We recommend sizing for the Mother Tucker Leggings post- pregnancy. However, if you want to have a pair “hospital bag” ready, we’d suggest ordering one size larger than your pre-pregnancy size.

Of course, every “body” is different, so sizing during pregnancy is tricky. While we can’t guarantee 100% accuracy, we can ensure you’ll be getting some Mother Tuckin’ amazing leggings!

Maternity Leggings/Capris: Please note to measure your Hips for correct sizing.

No muffin top, rolling, pinching, or digging thanks to our Muffinology® technology

When should I start wearing pregnancy leggings during pregnancy?

You can start wearing pregnancy leggings as soon as you’d like! Many women start transitioning to pregnancy leggings as soon as their belly begins to outgrow their regular, pre-pregnancy pants. Pregnancy leggings can be worn all the way up until the day you give birth.

Only if they are pregnancy compression leggings that don’t apply direct compression on the belly. Pregnancy leggings are specifically designed to increase blood flow in your legs and hips without putting pressure on your growing bump.

These leggings have everything you need — from the seamless, breathable knit material that’s gentle on healing skin, to targeted compression for muscle groups in your core, hips, and thighs.

Can I wear these leggings post C-section?

Definitely. Our Mother Tucker® Capri Leggings are constructed out of a seamless, breathable knit fabric that gently compresses your incision site for extra support and protection while healing.

Just as comfortable as your favorite pair of leggings pre-pregnancy. Maybe even more so! Plus, the Mother Tucker Capri Leggings are available in four fashionable colors — you’ll want one of each!

How do I know which size I need?

The best way to find your size is to check out the sizing chart from the product page.

If you don’t have a measuring tape handy, or if you just want to have a pair of these leggings ready to go in your hospital bag, we suggest ordering one size larger than your pre-pregnancy size.

Reviews

Not as expected

They fit great around the belly area so I can see that they work for that area. But the quality of fabric didn’t work for me around my thigh area. Wasn’t flattering for my body type at all so had to be sent back

The only leggings that work for postpartum

I found that after having my baby regulal leggings just do not have the same slimming effect that they use to. Even worse- they created extra rolls! THESE LEGGINGS are really different. They do exactly what I need them to do- slimming, comfortable, wear with anything. Perfect length for me at 5’2”. I ordered a bunch of cheaper leggings off Amazon at first- wish I would have saved myself the trouble and went with these from the outset. Size chart is accurate.

Must have!

These are my go to leggings, I have the camo ones as well and these do feel like they have more compression but I am wearing the same size in each color. I started wearing these a few weeks postpartum and haven't stopped 4 months later. They saw me through a difficult csection recovery and gave me the support I needed without the bulk of a wrap when I leave the house. I have received so many compliments when I wear these leggings, people are impressed but honestly I still have a lumpy belly these leggings just smooth and hold everything nicely. I do wish the tummy compression went further down to my csection incision area for better flattening as everything is settling and a little more pressure where i had extra swelling, regardless, I think they are a great purchase and are my go to bottoms. The fabric is nice and thick which has been great for the cool weather months and looks good with any length top. 5'2" 120 lbs and wearing size small

Size up!

I love BellyBandit items and have gotten a few during pregnancy and these capris for after. Bought them before my due day so no longer able to return them by the time I tried them on postpartum.
They are TIGHT! I had a medium in another pair of pants from here so went with the same and there is no hope of them fitting. The compression is so high there is not a lot of give to get over hips/thighs if you are the slightest bit curvy. Really wish I could wear them but not made for people with hips. Size up and definitely try on as soon as you get them

Super Comfy!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these leggings! I was previously wearing compression hose for my varicose veins and these are a million times more comfortable!
I am currently 7 months pregnant and I'm hoping I can wear them all through pregnancy. I fold the top down and use it like a belly band, double bonus!
I would recommend these to anyone and purchase again.
