Maternity Leggings FAQs
What are maternity leggings?
Maternity leggings are leggings that have been specifically designed for pregnancy and postnatal recovery. Their unique design allows for a growing belly whilst offering compressive support and comfort to soon-to-be mothers.
Which leggings are best during pregnancy?
The best leggings during pregnancy will depend on preference as well as the stage of the pregnancy. However, a pair of specialised maternity leggings is recommended to provide added support to the back and stomach to relieve pelvic pressure. Maternity leggings can also be worn postnatal to assist in recovery.
Key features to look for in a pair of leggings to wear during pregnancy include stretchy fabric, supportive waistband, breathable fabric and an opaque material for added coverage.
When should I start wearing maternity tights?
Typically, mothers will notice bigger changes to their bodies in weeks 13 to 14 throughout their pregnancy. This is when the baby bump becomes more prominent and regular leggings may feel tight around the stomach, leading to discomfort.
But we always recommend listening to your body and wearing what feels most comfortable for you. If you do begin to experience some discomfort in your regular activewear or clothing, investing in a quality pair of maternity tights may be the right option for you.
What’s the difference between regular leggings and maternity leggings?
The main difference between regular leggings and maternity leggings is their design and features. A pair of maternity leggings have been specifically created to accommodate a growing belly and provide support to mothers throughout their pregnancy and postnatal journeys.
The main differentiating features include:
Waistband: A pair of regular leggings often have a standard waistband that sits across the waistline. Whilst a pair of maternity leggings have an elasticised waistband to accommodate a growing belly and an adjustable waistband to sit under the belly for added comfort.
Fit: Maternity leggings feature extra fabric across the belly to allow for a growing bump. They also often have a higher waist to prevent the leggings from slipping as the pregnancy progresses.
