Maternity Lingeries Guide - Choosing the Right Maternity Lingeries for Your Body

If you are expecting a baby and are already showing signs of baby bump, it is high time that you purchase maternity lingeries to replace your regular lingerie line. Maternity lingeries are bigger than your regular underwear to snugly fit your growing pregnant body. Most are made from nylon, Lycra, spandex, or cotton. The aim is to provide comfort, breathability, and style for pregnant mothers.

Maternity panties - Made from cotton, spandex, or lace, maternity panties are large and elastic enough to wrap around the stomach and cover them without any pain or discomfort. There are also maternity panties that come in thong styles depending on your preference. Maternity panties come in different colors too.

Maternity bras or nursing bras - Like maternity panties, maternity bras are made from cotton. They can be multi-functional, used as nursing bra, sports bra, or t-shirt bra. They usually have padded cups for maximum comfort and support.

Maternity pantyhose - Made from spandex and nylon, maternity pantyhose are designed to be extra durable. They usually come with underbelly support and in a variety of colors. There are also pantyhose that come in a variety of designs.

Guide

When buying maternity lingerie, make sure to prioritize comfort and support. Other things you should look out for are:

Full seat - For panties, make sure that it has a full seat so it will stay put no matter how much physical activity you do.

Adjustable cups - For maternity bras, make sure to pick one that has adjustable cups to accommodate your changing size as the pregnancy progresses.
