Kindred Bravely Louisa Ultra High-Waisted Maternity Leggings – Over The Bump Pregnancy Support for Comfort & Style – Perfect for Yoga, Workouts & Everyday Wear

The best ever! They are so comfy! Cool enough for warm days and warm enough for cool days! I like the level of support in the belly, and when I sit down for a rest I often fold the band and it doesn’t keep rolling down, stays well in place! Highly recommend!For reference, I'm writing this at the beginning of my second trimester but even at this point, maternity leggings are a must for me! I am 5'2" and was 160 lb before pregnancy - I carried most of my weight around my midsection already. I own these in a Size Large. So. Holy freaking perfect, you guys. Shopping for maternity leggings on Amazon is a weird world - so many $7.99 pairs from vague Chinese companies out there. As I did my searching, I had a basic criteria that I wanted my leggings to meet and the Kindred Bravely was the only one that fulfilled it all!1. NOT see-through thin! Absolutely no $7.99 pair will meet this criteria. I've tried. These Kindred Bravely are basically comparable to the thickness and stretchiness of LuLuLemon athletic leggings (same price range) but honestly I like these Kindred ones MORE!2. REALLY high-waisted. Some that I tried on just went a little bit above my natural waistline - which worked while I still had my basic waistline in my first trimester - but those seemed like they would slide right off under the belly later on. These Kindred leggings literally reach the underwire of my bra right now at the beginning of my second trimester. This gives me confidence that they really stay up over my belly no matter how large I get. They probably won't be underwire height by the end of the pregnancy, but maybe halfway up the belly? I don't know - but I'm not worried about it because these leggings are SERIOUSLY high-waisted! (as noted above - I am short)3. CAN transition into "regular" leggings after baby. These Kindred leggings get an A+++ in this category and is THE REASON I was willing to spend big bucks for 'em! They are the only maternity leggings I've ever seen with this genius design. Rather than an elastic placed right at the top of the waistline to "hold" up some thin and stretchy fabric (I'm looking at you, Target maternity leggings!) these Kindred leggings are thick yet stretchy through the whole leg and belly fabric. It's a perfect design for "holding in" your belly after baby. And then THE BEST PART is that they are designed to be folded over! You can wear them as hip huggers, high waisted, or anything in between just depending how far you fold over the belly section.I 100% plan to keep buying these AFTER pregnancy is done. I love high waisted leggings and I naturally carry my weight around my midsection more and absolutely nothing has fit me as well as these Kindred leggings have. I'm looking forward to wearing these through the next six months of my pregnancy and for years beyond that! Yes, their quality gives me confidence that they will last. Absolutely 100% worth the money. Don't even bother trying another one of those $7.99 pairs from China. Like in Say Yes to the Dress, once you try on this pricey but quality piece, all other cheaper "within your budget" pieces will no longer be of interest. Seriously.I purchased these not for pregnancy, but in a fit of desperation after having an egg retrieval for IVF, during which - if you didn't already know - grows your ovaries to epic proportions. Nothing fit in my closet. Every seam on my regular leggings - which run towards high waisted styles anyway - dug into all the wrong places. I did not have the fortitude to go into a maternity store, or make any "maternity" purchases in person - because I just can't handle the excited but quite intrusive questions. Like many going through this process, there are no promises, and it's a trying & emotional time.So I wanted leggings that didn't have an obvious "bump" panel. Just in case things don't work out, I want to not relegate these to the back of my closet because $90 is a LOT of money for adorable stretchy pants. I wanted to not worry about my shirt riding up, a well-intentioned family member seeing obvious maternity leggings, and freaking out. I just wanted leggings that went up over my immensely swollen stomach (my ovaries are currently the size of navel oranges), and after finding how soft and comfortable Kindred Braverly's sleep bras were (also wish that wasn't categorized as maternity/nursing), I tried these leggings.So, actually about these leggings. The fabric is fabulous. It's not see through, it's very soft to the touch, and the seams are placed comfortably. The belly panel is constructed of the same fabric as the rest of the leggings, which makes things look SO much more streamlined. They're just compressive enough to be comfortable without stretching out over the course of the day. Again - they're unbelievably soft. Not only am I rocking a serious amount of fluid that has me looking about 7 months pregnant, my skin is sensitive beyond belief. I'm sleeping in these. Working in them. I tried multiple brands & returned all but these. In fact, I ended up buying 2 pairs. I hope that I can actually make it to the "maternity" portion of this saga. But in the meantime, I'll wear these. I hope that the brand considers marketing beyond maternity/pregnancy, because there are so many other women going through this, and it's hard to find comfortable clothes and shopping anything labeled maternity just sucks (and completely inundates you with baby ads galore).Hard to find maternity leggings with pockets. Very soft and comfortable. You can fold band down or pull up over your belly to your bra. They are a fairly thick material, but my boyfriend could still see through them in the sunlight. Attract pet hair. On the fence to keep, because they weren’t cheap…but very comfortable.These are amazing so so soft!!! They fit perfect as expected the high waist is so comfortable! I would say well worth the $ very comparable to Lulus. Im 5’7 7 months pregnant (28 weeks) and 185 lbs, pre pregnancy weight 175 -178 ish .. anyway these are great not tooo long or too short i can tell i will definitely wear these after birth. Wow so soft though and supportive in the belly but not too much. Perfect maternity pants …I ordered these pants when I was pregnant, but found the compression was too much for me.These are so great for nursing, lounging and working out. I found that nearly every pair of yoga pants I wore postpartum rolled down, so the really high yet foldable waistband on these was perfect. I’m still, at 17 months postpartum, quite uncomfortable with my stomach and love these so much because of how secure they make me feel.My original pair has developed two small holes in the crotch area along the seams. I recently purchased a size down in the style with pockets and they are wonderful. Would definitely recommend. I would certainly order more colours if they were available in Canada. The navy blue seems to only be available in the USA unfortunately.These are exactly what I would expect for the price. If you’re doubting like I did, you won’t be disappointed. I debated for a week whether I’d spend the money. After reading numerous 5 star reviews though I decided to take the plunge. I was not disappointed. These are super comfortable and feel like high quality leggings. Not see through at all. I had read many reviews of cheaper leggings and just didn’t want to take the risk. I would definitely Baby these in terms of washing. The more gently we treat our clothes the better they will last for us. Washed and tumble dry on gentle or delicate cycles twice now and they look like they’ve never been washed. Looking brand new.They are maybe a inch or so too long but no biggie as they aren’t baggy around the ankle. I will try and remember to update in a few months after repeated wear.Great maternity leggings! I’d ordered and returned a few different pairs (cheaper ones) and I got what I paid for, either super thin or would have no support. Finally I decided to try these ones even though the price was steep but these leggings were awesome. Love that I can either fold the waist band over or keep it longer and high. My only complaint is they can be too warm, winter is fine but if the weather is nice out they would be too hot because of how thick they are. I’m usually in between sizes so I ordered up to a large for the extra length as I’m tall, I think a short person would find these too long but they work great for me.I am 15 weeks along and was lost in a sea of browsing maternity leggings online during the pandemic. I am very pleased with my purchase, the leggings are soft, I feel like I’m being adequately supported and I can fold them down if I want to. I will likely buy a second pair and am holding a 7/8 length would be released because I’d snap those up too! Highly recommend these for the other expecting mamas out there.
