Where to get large underwear for our girls (toddlers)

Just want to find out where the best place to get children's underwear for girls 3 and under. I find most of the stuff in Tesco/Dunnes while being reasonably priced is very tight for our kids and a bit too adult like.

I just buy the peppa underwear from Tesco... how are they adult like? Try mothercare or similar childrens clothes stores like pumpkin patch maybe?

I remember having trouble in the 2-3yr bracket for my girls, the little pants just seemed too small, so I just bought a size up and have continued to do so since then. My girls are 3 & 4 and very active so the snug fit on some pants just did them no favours as they'd constantly be getting wedgies with their dancing/playing antics.

There's plenty of simple and age appropriate stuff in Pennys multipacks of 5-7 pairs in white or pastel shades with proper coverage for modesty and a little bow on the front (great guideline for when they dress themselves). I'm not a fan of smart slogans that seem to be the norm in some kids clothing ranges (cept for Hairy Baby kids!) or character clothing in general, but I have to say I've never had trouble getting simple age suitable undies at a reasonable price.

i buy my 3 year old hers in tesco, they have disney princess ones and plain ones with just a bow.

and like was mentioned having the picture/bow in the front helps when they dress themselves!

just think that stuff is very tight unless you go up an age bracket. read an article last year about the sexualisation of children and i think this is one of the starting areas. was in china in the summer and the underwear for children there was much bigger and looser.

went ahead and bought the 4-5 year old disney princess ones in penneys. thanks for suggestions.
