Maternity Underwear?

sparkles98 · November 2013

What kind do you get? I haven't seen any marketed for maternity do you just buy the high cuts? They just remind me of my grandmother lol. As my belly is growing it's starting to push my regular bikinis down

I didn't buy maternity panties with my last pregnancy, and don't plan to this one. I just wear my regular undies under my belly, and had not issues!

I have honestly never heard of anyone buying special underwear for pregnancy.

I've seen Hanky Panky thongs in maternity but no other kinds. The first time around, in the last month, nothing fit, so I bought an 8-pack of Hanes from Target. If i ruined them postpartum, i figred no biggie. I would even wear them recently when AF would show up.

I went TO motherhood maternity and got a few thongs and boy cuts. Soo comfy bc my current underwear is tight and cutting off my fat on my hips haha. But for when baby comes with all the bleeding afterwards I went and got cheapo granny panty Hanes bc you don't want anything to touch your csection scar if you have one so I would pull them up high. Attractive? No but you don't care when you bleed for 9 weeks. I wasn't going to ruin my nice underwear.

I went and got granny panties from Hanes. I'd rather be comfortable than fashionable at this point. I figure they're cheap enough to just throw away once I don't need them anymore.

Definitely this. I was also able to wear low cut panties from VS throughout pregnancy.

You can buy maternity underwear, but they're super overpriced (like most maternity stuff). I just wore my usual Hanky Panky thongs; they're one size fits all, so they worked well throughout my pregnancy. They also make boy shorts if you don't like thongs (although I find their thongs more comfy than "normal" underwear). You can find HP knockoff brands at Victoria's Secret.

I never had trouble with regular underwear - maybe try a different style that's more low cut? I personally can't stand anything that comes up on my belly but your mileage may vary on that

I bought the Gap stretch cotton bikini and I love them! None of my other undies are as comfortable so I'll definitely be buying some more of those.

mcgeeva · November 2013

Eh my ass and hips grew some so my medium vs underwear and thongs the side wide bands are now rolling

Tmi, but I just went commando about 5 months into my first pregnancy. Freedom! I couldn't stand scrunching the panty band under my bump.

Fold over tops from motherhood are amazing. They are like yoga pant tops..

I scoffed at the idea of maternity underwear until I tried them in my first pregnancy - holy comfort! Thyme makes some amazing ones with no elastic, that are low rise, so they go well beneath even a huge third trimester bump. They were also more generous in leaving material to cover your bum, which I appreciate! No gitch lines and nothing digging in anywhere. I'd highly recommend them. They lasted me into this pregnancy as well, so it was a good investment.

ALL OF THIS!!!! I havent busted them out this time yet, but they're in the bedroom ready to go!

When I was pregnant with DS and my underwear got uncomfortable, I bought a pack of ginormous Fruit of the Loom granny briefs and rocked those bitches all the way from late 2nd tri through 11 weeks of postpartum bleeding. They were fugly and so big a child could've used them as a parachute, but I didn't care. I was comfortable and that was all that mattered.

Meery82 · November 2013

I wore my usual underwear the whole time.

This would never happen! I had to wear a panty liners for half my pregnancy due to leaking anio

I would love to know how this works?! I could never do this! I sneeze I pee...I need all the protection I can get from my underwear. And last pregnancy I was leakig amniotic fluid so I have to wear panty lines half my pregnancy.

JennyVinny · November 2013

I did not buy maternity underwear (I have heard they are pretty uncomfortable). I bought the Hanes/Fruit of the Loom briefs from Target in a larger size.

This totally! I never would have bought them for myself but my Mom actually got them from a Thyme outlet on sale at Christmas (apparently they were only selling the multi packs for the holidays). I LOVE love love them and have worn them ever since. That and my mat jeans are the best maternity wear pieces I have ever had.

I just bought 5 new pairs of gap regular cotton stretch underwear and they're the best! I'm going to have to get more ASAP!

We'll that was with my first pregnancy...I may have to give into granny panties this time around. My bladder isn't too weak YET; it will be a different story in a few weeks.

I don't intend on buying maternity undies. They seem kinda pointless to me. I'm stickin' with my regular VS cheekinis and bikinis! :] I might just get a few that are a size bigger though.

LEIGHLOVE09 · November 2013

I never bought any with my first. My other ones fit me the whole way through.
