Are these maternity leggings comfortable?
The soft, stretchy cotton sits nicely over my bump and they're cooler than my over-bump mom jeans. In the summer I think these would be much more comfortable than proper jeans.
My main issue with these jeggings is that there are no belt loops or front pockets, it's annoying not to be able to put my phone or keys in a pocket and it also makes it harder to pull them up without stretching the maternity bump band. I end up pulling them up by the back pockets which can be awkward.
How do they compare to other maternity leggings and jeans?
I find the fastening for my under bump skinny jeans a little bit scratchy on my belly, so I usually have to wear a vest top underneath my T-shirt when I wear them. As the temperatures rise (and my bump grows) I think I’ll get too hot wearing two t-shirts and these jeggings will really come into their own.
Can these maternity leggings be worn after pregnancy?
On post-partum days where I want to look nice, while still maintaining some level of comfort, these jeggings will be really useful because the section over my belly is so soft. But I think as my size reduces I’ll probably move back to wearing my regular jeans
How do you wash the Spanx Mama Jean-ish Leggings?
I’ve put them through the wash a few times now and I’m really pleased the results, the denim hasn’t faded at all and the jeggings have maintained a good shape - no baggy knees in sight.
