After you have baby, there is a LOT going on down there. Support and comfort need to be your two top priorities when it comes to clothing. These postpartum leggings hit both of those needs incredibly well. Let’s talk about the leggings that will give you compression but also feel like butter on your thighs.
Postpartum clothing is something one typically doesn’t think about, until the time is too late. It goes a little something like this:
You’re pregnant but can still get away just fine with your normal outfits. Then you’re like a little pregnant, your normal clothes work but they might be a little snug. Then you’re like incredibly pregnant and clothes aren’t even an option anymore. And now you aren’t pregnant anymore, but for some reason your non-pregnant clothes just don’t have the same fit like they once did.
Postpartum leggings were my go-to in the fourth trimester. Sweats are comfortable, but they don’t offer any compression or support. And anything else besides leggings were a major no thanks for me.
I have found the absolute best postpartum leggings you are going to want on your exhausted legs after having baby. So go do your body a favor and find out what leggings you are needing for your post baby body.
This post is all about postpartum leggings that will be having your stomach and legs screaming YES PLEASE & THANK YOU!!!
Postpartum Leggings
blanqi postpartum leggings
Blanqi offers innovative sportswear for women in all different journeys of their life whether it is pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood. Their postpartum and nursing line of clothing is specifically created for bodies that motherhood made. Their postpartum leggings are incredibly smooth and conceal all of those post baby *perfect* imperfections.
If you are looking for a specific brand and line that is purely for mom’s and all about the postpartum pooch, then you need to check out BLANQI’s Hipster Compression Leggings. These leggings offer gentle compression that help re-engage your core without the constriction of typical shapewear products. They are the perfect pair of leggings if you are wanting a combo of breathable fabric yet a little something extra for that postpartum bod.
the most perfect high waisted leggings
If you are looking for a brand that offers fun colors along with being a high-quality fabric, Beyond Yoga is your new bff. This brand uniquely creates every product with their unique fabric that is meant to support and fit every shape. My personal favorite is their midi high waisted leggings, which come up to the perfect height on my stomach!
target postpartum leggings
I absolutely love the Isabel Maternity line at Target. These leggings give your postpartum body the comfort and support you need without over doing it. They are perfect if you are looking for a classic legging that pairs well with any outfit. They will definitely become your staple for the next couple of months. Snatch these leggings at Target for less than $40!
postpartum compression leggings
If your main concern is compression, then you need to go to Spanx. The over-the-bump (sorry, but you still will have one post baby) waistband is designed to keep everything all fit, snug, and in one place. The smoothing fabric will still give you the comfort your stomach and legs need. I love these Spanx leggings because they are not only made for mamas but they were made BY mamas.
c-section postpartum leggings
After a c-section, you do not want leggings that pinch at your skin. You want the support but need them to be soft on your body. You can find some of the best c-section leggings at Belly Bandit. Their Mother Tucker Postpartum Compression Leggings are seamless and offer a breathable knit fabric. It also offers their Muffinology technology, which gives you the cinch you need in your legs and tummy without digging into your skin.
These cute leggings come in four different colors, and you can buy them for $79.95!
lululemon align high-rise pant
If your bank account allows, you can never go wrong with Lululemon. Their Align High-Rise Pant is my favorite line for the postpartum period. They come up just high enough to cover your belly, but they also are known for their incredible, buttery material. You just gave birth to a human, so I think you are MORE than okay to spoil yourself with these more than worth it leggings.
postpartum leggings with pockets
Pockets have always been and always will be a girl’s best friend. Pockets become even more your best friend once you become a mom. You need at least four hands when you have kids, and when you own a pair of leggings with pockets it’s like a match made in heaven.
These high waisted leggings from Halara are the perfect pocket pant. Not only are the pockets extremely deep but the leggings itself offer a four way stretch so they are going to give you the support you need.
amazon postpartum leggings
If you are looking for leggings that offer the support you need but are on more of a budget, Amazon has you covered. The Homma Premium Thick Waist Tummy Compression Slimming Leggings are $20.95 right now. These leggings offer a four way stretch for the best compression and comfort your postpartum body needs. Their waistband also stays put and doesn’t slide down, which is a huge plus. You definitely aren’t sacrificing any quality with these leggings.
overall best postpartum leggings
There are a lot of different qualities and needs you must be looking for, when searching for the best leggings for you. You’ve probably got it down by now but yes- comfort, stretch, quality, support, and budget friendly must all be checked off on your list.
So, what brand of leggings checks all of our boxes? The Motherhood Maternity Prima Performance Post Pregnancy Leggings totally wipe out the competition. The flexible nylon fabric moves as you do, and the perfect amount of compression needed for your postpartum body. These leggings are priced at $58, but if you didn’t already know, Motherhood offers sales quite often. As we speak, these are currently on sale for $20. If these leggings couldn’t get any better, they also come with pockets!
Finding clothing that fits and is comfortable should not be one of your main stressors during this time in your life. I hope found this post helpful, and I hope it offered some light finding clothing during this time doesn’t have to be such a struggle. Treat yourself during this (absolutely wonderful) but not easy period in your life. xxx
