    FAQ:
    - when do i need them?
    a few days after birth
    - why do i need them?
    well you dont NEED them. But you should want them. they are super tight and reinforced around the waist which sounds counterintuitive but they suck you in to help you heal. built this way and recommended by many many many obs, midwives and women's health physios
    - what size should i get?
    you're probably late pregs right now... so go one size up from whatever maternity leggings you're wearing right now (or 1 size up from your regular leggings) UNLESS you like them super super tight
    - what should i do with them after ive finished with them?
    you haven't. keep wearing them. seriously. we sell this exact product as body shapewear leggings because SO many mums kept commenting how they keep wearing them well and truly after having babies.

    About Emamaco Recovery Leggings

    Designed from the ground up to support and shape Post Natal.
    Introducing the Emamaco Pregnancy Recovery Leggings and Shorts.

    Made to complement the Emama Maternity Leggings. Our Maternity Leggings are made to be worn throughout pregnancy and also immediately after. When you need that extra support and compression you can switch to these Pregnancy Recovery Emama Leggings (usually straight away when you get home from hospital).

    Please consult your medical professional regarding your compression requirements for post pregnancy recovery. They will be able to advise you on the timing and suitability of wearing recovery clothing including the emamaco pregnancy recovery tights.

    Extra high and extra supportive the pregnancy recovery leggings pull you in provide back support as well as abdominal support.

    No Front Seam = No Camel TOE

    No annoying front seams and stitching down the crotch means you get better comfort AND no camel toe

    Custom Developed by Emamaco for our beautiful customers

    4 Panel Support System

    With in-built Mesh we have 4 support panels around the tummy to provide back and ab support and the help with ab separation through compression.

    The extra layer of mesh provides breathable support and compression through the abdominal region.

    Stitching for Post Natal Recovery

    We only use flat lock stitching because it is strong and does not cause skin irritation. This is especially important for Post natal recovery if you have c-section scars.

    The waist seam is lower to provide all of the support required for postpartum 

    Materials and Fabrics

    Made from the emamaco Supaflex fabrics used across our maternity range, the leggings are smooth, super soft, breathable and fit like a second skin.

    Material is a custom Nylon and Elastane blend

    Please note some sizes have our updated emamaco logo at the back (not shown in the pictures).
    The new logo is just as small and unobtrusive as the old.

    Size Guide

    The size chart for Recovery is different to Maternity & all other emamaco leggings.

    Sizing is based on your Hip Measurement if you are currently 35v weeks plus.
    To measure your hips you just measure around the widest part of your butt (not your bump!) like in this photo:

    Blue measuring tape used for hip measurement in Pregnancy Recovery Size Guide.

    Please note our size chart is a guide and everyone and everybody shape is different  if you need help with sizing always reach out to our customer service team for help.

    If you are postpartum:

    We recommend to choose based on your waist and hip measurement.

    If you find on the size chart that your waist measurement is under a larger size category than your hip measurement then we recommend to go with the waist measurement. For example if your waist is 80cm and your hip is 102cm then we recommend to go with size medium.

    If your hip measurement is on the larger size category compared to your waist measurement on the size chart then we recommend to go by the hip measurement. For example if your hip is 100cm and your waist is 73cm then we would recommend to go with size XS 

    Please note our sizing chart is a guide and everyone is different. If you have any questions about sizing please get in touch through the contact us page here.

    Please pick your size based on your hip measurement if 35 weeks plus pregnant and  based on your waist and hip measurement if postpartum in the chart below, please note everyone will always fit into 2 sizes well. If you want a less tight fit you can usually size up.
    Note - do not size down as these are a compression garment and quite tight!

    Sizing applies for all Pregnancy Recovery Leggings and Shorts.

    Best Maternity Leggings

    This is my 3rd order with Emamaco, I have bought their maternity bike shorts, and postpartum recovery leggings 3 years ago. And they're still going strong! Just bought 3 more pairs of maternity leggings for my 2nd pregnancy and they don't disappoint. I am 170cm and a size 18. My long legs and big booty are hard to dress, but are no match for Emamaco. Also their support team are amazing and helped me when my tracking info didn't load properly.

    Highly recommended

    Such great support!!

    I bought these for my daughter and she lives in them! She fines that the weight of the baby strains her back a lot, so she wears these shorts under her dresses and skirts to help support her stomach. She loves them!!

    Extreme comfort and fit

    I have Been using emamco gym gear for the last 3 years. It works well, breathable fabric, takes the body shape perfectly and easy to care for.
    Loyal customer.

    Best leggings I’ve ever worn.

    I have Lipoedema and the compression on these are amazing. Bought them for my daughter and friends.
    They hold you in and make you look so skinny.

    I love these for regular gym wear!

    Recommended by my physio, these thights keep my core muscles safe and I love that none of my pet hair ever gets on them.

    Such a wonderful idea So generous I do hope someone who really needs this wins

    Exceptional! Post birth leggings

    Bought for post birth compression and am really impressed. I’m a size 12 usually and although these look tiny when they arrive for really well (bought size M shaper move leggings 7/8 length with pockets).the pockets are a must have! So handy - they fit my large iPhone too.

    I actually tripped over in these on gravel and they didn’t rip!

    Love these leggings

    Love these leggings! The 7/8 length is perfect, and the pockets are super convenient. Great fit, comfortable, and perfect for workouts or everyday wear.

    Love these leggings! The best maternity pants!

