FAQs

What is the difference between regular and maternity leggings?

What makes maternity leggings different from the tens of leggings you already have in your cupboard drawer? Well, these leggings are specifically designed for comfort during pregnancy.

They have extra fabric on the waistband which either goes over or under your lovely growing bump. This means that you won't have the discomfort of the material digging into your body.

What size maternity leggings should I buy?

With your body changing daily throughout your pregnancy, you may be wondering what size maternity leggings you should buy. In most cases, you should be okay with buying your pre-pregnancy size as they're designed to accommodate your growing bump.

You should feel comfortable and supported while wearing leggings during your pregnancy, but they shouldn't feel tight or restrictive. If you're feeling uncomfortable, we'd recommend sizing up for a more comfy fit.
