Best maternity leggings

Hi! I’m after some nice black over bump maternity leggings that are thick, without being “thermal” or fleece lined, essentially I want some that aren’t see through and suitable for wearing with just a top.
When I search this I keep getting directed to Lovalls website but I’m unsure whether their leggings are fleece lined, and lots of reviews that say they’re really tight over the bump - it’s a bit confusing! I’m also 5ft10 so I’m after some that are nice and long so I don’t have to hoik them up all the time.
does anyone have any recommendations?

many thanks 🤩

Sweaty Betty maternity leggings were my favourite, super comfortable (I'm still wearing them 14 weeks postpartum😂).

I had a pair of Lovall leggings and they were fleece lined. Comfortable at first, but I remember getting to a point where they were too tight over my bump. Also tried the Lululemon Align leggings. These were good for the first half of pregnancy but got too tight - not as stretchy as the Internet had me believe!

I have some Lovall ones. They had three different thicknesss when I ordered recently and only the thickest ones are fleece lined. The ones I have are brushed cotton. I’m not sure if they will last me through the pregnancy as they are already tight at 7 months.

Valandy ones on Amazon are brilliant, they come in sets of three colours, wash well and aren’t fleece lined so not too hot.

I’ve just got H&M ones and honestly they are so comfy I think I might be in them forever! They had a cheaper and more expensive (though still H&M) I got more expensive and am very happy with the coverage

H&M Mama Sports leggings
New Look maternity black contour leggings

I’m 5ft 11 and swear by Lululemon Align super high rise. Not maternity specific but get one size up from your usual. They’re not that cheap but I have two pairs that have been washed and worn to death and are still in heavy postpartum rotation after baby three. Cost per wear is almost in minus figures! 😂

I had Lovall winter leggings and they were amazing. Started wearing them last October/November when I would have been about 5 months and wore them throughout the winter and even into hospital to give birth. I wore them post partum for weeks too. Honestly so comfy throughout and they never felt tight. So cosy! I miss them!

Czy yoga ones from Amazon. They are the same material as sweaty Betty but 1/2 the price! Very comfortable! https://amzn.eu/d/94jA1Q5

Definitely recommend lovall ones. I sized up when pregnant. I wear my normal size now I’m not pregnant. Can’t remember if the same for maternity ones or not but they have winter leggings which a thicker and then just regular leggings which sounds like what your after, not see through at all

I got some from Long Tall Sally and M&S :)

Thanks so much everyone! I’m going to go through all of the suggested ones and see what ones I like best! Thankyou 😊 xx
