I agree you will probably need to try on a few styles and sizes though. My local store had very few styles and sizes so I just ordered a bunch and returned most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2820054 Thu, 03 May 2018 10:46:53 +0000 Littlebit7 2820054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I did find that I had to order and try on a lot of sizes and lengths. I don’t know if you are tall or short but I need a shorter inseam...I’m not quite petite sizing though. Thankfully Nordstrom is great about that. I found that even different colors fit differently (some were stretchier than others) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2820052 Thu, 03 May 2018 10:39:58 +0000 HappyBaker 2820052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: Awesome thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2820050 Thu, 03 May 2018 10:37:34 +0000 Littlebit7 2820050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have these<br /> <a href="https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-ab-solution-ankle-skimmer-jeans-nordstrom-exclusive/4819203?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=IN-%20INDIGO" rel="nofollow">https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-ab-solution-ankle-skimmer-jeans-nordstrom-exclusive/4819203?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=IN-%20INDIGO</a><br /> They hit at the top of my ankles and are really cute<br /> I also have these<br /> <a href="https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-super-smooth-stretch-denim-skinny-jeans-dark-navy-regular-petite-nordstrom-exclusive/4021192?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=DARK%20NAVY" rel="nofollow">https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wit-wisdom-super-smooth-stretch-denim-skinny-jeans-dark-navy-regular-petite-nordstrom-exclusive/4021192?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=DARK%20NAVY</a></p> <p>I think you can’t go wrong as long as it mid or high rise. They all have this super forgiving elastic waistband thing that isn’t visible except from the inside. They look like normal jeans. </p> <p>If you want to tuck in a lot of pooch look at the high rise moto jean from topshop. They aren’t as stretchy but the high rise hides a multitude of sins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2820044 Thu, 03 May 2018 10:20:26 +0000 HappyBaker 2820044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: @RonjaL7: @Foodnerd81: For the Wit and Wisdom ones - is it any that are called "Ab-solution"? The Nordstrom site has tons of options and I don't see the elastic pooch sucking part mentioned :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819981 Wed, 02 May 2018 20:43:37 +0000 turquoisemama 2819981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819898 Wed, 02 May 2018 13:51:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2819898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RonjaL7: @Littlebit7: lounging in my wit and wisdom jeans right now (is it post partum if my youngest is 2?).

They have an inch wide elastic built into the inside that really hold everything in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819855 Wed, 02 May 2018 11:39:35 +0000 Mrs D 2819855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ruby Ribbon (a DS company) had some cute jeggings I lived in post DD2. They had a nice wide band at the waist that was meant to suck you in. I have the rockstar jeans too - I just felt the RR ones smoothed me out better. They arent cheap ($70ish?) but they are stretchy so just because you shed lbs they wouldnt all of the sudden not fit...plus they have lasted well quality wise. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819813 Wed, 02 May 2018 10:05:15 +0000 jape14 2819813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>j.crew factory boardwalk pull-on shorts! they are super comfortable, elastic waistband. I wore them 9mo pregnant through two pregnancies and the entire summer postpartum last year. they are mega forgiving! there's a similar version at madewell that I also highly recommend.</p> <p><a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/p/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/3-floral-jacquard-boardwalk-pullon-short/C2107?color_name=black" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/p/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/3-floral-jacquard-boardwalk-pullon-short/C2107?color_name=black</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819789 Wed, 02 May 2018 09:20:23 +0000 misolee 2819789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following!</p> <p>I'm six weeks PP and now my maternity clothes are sagging and too big.

I could lounge in the house all day in it and it still looked nice for going out. I found the fit very flattering on my postpartum belly too. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDCFUWG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDCFUWG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819774 Wed, 02 May 2018 09:04:11 +0000 Littlebit7 2819774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom’s wit and wisdom jeans or topshop high rise jeans (also from Nordstrom) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819767 Wed, 02 May 2018 08:55:53 +0000 Shantuck 2819767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: Those elastic waist old navy rockstar jeans were amazing for that in between period.

I like the mid-rise ones - they end above my belly button. I especially like the ones with elastic waistbands but the normal ones are great too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-postpartum-pooch-hiding-jeans-shorts-skirts#post-2819735 Wed, 02 May 2018 06:51:18 +0000 wrkbrk 2819735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Old Navy rockstar jeans!

I'm still wearing my 2 pairs of maternity jeans I had but really need to buy some new bottoms, especially now that the weather is turning nicer here! </p> <p>Do you have any favorites that do a good job of not highlighting a pooch-y belly? </p>
