Hi, Yes. I find anything tight around my waist sometimes can make the pain unbearable. I look forward every night to going home and putting on my pyjamas for comfort :)

Glad it’s not just me I thought I was going crazy! I’m the same, my partner laughs cos as soon as I step in the house I am stripping off into my comfies 😂 he always takes the mick out of me for it but it’s gotta be done!

I only ever wear low rise jeans, because anything with a higher waistband brings on pain along and gastro symptoms. I've actually only ever found 1 shop that sells low rise skinnies so now all my jeans are from there.

For work I only ever wear loose dresses and tights, but now I'm even finding the waistband on the tights makes me feel ill. Also wearing my seatbelt in the car is uncomfortable.

I love putting my pjs on when I get home!

I’ll have to try that! Which shop do you get your low rise from?! I’m the same only wear dresses and skirts and have a favourite pair of tights where the waistband has lost its elasticity, they end up with a baggy crotch all day long but better than pain! Yesterday I wore jeans to work and have been in agony ever since

Hollister. Got 3 pairs in different colours now, and some jeggings too.

Hope you get some relief from the pain soon!

Yeah I have the same problem. I hardly wear jeans anymore because of this but have found a trick I learned about when I was pregnant. Loop a hairband around the button hole in the jeans and tie the other end to the button. It gives a little extra room, but can only be done if you wear tops that cover the button area of your jeans. Other than that I just wear lose fitting dresses and skirts, but also have a problem with tights giving me pain.

Not what you're looking for?
