It is very hard to find a choice between 1-inch-above-belly-button and barely-above-crack. It's just as annoying in the front. You can completely cover (and thus emphasize) your post-partum flabby belly or you can put it on display with jeans that ride juuuuust under it. Mmmmm. Muffin-top with extra muffin in the front. Blech. My problem is that while SNL mocks “mom jeans”, they’re pretty much the only pants that don’t show some skivvy when you crouch, bend, sit, or basically breathe.

I gave up thongs in the 90's but I can't part with my lacy skimpy skivvies. I am not a fan of VPs, but I imagine some Moms, like myself, had a plethora of pretty underthings pre baby and now that we (read I) finally lost most of the baby weight, pulled them back out and burned the granny panties. (Wish I hadn't since I am pregnant with #2). The same probably goes for the low waisted jeans. Who wants to throw out a $200 pair of jeans if they still fit just because your a mom? At some point, some of us moms will have to retire them and move into a Hepburn era and out of the Paris Hilton age.
