Question about maternity pantyhose

Has anyone bought a pair from Motherhood?  I would like to wear one of the dresses hanging in my closet looking all forlorn with the tags still on, but would need to wear panty house with it.

What's the sizing like?  I typically find Mootherhood pretty true to size, but hate tight panty hose.  Should I stick to my regular size or get one size up?

I don't want them to cut half way across the belly.   

 

Re: Question about maternity pantyhose

  • I never bought the maternity ones but buying regular ones in a larger size  worked well for me when I was 8.5 months pg and wearing a dress to DH's Christmas party.
  • The pair I bought (not from Motherhood) were a pain to wear. They kept falling down!

  • I bought two pairs from motherhood (I think maybe it was Thyme...)

    Anyway, bought them in my regular size. They weren't as tight as regular panty hose are (I'm tall, I always find them tight), so that part was good.

    The were actually a bit loose. They did the job, but fell down around my belly a lot by the end.  Although I was at a wedding and dancing a lot so that may have explained it.

    I say go for it. 

  • I never wore maternity ones, just bought Queen sized ones and they were fine. I'm tallish too but I have fat thighs..ha ha..so I hate pantyhose so I always get the biggest size just to be sure I'm not suctioned in them.
  • I found them to be fairly true in their size.
  • I bought some from Thyme. I found them an excellent fit and did not fall down.

    Actually, I still wear them because they don't get tight around my waistline, like regular pantyhose do. LOL
