look no further. these are the PERFECT postpartum leggings
here is my very comprehensive, glowing review for these leggings. i love them. bought these end of 2023 after my 2nd was born. now that im due soon with my third, i had to come back to review these. these are simply the BEST postpartum compression leggings i could find. i had purchased the regular and capri length in small on a whim after my first baby was born in early 2021. there werent many reviews at the time, and i didnt have any other postpartum leggings to compare them too. little did i know at the time, i started off with the best ones. i was a bit bigger and more stretched out postpartum with my second in late 2023 and needed a size large. this is when i bought a few other brands to compare... why these are the best: the compression is ACTUALLY where I need it. i am short (5'2") with a long torso and short legs (soft gamine body type). but I make heavy and long babies for my height thanks to my 6'4" husband, so my stomach area gets really stretched out compared to most women. maybe others don't have this issue, but I found with other leggings brands, even high-waisted ones SPECIFICALLY marketed for postpartum, that the compression starts way too high up, like past my belly button. idk about you, but my uterus is much lower than that, even a few days post-birth as it starts shrinking fairly quickly, so what ends up happening in the compression is all up in my ribs, above the uterus, and it actually forces my pooch down and to stick out MORE especially when sitting, which you do a lot of after birth. anyways, these leggings start the compression where I need it, right around hipbones and up. far below the belly button and actually over where we need it. the compression isnt painfully tight either. so what this does for me is puts comfortable pressure on not only my uterus area, but also helps hold your looser shrinking hip ligaments in place and any lovehandles. yes, a belly band/binder would do the trick to lower the compression area, but it's nice to have leggings with the correct placement for sleeping/going out of the house when you dont always want to wear a binder. on top of that, these wash well and do not seem to be see-through. i wash separately in a mesh bag as a precaution, but i dont think it's absolutely necessary. i wouldnt exercise in them or call them specifically squat proof, but i do feel comfortable wearing them out of the house even with a shorter shirt. im sure these do eventually pill, especially if youre a non-thigh-gap girlie postpartum like me lol but i havent had any issues with that yet and still have my two pairs from 2021. once i lose most of the blood volume and fluid retention weight (which ALL goes to my thighs during pregnancy), i am able to wear the smaller sizes within a few weeks. even tho they are over 5 years old at this point. please never change how you make these. they are perfect

Good compression, great for smoothing
So, I’m here to write the review that I was looking for when making this purchase lol. For reference I am 5’ 5” and weigh 145lb; I’m also 7 weeks postpartum w/my 3rd baby! I really like these leggings! The compression isn’t going to suck you ALL the way in but it is still good and the smoothing of my belly/love handles is great IMO. The leg compression is PERFECT! They make my thighs look wonderful and accentuate my booty! The leggings are not see through at all which I’m thankful for as well. Take into account that I’m a bit short waisted, but I personally like how high waisted these are—coming up well above my navel. The material is thick but not overly so and seems to be fairly durable. They look like ”nice” leggings as opposed to “athletic” style leggings. (For instance, I wore them to church with a chunky sweater & boots.) Over all I would definitely recommend these leggings, especially for the price! Can’t beat it! They’re comfortable and have given me back some confidence while being postpartum. I’ve also attached pictures so that you can see what I mean by good compression, great smoothing. I hope this review & the pics help you make your decision! Happy shopping!

Flattens and sucks all that postpartum in!
I literally own five pairs of these and have bought a pair for every single one of my friends post-baby. They’d work great even if you haven’t had a baby! These things flatten and suck it all in yet somehow remain comfortable. Don’t be afraid when you start pulling them on and have to scrunch them, jump around, lie down, wiggle, not breathe, etc. because as soon as they are on, they are immediately comfy! They are very durable; mine have been through two babies ages 3 and 3mo. They are thick but not hot, so no showing off the lady parts! You can wear them in summer or winter. I even wore them months after losing the baby weight as they’re just that awesome. I like the black the best. Be advised that they do have a large band to suck you in, so if you wear them with a crop top or tshirt, the band will show. It’s not super obvious, but the band does look a bit different as it runs from high waist down to the hips. You need at least two pairs of these! I’m 5’6” and 135lbs post baby. Right after baby with baby 1 I was 175lbs and with baby 2 was 156lbs. I bought a size medium and am usually a small. I’d size up one size.

I want to love these…..
Let me just say that I LOVE THESE LEGGINGS. And I do, really. They check 9/10 of my boxes. Just unfortunately not for me. I am 6 weeks post partum and I was looking for something with a high waist (like a maternity pant) but with nice compression. These fit the bill. They come up nice and high, smooth out all the sloppy belly, don’t roll down, are not suffocating, are not at all shiny. Like, perfection. Unless you have big legs, like I do. For reference I am 5’3” and 183. I carry my weight in my legs and hips. These leggings are amazing right down to where they stop being compression wear and start being regular leggings. They are like bike short compression and it cuts directly across my thigh in a very unflattering way. (See pics for reference). If that line was higher up, and I could hide it I would absolutely keep them. Anyone with thinner legs or even medium legs should 100% not hesitate to order this amazing product!! But if you’re shaped like me, think twice.

Great leggings, very impressed!
These are great for putting comfortable pressure on the postpartum belly. They have a high quality look and feel. I ordered a large; I am 5’ 9” and 175 pounds. They come up past my waist no problem. I just finished my third pregnancy and am suffering greatly from a serious mom pooch. These add just enough compression without making me want to pull my hair out (I dislike tight clothes). I may size down to a medium as my belly (hopefully) shrinks over the next couple months. I’m very impressed by these nice leggings. Wishing they made biker shorts too for summer time, too!

After 4 kids and 3 C sections I was struggling to find pants that could A) offer tummy support B) be suitable for workouts & C) possibly double as everyday pants when needed. These do all 3. They are quite difficult to squeeze into at first and I worried when I first put them on that they would be too tight but they loosen up just the right amount while still giving firm support around my tummy area. They also come up so high that it solves the issue I was having with my T shirts not meeting my pants since I have rather a long torso this has always been an issue even before I had kids. The fabric is thick and doesn't go shiny or see though when stretched & they revert back to their pre worn shape and size after washing. I'll definitely be ordering more!

These leggings are actually really comfortable and aren't sheer. They do some compressing which makes my new flabby mom tummy look a little better. It's not the tightest compression but it's enough where I feel better about myself lol

Excelente producto! Tienen una malla en el estómago que aprieta bastante y da seguridad durante ese periodo de postparto. Los leggins son bonitos y la talla queda bien!

Ordered in the middle of August - absolutely no updates until they finally shipped a month later, then took two more weeks to arrive. Waist/top compression is actually pretty good but they’re way too baggy in the legs and around the ankles
