These are AMAZING! If you are considering it, thinking maybe they are unnecessary, I can assure you, buy them. My regular underwear was causing a line to cut into my growing belly (at 20wks) and was a bit uncomfortable. Not to mention, I gained a bit of booty, so they were running a bit small. These fit perfect and are so comfortable. I'm now 22wks (I like to thoroughly test products before I review) and they are still very comfortable. My normal underwear is a medium and I got these in large. They have a bit of room but are not baggy by any means. I bought both these and the bikini and these are more comfortable due to the fullness of the coverage. I'm very very picky about the fabric of my underwear and these don't irritate my skin at all. Soft and not scratchy at all. Seriously, buy these. You won't regret it.

*Update* These are also great postpartum. Once you are done with the hospital mesh underwear of course!
