Maternity Leggings

I know this has been done to death but wanted to see if there were any new options available.

I’ve tried Lovall leggings and sized up but still found them too small and didn’t really like the material. I’ve also tried H&M mama leggings and was disappointed as they’re a bit see through and a very thin material.

Can anyone recommend a good, stretchy, non-see through pair of maternity leggings please?

Lululemon align leggings. They grow with you, buy your usual size and you can wear them forever rather than waste them. Such good quality! Check out Vinted for second hand options. Mine got my through my entire pregnancy, then my sister borrowed them for hers and now I'm asking for them back for my current pregnancy. Well worth it.

The H&M ones that are around £28 are good quality not see through, the cheaper ones in H&M are see through. George at Asda also have some online that aren't see through.

This. I didn’t even need to buy maternity leggings as I already owned them. Stretch in all the right places and really comfy.

I was wondering the same as the op. I work our a fair bit still and am at the stage where maternity leggings are too big but my normal sweaty Betty's are rolling down. I've just bought some lulu align dupes off amazon as I really can't justify the original price tag (even used ones are enough) so will see if they are any good and report back!

I also found Lovall too small/compressing even at 22 weeks, despite the fact that I was a small size 6 before pregnancy (but I did find their jeggings good).

I liked the Seraphine leggings. I had some thermal ones which were properly opaque. The standard ones were slightly thinner - I wouldn't have worn them with a shorter top but they were fine with a tunic or long jumper.

Based on this thread, I bought some lululemon aligns (second hand). They are glorious and so comfortable with my 26 weeks bump.

Thanks @fleur89 and @InTheRainOnATrain!

OP did you ever succeed in finding leggings? I'm on the hunt and struggling!!

@Marzipan23 unfortunately not 😢 I’m still wearing my pre pregnancy ones and should probably start trying to find some again as these are getting pretty tight!

I got some JoJoMama second hand from vinted. They were nice and think, definitely not see through and super comfortable, I wore them up until birth and for a couple of weeks after

PLT ribbed maternity leggings were my favourite.

This has reminded me to post back.i bought the colorfulkoala ones on amazon. I got 2 sizes - what I deemed my normal (m) and a L. They both fit and are ideal for day to day wear. The L are a bit loose on the ankles but so comfy otherwise. Now for exercise they are both OK but do roll a little. I've threaded some elastic through the waistband of the L (it was very easy to do) and now they are perfect. For the price I'm very pleased. Oh but be careful when washing with towels etc. As they pick up fluff massively!

On another post about leggings there were lots of recommendations for Sinophant ones from amazon. I bought some last week (high waisted) and they're really comfy, go up over my bump (28 weeks) and aren't see through. They are also quite cheap, I got size s-m, I'm normally a size 10-12 for my bottom half if that helps!
