What are your favorite leggings for pregnancy? I'm pretty sure all I have from last time is a hideous, faded 100% cotton pair 
If you don't have favorite maternity leggings, what is your favorite that are high waisted that I can wear maybe through 2nd tri and again postpartum.
Please comment on how they withstand machine washing/drying. Thanks!

Following! I am currently wearing Lululemon the Align pant in black. Love them as they come up nice and high. I wear the same when not pg too.

@Autumnmama79: do you machine wash them? I would totally splurge on them, but the reviews make them seem so fragile and delicate. Are they pilling at all?

I wear my align pants. I also have a pair of blanqui maternity leggings that are awesome now that the bump is gigantic
ETA I wash my aligns in the washer with my regular laundry. I just make sure they're inside out. I even dried them once by accident. No pilling and they are almost 6 months old

@SweetCaroline: I do machine wash them weekly and hang to dry. Only complaint is that they pill where my thighs touch but it’s not visible. Plus I recently learned you can take pants back that have pilled and they will replace them no charge!

I loooove my Zella mamasana maternity leggings. They're out of stock in my size fairly often so I wish I would've bought two pairs!

@SweetCaroline: I get the basic gap ones. DD is 4 and many pairs lasted years with frequent washes. I just bought a few new pairs.

Ingrid and Isabelle active/sport crossover maternity leggings. They are so great, I’ve worn mine through two pregnancies, still wearing them at 7 months pp, they never pill or show wear. Also they’re marketed as workout gear but are totally matte, I’ve worn them many times to my job which I have to look nice for. The catch is they’re $88

I bought a few at old navy and they have been perfectly fine! I didn't want to spend too much.

I was fine with cheap gap ones. Still wear them sometimes when I need to do laundry. I don't think they're quite stretchy enough to work well at the very end of pregnancy, but besides that were great...

@Autumnmama79: @MamaBear87: I SO wish there was a Lululemon near me so I could check them out in person!
@skinnycow: These look amazing. Of course they are out of stock right now!
@youboots: @periwinklebee: Thanks guys! Strangely enough, I haven't ever bought leggings at Gap, though half my wardrobe is from there. They have a great sale right now, so I'm going to scoop some up.
@Umbreon: Thanks! I'll keep that in mind, especially if I need more and can't wait for shipping--it's one of the few stores I have nearby.
@LCTBQE: AHHH! These look SO perfect. I just might pull the trigger. Have you ever seen them on sale?

@SweetCaroline: never, and I looked hard, but they are perfect and worth it. I'm wearing them today and even though I wore them straight through two pregnancies and my stomach is basically flat at 7 months pp and I'm back to my normal weight, they still fit wonderfully. they're really, really well made--I work in fashion and raw materials and construction are something I deal with daily. get them!

Another vote for Ingrid and Isabelle! Lo2 is 2 and I still wear mine alllllll the time. I got a few pairs on amazon that were only like $30, though that was now like 2.5 years ago....

Blanqi and lululemon align, all day, every day. Be so careful washing.

I’m still wearing my Lulu Aligns too. I’m not very careful with them and don’t have any issues with pilling. I also bought a Blanqi pair that I like but I think they’ll be better when I’m a bit bigger (27 weeks now).

I just got a pair from h&m. They are comfortable and a good price since I’ll only be wearing them for a few more weeks