    My girlfriend recommended these leggings and swears by them. Now I can too! They’re comfortable, stretchy and don’t hold you too tightly. Highly recommended! I can’t wait to grow into these!

    Perfect post partum

    I purchased these recovery leggings to have for when I had little bubba. I did leave it a bit late and had to pre order them for the arrival mid August. Baby arrived two weeks early so I didn’t get to wear these straight away (four weeks later) however still sooo worth it and I’m wanting to purchase some shorts as I love how they feel around the tummy very supported and high waisted. Everything feels snug.

    Amazing

    These are the most comfortable maternity leggings. They support me nicely and sit comfortably around my belly. I love how high they come up and don’t have to worry about them falling down as they stay right where I need them.

    Best dog walker pants!

    I’m a dog walker and have struggled to find good tights. These don’t slip down while walking, fur doesn’t stick (dirt almost rubs off too), i can’t really feel the wind or water through them, and the have 2 pockets! I love them! I have a pair for every day of the week 😂

    Best nursing crop

    I loooooove this nursing Crop! It looks good & feels great!. True to size also. I purchased 2 from a different site & they definitely don't measure up. My only regret it only purchasing 1.

    The best leggings!!!!

    These leggings are amazing!! Super supportive at holding my belly in after a c section yet still comfortable! I feel they’ve made a difference in my swelling too! Definitely recommend giving them a go post partum!

    Amazing! Love them!

    These recovery leggings have been an amazing part of my postpartum recovery in my second pregnancy. I definitely felt the difference in my abdominals the second time around and these leggings provide me the best support for my recovery! Love them!

    Surprised with the amazing quality!!!

    For the discounted price I got them for, and quite minimalistic branding and packaging, the product itself is the BEE’S KNEES!!! The most comfortable, supportive and smooth maternity leggings I’ve ever come across. They stay on so well and don’t ride down, they are not see-through, while being relatively light fabric. The fabric itself is smooth, compressive and repels lint. The pockets are a bonus too! I am 177cm tall, currently 6 months pregnant and weighing 79kgs, and I wear size Small for that tight, supported feel. Love! I also got post-partum leggings and shorts for my future recovery.

    Recovery leggings

    Best leggings ever!! I have 2 cats and these are the only legging I can wear as they never get cat hair on them. Ever!!

    Lived in this shorts!

    I've tried a few maternity brands, and both pregnancies I've ended up always choosing the Emamaco Bike shorts for the most comfort. They're comfortable right through the end of the third trimester with the lower front hemp and super high rise, not digging into the bump at all.

    27/02/24 7/8 Maternity Leggings - Black
    Dom Coolican
    Ultimate comfort

    I purchased the maternity 7/8 leggings and I’ve never felt so comfortable while pregnant. They don’t dig in anywhere, they are super soft and you just feel held together in all the right places. 10/10

    Comfortable, stylish & affordable!

    love emamaco & their maternity range for many reasons! We have a golden retriever mix and it’s so nice to finally find active wear that doesn’t get covered in pet hair every day. They are super comfy & their long nursing corps are very flattering! The material is supportive yet flexible which I love as I always get a big bump in pregnancy. I wish I found them with my previous two pregnancies! 100% recommend. Very affordable as well & true to my normal sizes. And oh their shorts don’t cut into my thighs which is another MASSIVE bonus!

    I love my pregnancy tights

    The tights/pants came about 8 working days after ordering. They are so comfy and perfectly sized, they really help support the expanding belly and have full coverage (no see through areas). Great for aussie hot summers as they are still cool to wear even in the 35+ degrees perth weather. Pockets are a godsend!!! In love with these tights.

    Great length & fit

    I recently purchased the 7/8 length shaper move leggings and was so impressed with the fit, hair-free fabric and price that I also purchased the shorts and 3/4 leggings. The shorts are a great fit (XXL for me at 163cm tall, 86kg, Australian size 14-16) and sit about 2.5" above my knee. The leg openings aren't too narrow, so they don't cut off my legs in a weird knee muffin top way like some other brands. The waist is nice and high, and smooths out my curves beautifully. While the top rolls a little with movement, the positives far outweigh this minor inconvenience. I just with there were more colours and patterns available, as pastels and light colours aren't a good look on my lower half, so I'm in boring black for now!

    Maternity tights

    The best purchase I have ever made. I’m 7 months pregnant and my bump is becoming increasingly bigger, these tights are so comfortable and make me feel so confident. They help with pain I’ve had in my back and legs and are just amazing. Don’t hesitate buying. And buy the size you usually would be! So much room

    So stoked!

    I especially like these shorts! More then the pants. Because it's summer yes, but also they fit nicer! I bought on sale and have no regrets! And I was that person refusing to buy anything maternity. But when my tights stopped fitting, and I shorts just didn't feel secure. I thought if I'm going to spend anywhere it's here. Plus they help lock you in post partum! If they really do go back to size, it's a win, win. I'll keep wearing this long after pregnancy. :)
    Goes with the black nursing top so nicely too. ;)

    10/11/23 7/8 Maternity Leggings - Black
    MEL WATSON
    Extremely comfy

    I got the 7/8 leggings. I’m 160cm and they are a perfect fit for a full length tight for me which is what I was hoping for. I ordered S and normally a size 10. When I opened the pack I thought they would be tight as looked small but they are easy to get on and didn’t feel too tight or anything once on. They Move & stretch really well with your body and perfect to cover my growing bump (currently 28wks). wet happy with my purchase and glad I went with the small.
