Maternity Panties???

I'm not too far along yet, but when I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago my first purchase was maternity panties. I wasn't showing but my undies just weren't staying up. At the time I was a 3X and bought some briefs from Motherhood Maternity and they went all the way up my bump, even at 9 months. I was looking around online a few days ago and I'm having a hard time finding those type of underwear again. I'll be an XL this time around and all I'm finding are bikinis, hipsters and thongs that sit below the belly. Due to my hanging panni I'm thinking under the belly styles won't be very comfy. So I'm looking for some tips from the Mommy's out there. Where did you get your maternity undies and what did you find to be the most comfy?

I loved Barely There from Target.  They aren't maternity panties but they are light control shapeware that go all the way up to your bra line.  They make a nice smooth bump that looks like a D instead of a B!

I just upped my vs undies to l instead of a med with this pregnancy last one I never changed sizes. undies can get expensive so I say just go up a size.

Thanks for the tips ladies!

I just bought regular ones in a larger size. I have a large hanging panni too and it was hard to find anything that fit perfect, but after some trial and error.... I settled with just my size in 2 sizes larger (sort of) but I didn't see a need to buy the maternity panties if regular ones fit and did the job. But then again... I'm cheap (or is it frugal? LOL)
