Is there maternity underwear that isn't non-elastic bikini?

I feel like the maternity bikini underwear just hangs out too low and barely covers my lady parts. I've only ever seen the non-elastic bikini and they seem to want to fall off. Some pants pull them right off my hips and under my butt. (It might be the curse of not having hips as a full figured girl.) But when I buy underwear the next size up, they are too huge and wrinkly on my butt.

Are there other options?

Last PG I actually cut a slit in all my regular underwear's elastic and my DH fears me doing this again. Chat Icon

TIA!!!!!

Crashing from parenting, but when I was pg I wore my regular thongs. They're stretchy and cotton and I never had a problem becuase they sat below my belly. I did buy some maternity thongs from ON but they were cut weird and I didn't like them. I hate bikinis becuase they always give me wedgies. Chat Icon

eta- They are low rise thongs, maybe that's part of why they worked.

Check out Motherhood. I got a few pairs of maternity undies and maternity thongs from ON. (No, I'm not kidding. They were great!)

Old Navy.

What kind of undies do you want?

I've seen the ones that have the maternity panel.

At Destination Maternity, they had elastic bikini and boy shorts and maybe another kind, I can't quite remember.

OH!!!! Old Navy! Now I get it! Chat Icon Chat Icon Thanks for translating for me.

I didn't know other kinds of maternity underwear existed. Since I only have non-elastic, I guess I need elastic. I am on the hunt now!

Awesome!!

I've ordered a bra extender but until it comes, I've just been wearing loose tops, unhooking it and hoping for the best!
