5 Most Comfortable Shapewear Options for New Moms & Moms-to-Be

There are many things to consider when you’re about to have a baby: you’ll be thinking about names, nursery colors, which family members you’ll be calling on for help. But one thing new parents can often forget is taking care of themselves. By taking care of yourself in the early stages of parenthood, you’re making yourself a better parent.

Staying comfortable and confident before and after you have your baby will significantly improve your mental health, help you feel more comfortable in your own skin and your clothes, and feel supported, even when your body is going through a period of change.

 

Can you wear shapewear while pregnant? Can you wear shapewear after you give birth?

 

Yes, you can! Just make sure you buy the right sizing and material and size up as your bump grows. After you’ve had your baby, work your way back, sizing down when you feel ready to.

Post maternity shapewear gently helps your body to return to its pre-baby state. Shapewear can be particularly useful in the first few weeks postpartum when you’re feeling sore. If you’ve had a C-section, shapewear can create a buffer between your stitches and your clothes, reducing irritation.

Postpartum shapewear can also encourage better posture and core strength, helping support you when your abdominal muscles are sore and healing.

 

What shapewear can I wear pre- and postpartum?

The main thing to keep in mind is comfort; your body is going to be sensitive, so you need to look shapewear with as few fastenings and seams as possible. The other factor to consider is sizing; the right sizing will help you feel comfortable and supported. If you aren’t sure what size you need, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team who would love to help you find the right shapewear for your stage of pre- or post-pregnancy.
