Has anyone tried maternity panties? I've spent so much money trying to get panties to fit over the IC belly and most give me a flare. I really need some help. It would be great if the IC store could get into clothing, especially panties. Meanwhile I do see some maternity panties online and have no idea how the sizes work.
THAT is a great idea !! Panties are my hardest thing to find that fit. If they "fit"they hurt!! And if I buy them a size too big, what's the point?? They're gonna fall down!!! I'm going to look into that too!!! Let me know what you find out!!! Been a long time since needed em!! LOL!!!

It's been many, many years, but when I had maternity panties, I bought my normal size --- which by the way was smaller than what fits now.
I don't have a problem with underpants, but I do buy a size larger than what I would normally need.

Have you checked the ICN Shop?
Click on ICN Shop at the top of this page. You'll find Bladder Builder and Bladder Rest, both of which we are finding have excellent results.

It's hard to say, they have sizes 3X and 4X not really sure what to do here.
I saw pictures on a maternity page. The panties covered the lower part and the belly was exposed. I tried this with my panties and am more comfortable.
