Bras During Pregnancy: Leonisa's Pregnancy and Maternity Products
Every person experiencing pregnancy or the joys of a new baby can use some support. Leonisa is here to offer it in the best way we know how: through our comfortable, functional pregnancy and postpartum bras, shapewear and other products. Many options are available in various styles, sizes and colors, so you can find what you need to feel like your best self.
Maternity and Postpartum Shapewear
Many women love theadded support they receive from wearing maternity shapewear as well as postpartum shapewear after their child is born. We offer various options, whether you want just a little coverage or something that covers more of your body.
One available option is firm compression postpartum panties that feature an adjustable front belly wrap. You can adapt them according to your current comfort level, and their soft material makes them easy to wear throughout the day. We also have the Firm Compression Postpartum Panty with Adjustable Belly Wrap, so you can choose what you feel most comfortable wearing.
There's no doubt your body, and especially your stomach, experience a lot of pressure during and after pregnancy. Wearing the right maternity and postpartum shapewear can assist with easing some of the discomfort, especially in the back and the stomach areas. For example, the Seamless Maternity Support Panty Short and Comfy Supportive Maternity Legging help support the stomach, back and other areas of your body.
We offer various other types of shapewear to help you feel more comfortable as your body recovers after giving birth to your baby. Options such as our Extra High-Waisted Sheer Bottom Sculpting Shaper Panty and Extra High-Waisted Classic Butt Lifter Shaper Panty provide a smoothing and supportive effect, including for the torso, and are designed to stay in place without any uncomfortable shifting.
Maternity Bras
Comfortable, supportive maternity bras during pregnancy are a must, not just for your comfort level but also for your breast health. They typically include many great features for your changing body, such as easily adjustable straps. Browse our multiple options, including the Multipurpose Pullover Seamless Sleep Bra Daily Or Maternity.
Nursing Bras
Nursing bras also offer comfort and support with the added benefit of having a feature that allows you to nurse your baby easily. As an example, our full coverage High-Tech Clip Cup Nursing Bra has clip-down cups that let you nurse without needing to remove or shift the entire bra.
Maternity and Postpartum Panties
Sporting the right maternity and postpartum panties can make a huge difference in both how you feel and move during these two significant stages. Comfortable fabric is non-negotiable for both stages, especially at the waist. Leonisa options like our 3-Pack Full Coverage Comfy Classic Panties can make it easier to navigate your daily tasks without worrying about your panties shifting out of place, bunching up or hitting at the wrong spots and causing irritation.
Talking to Your OB/GYN About Maternity and Postpartum Products
We highly recommend speaking to your OB/GYN about which maternity and postpartum products are best for you, your comfort, and your overall health. Your doctor can even deliver recommendations based on your specific body concerns and needs, especially if it’s about which product types and sizes would be ideal.
It’s best to speak to your OB/GYN right before you're going to buy the new products so you have the most up-to-date advice based on how you currently feel and your pregnancy or postpartum stage.
Transitioning to Pregnancy Bras, Underwear and Shapewear
Breasts typically start changing during the first trimester, which is the time frame from conception to 12 weeks later. Pregnancy bras are designed to handle breast changes, including by having more comfortable straps.
One of the biggest differences between maternity bras and non-maternity bras is that the former typically doesn't include an underwire. However, if they do, it’s usually more of a flexible underwire rather than a rigid one. This may not seem like a major change, especially considering how comfortable the products can be, but if you’re not used to them, they may take some getting used to in the beginning.
One tip you might want to consider trying is transitioning to pregnancy bras, shapewear, and underwear as soon as possible. This can help you ease into wearing the different products and give your body a chance to get used to them. Consider sporting them around the house when you’re first starting rather than outside of your home for long periods. Once you feel how wonderfully comfortable and supportive they can be, you could start wearing them for longer time lengths.
Measuring for Maternity and Postpartum Products
Your body is constantly changing during pregnancy and postpartum. One of the benefits of maternity and postpartum shapewear, postpartum underwear and bras is that they’re designed to work with and complement your body’s changes. However, you must still ensure that you’re buying products in the correct size.
Taking your measurements right before you want to buy any Leonisa products is the best thing you can do for yourself and your changing body to ensure comfort and an accurate fit. It can be ideal to have a trusted person take the measurements for you.
Leonisa makes it easy to compare your updated measurements to each maternity and postpartum product on our site. Each page includes a Fit Predictor as well as a Size Guide. Use both plus your measurements to choose the correct size for each product. However, if you need assistance, know that our expert customer support team is always available to help you through the process.
Feeling Like Your Best Self in Postpartum and Maternity Products
There are undoubtedly many benefits of wearing maternity and postpartum products, but one of the biggest is that they can help you feel like your best self. You’re already doing so much for the new life growing inside you, or the one(s) you just brought into this world, and you deserve to feel comfortable throughout. That can be challenging when your focus is being spread out to so many different people, places and things.
We all have days when just getting dressed in the morning is an accomplishment in and of itself. You're not alone if you're having one of those days! But maternity and postpartum products - including shaper shorts, nursing bras, and panties - can give you some extra support and a streamlined look under clothes without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're wearing a power suit, a dress, jeans, or sweatpants that day, wearing our undergarments underneath will give you a boost of confidence.
As a bonus, postpartum and maternity products can provide you with the added support you and your body deserve, want and need. Whether you want this support in the breast area, torso, hips, back or elsewhere on your body, you can find it via our selection of incredible Leonisa products on our website.
Washing Your Leonisa Maternity and Pregnancy Bras, Panties and Shapewear
To allow Leonisa's panties, bras and shapewear to continue to work for you, you must wash them properly. Correct washing and drying helps them retain their shape and fit so they can continue to stay as good as new. Each product includes a care tag, but there are a few key things you’ll want to keep in mind.
For starters, a delicates bag can be your best friend when you want to put your postpartum and maternity clothing in the washing machine. These mesh bags are specifically designed to help protect these types of garments.
You should also put your washing machine on the most delicate cycle it has and wash the complementary items together. For instance, throw nude shapewear in a delicates bag for one load of wash and put black bras, panties, and shapewear in another load. Never put the water on “hot.” Always set it only on warm or cold and use a gentle detergent.
As convenient as a dryer is, it’s not going to do your new maternity and postpartum products any favors; instead, it could damage them. Ideally, you should lay them flat to dry (but never wring them out first). If putting them flat isn’t an option, then you can carefully hang them up to dry.
