Where can I find women's pants with comfortable elastic waist?

Hello,

I recently wore my comfy pajama bottoms on a flight because they have a non-constricting elastic waistband, which helped prevent any discomfort from my IBS.

Can anyone recommend a brand of women's casual pants that features a comfortable, non-restrictive elastic waistband? I really need suggestions. Thank you in advance for your help!

  1. Here is an article that may help or at least give you a place to start: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/clothing-conundrum-part-1 Many of our community members go through the same thing! You are not alone. Keep on keepin' on, DPM

    1. unfortunately there were no recommendations in the article you sent. I hoped more people would have specific suggestions. I need help!

    2. It's difficult as we don't allow direct links to purchases unless it's a member saying specifically they recommend this or that brand for health reasons. We do have some more general tips here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/clothing-bloat if that helps, or https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/my-clothes but, unfortunately, it's the best we've got. Hopefully someone can chime in with an actual brand! Keep on keepin' on, DPM

  3. Maybe yoga pants or cross-waist pants that would put less pressure on the tummy, but watch out for too much spandex or anything like that because it might be too constricting. Earthbound made some very comfortable cross-waist pants that were 96% polyester and 4% spandex, but I haven't been able to find them lately. Halara is 79% polyester and 21% elastane, which is often too much pressure for me. Maybe you could find something on Amazon with a good blend.

  4. p.s. to old navy, eddie bauer pants i have size medium, i could wear small, but bit of extra room better and drawstring adjusts waist for comfort
