I didn't like having to constantly pull up the full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1896160 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 23:35:03 +0000 sunny 1896160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was not a fan of my gap maternity jeans! I got the full panel and it was sooooo itchy! The jeans would sag and get loose after just a few hours too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895979 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:02:26 +0000 looch 1895979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had both a demi panel and an ultimate panel pair. I wore the ultimate panel pair a lot more because they were dark blue, where the demis were white. I actually liked the demi panel post partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895978 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 20:01:00 +0000 meredithNYC 1895978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the "always skinny" Demi panel and love them! I'm 12 weeks. I expect to move to full panel maybe in 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895902 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:21:35 +0000 Boheme 1895902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the Demi panels </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895898 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:19:18 +0000 Ms.Badger 1895898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Thank you, i thought I was the only one who loves demi panels. I found the full panels made my belly so itchy! I wore demi panels until I delivered and am in them right now at 10.5 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895887 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:12:50 +0000 dc yoga bee 1895887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine just came in the mail!! My friend swore by the demi panel Work Trousers, and demi panel jeans. At the moment, I cannot stand anything on my belly. I love love love the demi panel. Doesn't engulf my belly, no muffin top, and this is the most comfortable I've been with all this bloat haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895871 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:04:21 +0000 blackbird 1895871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite are the long and lean full panel. I also have a pair of full panel boot cut. I don't care for non full panel jeans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895865 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:02:09 +0000 Smurfette 1895865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated demi panel. Gave me a muffin top. Full panel was comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895796 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:34:08 +0000 charmed 1895796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with full panel. I just sent back a pair of demi panel that I loved besides the panel - it hit my belly at a weird spot and was uncomfortable (I'm 26 weeks).</p> <p>I wish they had more color options for their full panel jeans b/c I would love to get some in a lighter color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895795 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:32:25 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1895795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two pairs of gap maternity jeans. Both full panel. In the early months I just folded the full panel down in half so it acted sorta like a Demi panel. Once the bump was huge I wore them regular. I found that the Demi panels were too tight and uncomfortable.<br /> I also had a pair of gap shorts that had hidden elastic that was adjustable. Those were great during my 2nd tri and early 3rd tri. They just sat below my bump were super comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895752 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:04:49 +0000 Snowdrop 1895752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pair of demi panel ones i was given, at first they were my favourite but now at 24 weeks they always end up under my bump, I would get either under bump or massive full panel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895749 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 17:01:39 +0000 CakeLady 1895749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two pairs of gap maternity jeans, demi panel and full panel, and I HATED both. They got saggy really fast in the knees and butt. The demi panel was tight and uncomfortable and the full panel was always too loose. </p> <p>I had better luck with jeans that I bought at Destination Maternity, I think the brand was indigo blue - they were about $40 and they held up really well and fit until the end of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gap-maternity-jeans-panel-types#post-1895741 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 16:53:09 +0000 Mrs.KMM 1895741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my friend (who has a 4 months old) swears by the Gap maternity jeans. I saw they are currently 40% off so I wanted to take advantage and get a pair or two (if my bloat keeps up like this, I'm going to be forced out of my normal pants soon).</p> <p>But I go to look at them and there are 5 different panel options and I don't even know what to go for. Elastic inserts, full panel, demi panel, front demi panel, or ultimate panel (who's description sounds like front demi panel - what's the difference?)</p> <p>What type of panel did you find to work best / be most comfortable with Gap maternity jeans? Did you have different panel types for different trimesters? </p>
