    Maternity Leggings: Choosing Comfort in Pregnancy and How!

    Updated on 3 November 2023

    Maternity leggings should be a part of every pregnant woman’s wardrobe, and it is one of the most essential items for ultimate comfort. Every woman’s journey is unique and filled with unique challenges of their own. Feeling comfortable during this time of life while accommodating the various changes a woman’s body goes through gets difficult sometimes. Normal daily wear clothes become unusable when trying to accommodate this growing body; that brings us to maternity leggings. Choosing the best maternity leggings is an intimidating task, considering the variety of options available and the number of factors to consider while picking the right one. Here we will discuss some points in detail that will help pick the most comfortable pair of leggings that will last even beyond the pregnancy.

    How to choose maternity leggings?

    Picking maternity leggings can be such a fun thing to do when pregnant, and every woman deserves to own at least a couple of pairs of maternity leggings that can be styled in different ways and for various purposes during this phase of motherhood. Following are a few key points to consider when looking for a good pair that is also super comfortable, making even lounging in it super easy.

    1. Fabric

    Look for a stretchy fabric without being too tight and breathable so that it can be worn during any season. Avoid leggings that come in thin materials prone to tearing and bleeding colour after a couple of washes. Fabric details of every legging are provided in the description, so make sure to look into it.

    2. Waistband (belly panel)

    While selecting the right pair, look for the belly panel that sits above or below the belly as per comfort. Some leggings have a thicker belt, while some have a thinner belt. Make sure to pick one that feels more comfortable and doesn’t keep riding down the belly as it grows. Ill-fitting leggings can get uncomfortable very quickly so this is an important factor to consider when looking for maternity leggings. The right pair will sit just right, making it feel and look seamless under the top/shirt it is paired with. Some women prefer belly leggings as they also provide coverage postpartum as well as the last trimester of pregnancy. Under the belly, a panel is usually preferred if someone has an itchy belly or cannot handle any kind of pressure on the belly.

    3. Size

    Leggings come in various sizes these days. Make sure to pick one that is roomy enough that can accommodate the growing belly but is not so tight that it leaves marks or restricts the belly. Measuring the widest part of the belly and hips should be the first thing you do before picking a size.

    4. Length

    As there are different sizes, leggings also come in varying lengths. As per comfort, one can choose an ankle-length pair or a longer one. Some fabrics may shrink post-wash, so if you want a full-length legging, you may want to pick one that is a little long, to begin with.

    5. Thickness

    The material should be nice and breathable but not too thick. Look for options that are just thick enough that they smooth out the small bumps and are comfortable during all seasons.

    Why maternity leggings?

    Regular leggings can be worn in the initial few months of pregnancy, but it is preferable to go for maternity leggings as they are specially designed for pregnant women. Maternity leggings are designed to stretch and provide more room for comfort without being too restrictive or pressurizing on the belly.

    When to start wearing them?

    Maternity leggings can be worn from the first trimester itself depending on the comfort level. They are extremely uncomplicated and hassle-free. Some women prefer to wear their regular clothes during the first trimester and maternity leggings only after the fourth month begins. All women are different and have different bodies, so pick according to comfort.

    1. Multipurpose use

    Leggings are the most versatile piece of clothing that pregnant women can wear casually or formally and can also wear while working out. They are incredibly comfortable for daily wear at home and for everyday activities too.

    2. Pre and post-delivery

    Maternity leggings not only come in use during pregnancy but can also be worn after pregnancy in the postpartum stage. A woman’s body still undergoes a lot of changes post-pregnancy, and these leggings can provide ample comfort even in those times.
