I'm a full-panel lover!

I said "depends on the pant" because, while mostly I could only deal with full-panel, I had a few pants that were demi-panel and were pretty comfy/didn't fall down. I think they are just all different and you have to try them on. If you can't try them on in person, I would go with full-panel.

I always wore full panel, but I only bought the kind that was the "secret belly fit" and made of a thin material kind of like tights. They never slid down and were never tight or too hot and I gave birth in July and was wearing my Mat clothes the whole summer (even after I gave birth, haha).

They have this type in many brands and price ranges. http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?product_Id=233530290&MasterCategory_Id=MC27

The lower panel pants gave me terrible, terrible muffin top.

I hated full panel because it made my belly so itchy! I mostly wore dresses and non-maternity stretchy pants.

full panel all the way. i wore my maternity leggings well after having kids!

I live full panel, definitely the way to go in my opinion

I prefer full panel. I just feel more secure in it.

Haha @.twist. :too funny

I have every kind of maternity pant/panel possible and I strongly prefer a full panel. Total opposite of what I thought I'd like! I have some really nice jeans that have the side panel and some gap demi-panels...both are really tight and/or itchy to me.
I also just feel like the full panel smooths my bump nicely and kind of holds my shirt in place.

@Anagram: This is the kind I wore as well.

I didn't vote because for me it depends on the stage of pregnancy I'm in. I loved the under belly ones in the early stages when the belly wasn't as pronounced and after birth (whenever yoga pants were not appropriate). Later in pregnancy I mainly wore full panel one because they just were more comfortable for me at that point.

I am allll about full panel. They were the only ones that didn't fall off.

I prefer the low panel because I hate the tightness of the full panel. I do have a few pairs of the full panel that I wear, but I try to stick to low panel and/or dresses whenever possible. Full panel yoga pants are super comfy though and I wore mine in between pregnancies and will keep wearing them after #2 is born I'm sure.

Full panel here as well, although I did have one pair of demi panel jeans and they just didn't stay up well.

Another full panel lover here. I bought all my jeans from Motherhood maternity with the similar panels that @Anagram: mentioned (secret belly fit). So comfy!!

I bought a pair of under belly maternity slacks from Gap and by the 3rd trimester, it was super duper uncomfortable. It actually dug into my belly if I sat down. No bueno.

Full panel, they we the most comfortable all the way into the end.

I only like demi panels. Full panels made me feel weird and I hated having my belly covered. Demi panels work nicely after baby, too.

Full panel! They are so comfortable! To me it feels similar to wearing a tighter camisole under my shirt. I have tried all of them and all I will buy this time is full panel.

Full panel until my belly got so big in the 3rd tri that it started getting uncomfortable (I carried wayyy out front). At that point, the elastic panel in the "perfect fit" belly got so itchy I couldn't stand it! I ended up just folding it down (like you would yoga pants) to create a demi-panel until the end. Worked great!

I like low panel with a very wide, stretchy band. I have been really loving my Old Navy pants this pregnancy and I am currently at 32.5 weeks. I also like skirts and maxi skirts with the soft, wide fold down panels (both Old Navy and Gap).

Full panel pants either slide down on me or they make me feel like I'm dying if they are too snug (but I've been having issues with the baby sitting really high and so I HATE the feeling of ANYTHING on my ribcage).
