel before. Especially since it will be cooler weather by the time you're wearing it daily, I don't think it will be too much of a bother. I felt more "protected," plus it smoothed everything out. Also, maternity jeans have a bad habit of slipping down, and I found the full panel helped keep them up. Just my 2 cents!

I have a few styles. The full panel gets a bit hot for me, but so far it's OK tightness wise. (I also like the pants with a low waist band and elastic in place of the front pockets.)

I got a pair with the elastic only in the back. They were great for the first few months, but I can't stand them now that I've moved into real bump territory. I think style of preferred maternity pants totally depends on each person and each pregnancy.

I have full panels, but right now, I cannot stand them being pulled up. So I've been folding them down halfway. I'm insanely itchy and the full panel up just makes it so much worse on my tummy.

I have only the full panel ones. I like them and think they will last longer.

I love full panel, except when it gets really hot out. But Mother Nature is being a bitch this summer and not giving me a real summer, so the full panel doesn't bother me at all.

I LOVE my full panel. It's all I can comfortably wear. The mid panel cut me off and the line shows through my shirts and the low ones are always too loose on me.

stellar77 · August 2013

Thanks girls. I think at this point all I can do is get a pair, wear them & hope they work... Something has to give.

I have a few full panel pairs from Thyme, they are the 3-in-1 and you can fold them over which I love because the top of the panel is a bit loose, but I love folding them down right at my belly button and they act like a bra for the tummy lol. Holds it all in and I feel like I am not sore by the end of the day like when I wear a dress. Also the fold over tucks in all of the hip stuff going on.

I was LOVING my gap pants demi panel and yes, now I feel like I am muffin tops over it! What happened?!!?

This exactly. I could fold my panel down but it doesn't look as nice

Oh & I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one having some issues

Secret Fit full panels are the best. ever.

I agree 100% about Gap demi panel pants. Usually, I love full panel, but in the summer my stomach gets so hot. Otherwise, full panel all the way.

OSUWifey09 · August 2013

I like the full panel because it doesn't cut my tummy off in weird places. I have full panel work pants from Gap, along with a pair of Secret Fit full panel jeans from Motherhood Maternity. I need to get another pair of Secret Panel jeans...those are my favorite.

I hated them the first time, and I hate them again this time. Maybe I will like them the closer I get to birthing.

I LOVE my Secret Fit Belly full-panels! I don't go any other way.

Sometimes, to keep the pants up later in the pregnancy, the belly bands you can get anywhere can be helpful when put on the outside.

this!
The only thing is that after I eat, I fold it down a little... but i really like the panel pants!

I loved full panel with my first. They stayed up so much better. I felt like I was constantly pulling up the demi panel ones. A Bella Band helped, but adding that one more layer of fabric just made me hot!

This time, I still like my full panel better, but can tolerate the demi better. I still feel like I need to pull them up sometimes, but it isn't as bad. Opposite of you, I am actually starting this pregnancy out about 10-15 lbs lighter than my last (thank you 13 mo nursing diet!). So maybe that is the difference for me. I'm sure as this belly grows, though, I will go back to my full panel preference. By the time winter comes, however, I won't mind the extra layer of fabric either. So I guess not a big of a deal as last time

The Demi also often feels like it is too tight in just the wrong areas on me. Like right after I eat they are not comfy AT ALL. I feel like I need to loosen my belt.

I only have full panels and love them!

I have been wearing my maternity pants from last pg and I only like Demi panel if it is super stretchy. Gap seems to make stiff Demi panels. The full panel pants I fold down into half because I don't like it covering my whole tummy yet. I did that for most of my pregnancy last time. I have a really short torso, so the full panel just goes way too high (and bothers me) unless I'm very pregnant.

just tried on my first pair of full panels today and i loved them! i wish i could wear them all the time and not look silly

I don't get hot very easily and its such a cool summer here that I don't mind the extra fabric at all.

I love full panel!

nbbride06 · August 2013

I can't stand demi panel and I love full panel. The demi panel to me is tighter and hurts my stomach (even pre-pregnancy I don't like anything tight on my stomach). And I actually weigh less this pregnancy than I did my last pregnancy. Doesn't matter...still don't like demi panel.

baby2ra · August 2013

The shorts I have all have the Demi panel. It seems too hot right now to wear full panel. All of my jeans and winter pants have the full panel because I loved it last time. I think it smoothed my belly out a little bit

This!!

I like the full panel pants towards the end of pregnancy. Right now they just don't fit me, my bump isn't big enough.

This 100%. I thought they would bother me but I have not had an issue.
