I'm 33 weeks and still wearing the same size in thongs every day--if anything, I think my butt has gotten a little smaller/more toned. Did your panty/undie/thong size change, and if so, when? Was it because of your belly or your butt or what? (I have heard I should buy bigger ones I don't mind tossing for post-partum, but at this rate I'm thinking I just use old ones I already have...)
-
Nope. I wore the same panties thru pregnancy. I had a lot of thongs and low cut ones so they fit my changing body just fine!
-
I did go up a size, but I gained a lot of weight. my hips definitely got bigger and I was more comfortable in a bigger size
-
Not during pregnancy, but for PP I bought a few pairs of giant granny panties that could hold a pad. Most of my underware don't have the amount of fabric required to hold those monster pad.
-
Nope, I was able to still wear the same size.
-
I'm still making my normal underwear work at 35 weeks (although that wouldn't be the case if they weren't super stretchy, haha). I bought some MONSTER undies for PP pads, and my butt is definitely bigger, but I haven't had to replace all my regular underwear, thank goodness.
-
I think I stayed the same but I had to replace my underwear PP because they got too stretched out!
-
probably but I wore VS 'the lacie' and Hanky Panky. They're 'one size fits all', super stretch lace
I bought Body by Victoria stretch panties in a size up for those monster PP pads (not to mention a million stitches).
-
I had to go up a size but I gained 60 lbs. yikes.
-
yes definitely. i think it's just because i was wearing underwear that was too tiny anyway.
-
For some reason I was thinking it was really common to go up a size...interesting that most of the responses so far are no! I guess I always assumed I would need bigger ones since they sell maternity panties.
-
I am wearing a lot of the same size. I went out and bought some bigger thinking it would be more comfy. About the same. Didnt really need to and 37 weeks now, so dont think that will change.
-
I bought some bigger sizes because I thought I would need them, but they just ended up being too big and saggy!
-
@tororojo: I was thinking the same thing!!! I thought it was the norm to go up a size, so I'm definitely very surprised to see the majority maintaining the same size. Yay for one less maternity item to buy!
-
@Alivoo01: No joke! Now if only bra sizes would stay the same...
-
@rachiecakes: Yeah, I think all my thongs are the Lacie. Best underwear ever. I like Gap normal underwear better than VS though, for some reason. I never bought "maternity" underwear.
-
I ended up buying some more lace-waist hiphugger panties from VS as I got bigger. I had a couple pair already, and they were the only ones that were comfortable, eventually. My butt still fits into all my old ones, but the waists are just too uncomfortable. The stretchy lace waist on the VS panties are perfect for a growing bump.
-
I didn't have to go up in size. My underwear is pretty gnarly now that i put them through 2 pregnancies. Slowly throwing them out and going to buy some more
-
I bought maternity undies and found that later in my pregnancy, they were useless. My normal underwear is much higher quality and more stretchy than the maternity. So I outgrew the maternity underwear (mainly the elastic around the thighs became too tight) and I'm still wearing my normal underwear. My advice: Don't waste money on maternity undies.
-
At 30 weeks and so far no. Hope it stays that way.
-
Yes...I was swollen!
-
Yup I gained in the booty and thighs, had to buy some undies a size up!
-
I went up a size in panties because my butt grew. It was a pleasant change!
-
Probably. All my underwears are super tight but I'm too cheap/lazy to buy new ones so I just deal with it.
-
I bought some big cotton granny panties in a size up. I needed them towards the end of my pregnancy for sure and they were great for the post partum period where I was wearing a huge pad every day
-
I went up just for comfort. I hated the way my regular underwear rolled down under my belly.
-
Yep. Went up one size and felt like a new woman. Was sooo much more comfy. I just bought cheapies
-
Nope, no change.
-
I bought some cheap underwear a size up. Like Mrs. Bee, I'm pretty sure my pre-preg underwear was too small.
-
Yep, and it was so much more comfortable. My normal size fit all the way through, but I didn't want any clothes to touch me more than necessary.
-
Yep. The seams kept digging into my sides it was SO annoying. I wish I had those mesh undies they gave out in the hospital. Those were ugly and comfortable =]
-
I posted about this too and needed to go up a size in some brands around 2nd trimester. I've noticed it's mostly boy shorts styles that I needed to go up a size if there was a band or detail on the leg opening.
-
Yup. I didn't gain thAt much weight but my hip bones widened. My body was very accommodating, ha!
-
Yep. My belly pokes out where the underwear band goes across and it was digging in. I wasn't wearing anything super stretchy by any means, though. And I don't think my butt or hips have gotten wider...neither does DH.
-
Yep. I actually went up 1 size first, and then 2 sizes. I'm only 20 weeks so hoping I won't have to go up another.
Oh and for me it was my butt and thighs. The normal sized undies just weren't fitting right. They'd ride 'back' throughout the day so the majority of the underwear was behind me and the front was extra tight. Really weird. Most of my undies were actually old anyway, so I threw them away and plan to buy myself nice new ones after baby. Just got some cheap big ones at Target in the mean time.
-
Nope, I'm 35w and wearing the same undies as before.
