I practically live in leggings when I'm not at work and would love some suggestions!
-
Gap body full panel leggings. So soft!
-
Ingrid and Isabel
-
These aren't maternity but I've worn them my whole pregnancy and thick enough not to be see through

A pea in the pod! Thick and comfy.
-
Not leggings but I liked the H&M maternity tights a lot for fall/winter.
-
Gap

Gap. I still wear them 2.5 years later

Ingrid and Isabel Active Leggings with Crossover Panel are my favorite pregnancy/postpartum product, ever. They are so, so high quality and hold up amazingly well. I have recommended these to all of my friends IRL and everyone loves them. Nordstrom sells them, they're $88 (ouch--but I wore them 4x a week for like a YEAR and I'll still be able to wear them for a future pregnancy). Don't get the cheaper ones from Target, the fabric isn't the same.

Ingrid and Isabel!

Thanks everyone - this is super helpful and I'm going to check these out!
@Raspberry: Thanks, I'm definitely going to need tights as well for work, so good to know!
-
Pea in the pod or Gap.
-
@periwinklebee: Blanqi !!! Fantastic postpartum/nursing leggings, as well.
-
@agold: I'm intrigued by the Blanqi leggings. Did you have any other brands to compare them to?
-
@SweetiePie: I compared them to Lululemon Align. So for cheaper price and higher waist, they were great. They are just as delicate as lululemon stuff, though, so they need to be washed very carefully. But otherwise, I love them so much! I still wear the nursing leggings a ton, and i will just fold the top down. I bought them during a black friday sale for half off but I would still purchase them full price if I needed them. They are sometimes sold at Nordstrom, too.
ETA: The blanqi leggings are more like functional wear-as-normal clothes leggings, whereas the lulu align legging feels more like a work out legging. I wouldn't wear lulu to church, but I would wear blanqi with the right top. -
@agold: Thank you for the details - good to know!
-
Ubiqi fold over leggings, they come up very high and you can wear them post-Partum too. Lovvvvve them!
-
Pea in the Pod. I still wear them 15 months pp.
-
Gap! I wore them at least a year postpartum with each pregnancy. Hehe. So comfy!
-
These suggestions are awesome! Now if only I could wear maternity leggings to work too so I could just live in them 24-7 (sigh, not gonna happen).
-
@periwinklebee: Did you end up buying any? I ordered a gap pair but they are still too big to wear. I just ordered Blanqi last night.
-
@SweetiePie: Yes! I tried Ingrid and Isabel and Gap (the blackout technology full panel ones). I wanted something that would pair well with casual wear and wouldn't scream workout tights, but that would also be good for working out, as I'm hoping to continue jogging outside as the weather cools off. I liked the Gap ones best actually - they're super soft and thick, don't look too much like running tights, but are supportive for working out. They fit great at 23 weeks, but I've heard a downside is that they might not stretch enough to be comfortable towards the end. I like the Ingrid and Isabel ones too, but they look more like workout wear and really, really collect lint.
-
@periwinklebee: did you have to size down for the gap ones? I got a small which is what I would be PP but they are huge. Not just in the belly but even in the legs they are baggy. I'm keeping since my legs swell a lot when pregnant so I'm sure I'll eventually get some use out of them. But for now when I need maternity but I'm still not huge I just can't wear them. Major bummer!
I'm looking forward to the Blanqi ones. I'll update! -
@SweetiePie: I definitely notice that they run big, but my normal pre-pregnancy size fit ok. I'm due in Jan, so figure I'll be the most swollen when it's freezing, I didn't try them until around 20 weeks though, so not sure if they would have been good for earlier. I hope the Blanqi ones work well!

Love the Gap ones for comfort although I always make sure my top covers my bum because they are on the thinner side!
