It seems the time has come to invest in some trousers with an elasticated waist band.....confused

When I sit down in my jeans they're just too tight around my middle but they fit perfectly well everywhere else. (A bigger size would be too baggy). i'm size 10/12.

Can anyone recommend some stylish / comfy trousers. I suffer from IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and sometime my tummy sometimes swells up a bit so I'm looking for comfort..

I had the same experience, Elrel, though the trousers I bought claimed to be 'medium' which was my usual length. Now I have to buy their 'short' ones. I have bought Cotton Traders' 29" trousers which are just right for me, but their waist sizes aren't always what I expected.

Matalan jeans have a really loose waistband holdthetonic So if the problem is that the jeans fit except for over your tummy (like me!) try the Matalan ones, they are inexpensive so not that good quality, but o.k.

The well knows shopping channel sell quite a lot of elasticated trousers - I've got several pairs in various guises - jeans, leggings, straight legs and wide flares. Very comfy and with tops covering the waist no one is any the wiser grin
