Thank God I found these. I thought I was going to be one of those women who only gain 15 lbs throughout the pregnancy but my baby had other ideas. Only two pair of my stretchiest regular underwear still fit (Im 34 weeks now) and Ive tried several different maternity panties but they're either too expensive to buy more than one pair or they fit way high up under my breasts and constrict my breathing even more than it already is. No thanks. These are my go-to everyday undies. They fit high enough to cover the bump but not too high. Theyre not loose but they're stretchy enough to grow with me. And theyve kept their shape and color through many washes. I was a 14/16 before pregnancy and Ive gained about 35 pounds carrying most in my belly (big baby).
