here goes .. I have had a nightmare getting baggies to fit and I would think i’m a normalish size!! I am 5ft 4 1/2 30″ waist and 40″ hips, I have 2 old old old pairs of Oakleys and Fox shorts which are both are large. I have tried to get some more however they are silly sizes.
This week I bought some Endura Humvees from wiggle for £40 and got a large as that’s allegedly what size 30″ waist is, the lycra liners fitted well the baggies had enough space to fit 2 small children in!!!
I then e-mailed Minx Girl asking what she recommends (since I have chunky (or sporty!!) thighs). She sent me a very very long e-mail with lots of recommendations and I have just ordered some Harlot stuff. She also suggested the Terry Liner for under baggies, she said the pad is the same as in their normal shorts but the material in the shorts is mesh so cooler when under baggies, they do look good and I’ve ordered a pair of those as well.
If you e-mail Minx girl you’re girlf’s height and size she will suggest something that looks good.
I found the Sombrio and Loeka stuff made me look like an oompa lumpa!!! Hope this hasn’t put you off but basically what I’m saying is there is loads of options out there for women it’s just finding something that fits your missus. Look at the usual sites

Baggy buying for women I think is a nightmare! Good luck though and let us know what you get that fits her, if I haven’t tried them I can always buy a pair!!
