Can we talk leggings?

Ok, so I am desperate need of something with a bit more stretch. I'm currently at work with my jeans fully undone and if I do them up even a tiny bit it gives me a tummy ache.

I need some maternity leggings! Recommendations please?

They need to be thick, not attract pet hair (we have a dog and a cat) and not too pricey either. I'm think 100% or close to cotton would be my best bet.

George 2 pack!!

Honestly I've lived in them since about 28 weeks and I'm now 36. Think they were £12 for 2 pairs and they are just SO comfortable!!

I didn't want to pay the stupid prices that most other places charge, but that's me being stingy 😂

New look leggings via Amazon. £14.99 for two pack and Amazon Prime free delivery. So comfortable and I live in them

I second H&M. I'm currently laying on my sofa with my H&M leggings on. Soooo comfy. Nice and thick too. No VPLs and as far as I can tell, I don't seen to be covered in my cats hair. 😂

Purpless. No idea re the pet hair, but they were comfy.

I work at new look and was still living in my size 6 leggings the day before giving birth. I found it more comfortable wearing them under the bump rather than over. Maybe go up a size though and wear normal leggings if your happy under the bump. Maternity clothes are a fortune and get packed away after (in my case anyway) at least I had them for after too x

I found next maternity to have the best coverage. Didn't go see through after a few washes either

George 2 pack as PP said, and H and M are my faves.

I found H&M really poor quality - 3 of my pairs developed holes at the seams!

I like ASOS ones. Nice thick material and they hold their shape well.

I had some really nice maternity ones from Boohoo that I lived in until I was about 20 weeks and then anything over bump started really annoying me so I changed to my usual non-maternity ones and wore them under bump and live in them every day now!

I have ASOS ones too. Would recommend them too.

H&M (and asos if you want 3/4 length) but my organic cotton H&M ones are the most comfy things ever!!

My New Look ones are still going strong at the end of my 2nd pregnancy and quite a lot of wear in between. We have a rabbit who sheds and the leggings don't look any hairier either.

Another vote for New Look leggings via Amazon.
