“I love maternity pants,” shares Alicia, a paraplegic. Nope, she’s not pregnant, but she’s all about the elastic. “You forego all the zipper and buttons and everything…because when you sit they just buckle up and you have this extra lump.” Not to mention it’s a great way to avoid some issues like pressure sores.
“It’s easier to get on because they’re stretchier and they still look nice under a top,” she says. There’s a maternity panel in the front, but because she’s always sitting, it doesn’t get seen. You wouldn’t know she’s wearing maternity jeans unless she told you. The last benefit is the coverage in the back. “You all know the dreaded ‘the pants go down and your underwear’s hanging out,’ it’s awful,” she says. She’s found that the back panel stays high up, allowing her to move around comfortably without risk of exposing anything.
