Updated review 8/6/22: After wearing these for about a month, I wanted to update my review. I had bought Large and returned for XXL which is my actual hip measurement. However, I probably could have strangely gone with the XL. The XXL are wearable at that size, but just sliiiiightly loose (esp the waistband) as the day wears on, and some colors seem looser than others. However, I am growing fast in pregnancy and the XXL will be absolutely perfect very shortly. I have to comment that actually after washing and wearing the month, these are the better brand for me, as the crotch of the M**** one is narrower and the backside coverage is a little more scant so I find myself pulling on the backside legs of the M**** ones like when I stand up because you get a bit of shifting, wedgie with those. I'm back on Amazon to buy another pack of this brand. They wash up beautifully and are sturdy quality (not all paper thin like some brands). I would still like to see a light colored 5 pack rather than mix of light and dark colors. I prefer light colors or all nude pk. Oh, for people with a fairly generous thighs, I have found so many brands have TIGHT leg holes that make the elastics or bands feel like they are cutting in (some even leave deep red marks). I call them cheese wire leg bands. However, someone for this brand sized the leg holes perfectly and they are neither flapping and gaping nor are they tight and painful. Nice soft, stretchy. This may be important to someone else down the road so I thought I should mention it. I changed my review to 5 stars but I still would caution on the sizing if ordering. Maybe one size up?Original review: 7/2022I bought these and some from m***hood maternity on Amazon. I bought size Large in both based on reviews. The M***hood ones are exponentially larger - I'll take a chance washing them. I am 5, 4; 150 lbs, 4th pregnancy. I wear a size Large underwear right now (but the band not the underwear is getting too inflexible to grow with bump). This brand is probably a good size down from my current non pregnancy underwear (and my underwear is washed and dried hot). My hips are about 45". I kind of find it hard to believe I would be in a 2X underwear by 12 weeks pregnant? Most people are larger than I am pregnant, so what would they wear, what will I wear when I get closer to 3rd trimester? I didn't try them on, I just took them out of the package, laughed, and held them up to my hips and the edges barely stretched to hip bones, stretched hard, there is no way, washed, that they would even go on. One of the reviews said they were 160 lbs and a size Medium? Again, if you are 16+, I don't think this brand has sizing to accommodate you. I am about 12/14 in pants, or medium/sometimes large in skirts. I'm reordering in a 2X because they do seem like nice, quality and soft underwear. But please beware on the sizing! Maybe they will be giant after an hour of wearing, I don't know, but I can't take a chance on buying 5 pairs of painfully tight undies.
