Great support for exercise and standing for prolonged periods
I really enjoyed these shorts for exercise and working on my feet all day from second trimester up to mid third trimester, when the shorts started to feel too restrictive around the belly especially in the evenings. They don’t smell and retain their shape after multiple machine washes. Definitely recommend for active pregnant ladies experiencing lower back pain and pelvic floor heaviness!
Soooo supportive , great high waist ,I have no bottom so a little flappy at back but doesn’t show under clothes. Only issue for me is they accentuate bulge of front hip flexor. Highly recommend.
