Revolutionary maternity leggings for the ultimate comfort and support during pregnancy and postpartum.
Comfort and support are the most important elements when it comes to maternity leggings. All of our pregnancy leggings have been specially designed to allow for the growth of the bump and belly while providing absolute support and comfort. Featuring a high waistband that can be worn during pregnancy, or folded down for extra support postpartum.
We all experience different problems and disorders while we're pregnant, but some of them are the same, such as; pelvic pain, swelling, stiff hips and the added strain on the lower back. Therefore, finding the right maternity leggings to help relieve and minimise these types of symptoms is essential for comfort during and after pregnancy. Our specially designed maternity leggings have been constructed to support you in all the right places. By keeping the weight off your pelvis and reducing the pressure on your muscles and ligaments around the bottom half of your body that is growing so much!
These maternity leggings are an absolute must-have for any mom or mom-to-be.
Did you know that 66% of moms prefer pregnancy leggings that go over the bump, while 9% prefer pregnancy leggings that go under the bump, and 25% prefer leggings that can do both! It is well known that a pair of cute and comfortable pregnancy leggings are the staple of every maternity wardrobe, but do you still have some unanswered questions about them?
Maternity leggings are designed to provide comfort first and foremost, light compression and support for women during pregnancy and postpartum.
We asked 248 moms what type of leggings they preferred and why. These are the results.
When you are pregnant and wear normal leggings they can cut in and can get really uncomfortable. With over the belly leggings, they have one big panel that fits over your belly and stay up the whole time. You're not going to get to a certain point where they are too tight or start cutting in because they are designed to go all the way up and over your belly, right up to nine months.
Pre-pregnancy a normal pair of leggings or tights that come up to your waistline is all that is required. It’s not until during or after-baby that most moms like to wear high-panel leggings to cover their tummy.
“Before baby, I like any leggings that go under my tummy, but then during and after-baby, it's like, get the high-rise ones. You need the high leggings to cover your tummy.”
Generally speaking, there are two types of leggings for pregnancy. There are leggings that sit under the bump, and leggings that go over the bump.
With over the bump leggings when the compression panel is folded over (doubling the layer) and you wear it under the belly, they give you even more bump support so the weight of your organs and bump isn't sitting on top of your hips as much.
Under the belly pregnancy leggings are designed to be quite loose and can fall down easily once you reach the second trimester, especially if you are an active mom. Since they don't have a fitted panel to come up and over there is no support at the top and if you're active and moving a lot, because they don't have a firm band underneath, then they fall down really easily.
Some pregnant women like to buy, 'belly bands' to wear around their middle (over their bump) underneath their clothes. It simply looks like a t-shirt or similar underneath your clothes. All you do is slide the belly band on over the bottoms/pants you're wearing and under any top layers you have on to cover your bump.
Whereas over the belly leggings already have the belly band attached to the leggings as a panel above the waist. Because the band is long on over the bump leggings, it can be folded over during pregnancy to really provide support like a belly band, then after-baby, fold it down to help push your tummy in and support it. However, it all comes down to your own personal preference.
Additional tip: If you don't like things firm around your belly, consider a size up in over the belly leggings, if you want them for pregnancy.
8. How to wear leggings postpartum?
For post-pregnancy, you want good quality, over the belly pregnancy leggings that maintain their stretch so once you have had the baby, the leggings continue to keep their shape, providing the right amount of comfort and support to hold your tummy in.
Folding the over the belly panel down provides a layer of support post-baby to help you with the recovery of abdominal separation. This extra layer helps to keep your tummy in place after the baby.
Wearing pregnancy leggings after a c section is almost impossible, ALMOST!
One of the big benefits of the Cadenshae pregnancy leggings in particular, is the way the compression panel scoops low at the front to provide the ultimate in comfort for any c-section scars. If you have had a c-section you don’t want to wear any clothing with seams that sit on the scar, simply because they will irritate you. We've had customers regularly commenting that our leggings are the only pants they could wear post-baby after a c-section because of the way the seam cuts down and doesn't aggravate or irritate the scar.
