Maternity leggings

I'm sure it's been done to death but I'm looking for the holy grail of maternity leggings. Criteria are:

Over the bump (as in come up to near your bra line please Grin)
Thick enough for your pants not to show through

DOES SUCH A PAIR EXIST?

Got some topshop ones and thickness was amazing but they sat right in the middle of my bump which was fine at the start but uncomfortable now.

Jojo Maman Bebe leggings all the way. I can't remember which type I had but the reviews on the site are brilliant in helping pub down the right ones for you.

George at Asda, not too expensive and still had a little growth room when I was 37 weeks!

I have some of amazon which are awesome. They are thin but I have thermal tights underneath to keep warm/not show off pants. I'll see if I can find the link.

New Look 2 pack. Inexpensive, come up high, don't show pants, wash well and dry quickly.

If your over the bump criteria is because under the bump falls down then consider the Isabella Oliver treggings. I can not tell you how good these are. The only under the bump trousers I found that weren't uncomfortable and didn't fall down - they're thick, stretchy, wash well and worth every penny. I had a pair in my first pregnancy and bought a second pair when they got paint on them. I wore them post birth and over a c section scar and they're simply ace

Asos leggings and Seraphine bamboo leggings. The bamboo ones are amazing and so comfortable. I want some that aren't maternity and can't find any Sad

Mothercare: bought them three years ago when PG with DD and I am now back in them at 10 weeks pg. They have hardly aged, still look good and have held their texture, colour and shape. My ASOS ones on the other hand look awful!

Thanks everyone! Have ordered some jojomaman ones so will see what they are like. I've got some ASOS ones and they're fine but still a bit see through!

My sister in law bought me a pair of Seraphine over the bump leggings. As soon I put them on, I felt like I was on a cloud. So soft, so comfy! I'll be buying more soon.

Another vote for new look. So comfy and above the bump.... I reckon I'll wear these after baby as well.... Like a few years after they are that comfy!
