Unfortunately no. But I just went out and bought a couple multi packs of Hanes microfiber bikinis in the next size up and they seem to be great so far and I'm hoping they last the rest of the way.

No. I prefer thongs but between M/s and all the other discomforts of 1st tri I wanted real underwear. I bought some new pairs one size up but to be honest they kinda suck. I stocked up during the Soma sale and maybe because I wear them more often or something but they didn't last and I've had to throw a few pair away.
I bought one pack of maternity underwear on sale and I love them and want to go buy more. I just found them more comfortable overall even though many felt they were a waste of money. I'm on the border between regular and plus size and have a lot of junk back there, so maybe that made the difference for me.
I'm still in the early stages but I haven't bought any new underwear. I'm hoping I won't have to either. I wear Hanky Panky thongs and they have still been comfortable.
I'm wearing non-maternity underwear, but have had to buy new in a few sizes up. Even sitting below my bump, the waist just got too small and too tight, and was digging uncomfortably into the bottom of my belly. I just bought cheapie Hanes, and they have been okay, though they're starting to get too tight and uncomfortable again (even though the butt is sagging), but I won't buy any more because I'm so close -- I'll just suck it up.
If I had to do it again, I would just buy maternity underwear. But everyone carries differently, so ymmv.
For those of you who bought maternity underwear, where did you buy them? My underwear is starting to get tight, and I'm debating just stretching the shit out of these old ones, buying a size up, or getting some maternity pairs.

I normally wear thongs, and those are fine. My few pair of bikinis are giving me bad VPL and cutting into me weird so I have a size up on my shopping list, since I like to wear more than a thong under dresses and plan to live in dresses as the weather warms up, lol.

I'm at 25w and so far, no. I have been considering it though. All my current undies (thongs, bikinis, and boy shorts) are starting to cut into my lower belly a bit more than is comfortable. I'll probably end up buying some cheapie Hanes bikinis from target to get me through and use pp.

I had to buy new underwear during my first pregnancy. I ended up having to buy all new underwear afterward too because I ended up with a c-section and most of the underwear I wore were low rise and hit right at my incision. I still can't wear anything too close to it.
I have some Fruit of the Loom hipsters that are really nice and stretchy.

I bought some of the fold over underwear from motherhood maternity. I also still wear some of my regular underwear. But I find the maternity underwear more comfortable.
I need to try this fold over thing. My regular underwear is not comfortable and digs into my belly and my ass is growing at an impressive pace. I have some shitty maternity underwear I got a while ago but undies that fold-over sound amazing. I feel like my bump begins practically before my vagina ends. There's a nice visual for everyone, you're welcome.
No, I was able to wear my regular boyshorts until about 6 months, but now they leave painful marks. I switched to super stretchy maternity underwear and it is soooooo comfy. FWIW, I have gained about 22 lbs at almost 36 weeks, so it is not like my ass should have expanded THAT much, but it did.

Check Babies R Us They have a maternity line called Thyme and it is 70% off right now. I got six pairs. Super comfy.
I haven't switched yet, but I'll likely just size up in my regular underwear (Body by Victoria hiphuggers in case you're wondering). I bought a 3-pack of bikinis from Motherhood and hate them. They hit too low and the fabric is scratchy. I didn't see any roll-down ones, so maybe I just went for the wrong thing.
I am still wearing my regular underwear, in fact I just bought some more VS bikinis in my normal size. For thongs, I mostly wear Hanky Panky, and they're so soft and stretchy that I cannot foresee those ever becoming uncomfortable.
