    Jeans for thunder thighs and rotund rear

    Hey guys,

    Im a 35 year old mum who is obsessed with hill cycling. I live in northumberland england (UK) and so make the most of our hilly grounds. i also try my hand at brazilian jui jitsu and spinning twice a week.

    I love forums like these. Im not great with computers but whenever i get a virus i just hate the internet but forums like these make me value what getting groups of women together and arranging roadies is truely awesome.

    Anyway as a consequence of my sporting obsessions i have a gargantuan lower body. I was genetically gifted a rather generous bottom and enormous thighs from my mum but hill cycling has made them grow if possible. I also use to get teased at school for my unusual shape but now im so proud of it as my hubby loves it and it helps me no end in BJJ and cycling and see the fun side when people always comment on it

    Anyway my waist has stayed the same and so shopping has been a nightmare and cant find jeans that are fit. They either hand off my waist or i cant get them over my backside. anyone got advice on brands?

    also women cyclists feel free to add me on facebook. my page is

    hello and welcome! Northumberland is such a beautiful place to live, lucky you!

    Jeans wise, I have read lots of recommendations elsewhere for the Gap curvy jeans (I think they're called that?) They might be worth a try if you haven't already.

    My curvy daughter likes Old Navy Sweetheart jeans, or Gap curvy jeans. I've recently rediscovered Levi 501s (thanks, Knot!) which work well for large thighs and a tiny waist. Eddie Bauer has a curvy style trouser jean that is pretty comfy, too.

    I like the Levi's 560 jeans. They're not that easy to find, though.
