Is there such a thing as comfortable maternity pants?
ByI am in the third trimester and have a heck of time. I am looking for comfortable maternity pants to wear to work; either dress pants or jeans. I wear the jeans with the stretchy fabric that covers my stomach but my underwear is always slipping down or the fabric on the jeans is too loose, etc.
Any advice?

Visit a specialty maternity clothing store and ask the associate to help you find clothes that fit well, or stick to skirts.

I got my black maternity dress pants from Target! They were really comfortable too. Just make sure to try them on before you buy them. You could always go one size smaller for a little bit and then get the next size up when those get too tight.

I have a pair of black pants that could be used as dress pants. The stretchy part goes litterally up to my chest so it stays over my belly and they are theee most comfortable pair ever.. the store i got them from was called mother hood i think.. they have a website.. i wish iw ould have gotten more pairs when i was at the actual store, the closest store to me is 2hours away so.. good luck finding up.. ive had a hard time finding other comfy pairs…

Yes! I had the same problem, but I went to Motherhood Maternity store and the lady there helped me find the most comfortable pair of jeans ever! They are stretchy but they stay where they are supposed to and dont get too loose. My husband calls them my “good attitude” pants because I used to get so irritated when I would have to wear other jeans!

I couldn’t stand the maternity pants that went all the way over my belly. I found that the ones with like 3-4 inches of stretchy material at the top was way more comfortable. They also sell these things called belly bands. They are just soft stretchy material that you can use to keep the maternity pants up. I’ve seen them at Target.

Target has alot of good stuff. Right now they have these black stretchy pants (im not even sure theyre maternity) for $15. Theyre super comfy and can look dressy depending on the shoes and shirts you wear with it. As far as jeans, I just buy them in a bigger size. But i also have a Belly band that goes over your prepregnancy pants so you can wear them unbuttoned and unzipped and just looks like a cami under your regular shirt. I also wear alot of dresses with leggings under them. Depending where you live, that might be feasable as well. =)

there is no such thing as comfort when you are pregnant. but i had a great pair of jeans from old navy that didn’t go all the way over the belly, which i hated, and wore them so much they gave out by the second pregnancy. but i don’t think old navy maternity is available in many stores anymore. might check consignment shops until you find something that fits better. i didn’t like motherhood maternity clothes much

Depending on your size check out these jeans,

I bought them in size 13 and after buying 4 crappy pairs of designer maternity denim I wear them non-stop. I got mine at Macy’s on a rack for 14.99 but wanted more so I tracked them down to this site. They are long so wash them and they will shrink in length. They are the only jeans I have that stay up, flatter my preggy ars, and don’t roll down.
Also I use my maternity support belt to hold up my other pants.
As for the panties, try the seamless bikini’s from motherhood. I adore them…

Not for me. I was getting big so quickly that they got too small for me in 1 week and them I just couldn’t find comfortable ones.
