My 5.5 year old is around 48 lbs but on the short side and has a bit of a belly/rounder middle (about 23-24 inches) but small butt. As a result I’m losing my mind trying to find good underwear for her. Cat and Jack briefs from Target in size 6 is what she wears now, and they’re a bit tight on her and sit pretty low, just above her privates, but the next size up (8) is too loose around her butt and still very low on her belly. I walked around Target and can’t figure out what might work better. It doesn’t need to come all the way up to her belly, though I would like to have something that’s a bit higher than the current undies, so briefs would be ideal, and we need something with smooth seams (this rules out Disney brand, she hates their seams). Size charts seem to suggest moving up to an 8 in whatever brand but the ones we tried were too loose around her butt. Anyone have brands that worked for similar sized kids?

Maybe high cut briefs from hanes? They might ride better on her body.
-
@Mrs. Cereal: I looked at all the Hanes ones but for some reason they go from size 6 and a max of 48 lbs to size 8 and a min of 61 lbs. The whole 50 lbs range is MIA so I wasn’t sure it’s worth even trying.

@Mrs. Carrot: have you tried Old Navy?
-
@Mamaof2: I haven’t!

I really like these for my daughter. She's only 2y9m but she's big (wears 4T in clothes). She doesn't have a small butt but she has a round belly and these come up higher than you're explaining. They're definitely form fitting on her butt so maybe they'll work on your daughter.

I don’t know if they would be better, but the carters ones have a much different fit and shape than the Disney ones. . And the seams are pretty smooth. But they definitely aren’t as high waisted as the Disney ones(I’m lucky neither of my kid has complained about the seams but I could see them being annoying!).

@skinnycow: oh these look promising thank you!
-
@Foodnerd81: thanks for this, I didn’t even consider Carters since their clothes run so small. Just stopped in to pick up a few size 6s and they’re definitely higher than the ones we have now so I’m hopeful!

Hanna Andersson has some very full coverage briefs, and the brand is generously sized, but you might find the seams kind of thick (I do)...and they're $$$.
I think the link that skinnycow posted is sort of a Hanna knockoff (moms who love Hanna tend to like them - I've seen them shared before on kids' clothing boards), so those might be perfect!
-
@PinkElephant: thanks, that’s good to know. I’m a Hanna fan but only on sale lol
