When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Every woman will have her own
Every woman will have her own answer to this question, based on her lifestyle and what she owns and what she likes. The only thing that matters is that the belly is not constricted in any way. In my case, all I had to do was stock up a bit on nice-looking tops that overhang the waistband of my pants, and then if necessary, I can leave the pants unbuttoned or unhooked at the top with the waistband folded under (the top covers all this of course). Other pants have elastic or drawstring waists. For non-workdays I wear only drawstring pants or my jeans that have a very low rise that allows me to wear a belt under the belly. These are actually much more comfortable they they sound, though I have to hike them up often.
My answers may not help you, because basically I have a smallish and very simple wardrobe. I don't dress up, I don't wear dresses or skirts, and when I discovered prolapse I was not in a position to buy myself a new wardrobe or suddenly change my style of dressing. You simply have to look for modifications to what you already own or like. Anything that tucks in at the waist is out of the question for me. Tunics and leggings sounds great to me, though I need pockets. Good luck! - Surviving

Standard leggings are pretty
Generally I find most leggings are pretty good - I tend to buy a size bigger than my usual and then they are still tight around the legs but not so much around the waist, if that makes sense. A dress over the top of those and you're dressed.
For a while I also wore Mamamia (I think that was the brand) maternity jeans in a size smaller than I am. Those jeans were a perfect fit even thought I was't pregnant. They didn't look like maternity wear at all. I miss them. Haven't found that brand since I wore both my pairs out.

My favorites, which are not
My favorites, which are not leggings, but stretchy pants, have a wide waistband on them. They are not constricting at all, and even have a slimming look to them. I found several different styles from dressy to casual, even Capris at Kohl's. I am sure other stores have them too.
