I was shopping with my daughter the other day – she was looking for something funky and summery to wear to work and I was looking for underpants that would cover my increasing countenance and not create a muffin top. She shared some valuable information with me. Apparently a “muffin top” is not actually a thing, it’s a result.
I pinched the roll around my middle and begged to differ. She smiled and shook her head in the superior fashion of a school teacher about to set to the task of educating a moron. “My point exactly,” she said.
My muffin top is real, there is no denying, it bulges above my jeans and drives me crazy. My guess is other people have the same problem and feel the same about it, hence the racks and racks of gramma sized underpants claiming to tackle muffin tops from size extra small to triple X.
She acknowledged my bulging flesh and confirmed that I did indeed have a problem, but informed me the fix was not to be found in the slippery aisles of lingerie. The cure for muffin top was in the jeans department, or the yoga pant aisle. A harsh reality, if you have a muffin top, you need bigger pants.
To that I say, Happy Saturday — reality sucks.

Sadly, so true
I had no idea!
However, with pants that cater to the muffin top, comes the plumber’s crack!
Choose your battle wisely grasshopper!
Lol Elva, I’ve rued the day they ever came out with “low rise jeans” that created the muffin top in the first place. I have finally found a solution! FDJ (French Dressing Jeans} have a line of higher rise jeans that are fashionable and completely eliminate the muffin top. They are so comfortable they feel like you have yoga pants on when you wear them. Granny pants are optional 😁
I will have to check those out. 😁
